holla!
I have been checking my website stats and have been forced to come to the stunning conclusion that people are reading this thing now. Crazy. So, welcome, reader-type people, best wishes and hopes that Nobody Scores! is not providing you with a uniquely painful experience. If I wanted that I’d spam the site to health insurance executives and economists and spare everyone else’s squishy, squishy eyeballs. Big ups and such to Dresden Codak (which looks a lot like what Nobody Scores would look like if I spent two weeks on each comic and didn’t have misgivings about making my comic pretty, given its usual content) the mighty mighty Dinosaur Comics (which, on the other hand, is about as far from Nobody Scores as you can get except for the no-continuity thing, so I can see why those readers don’t stick around as much) and the Comics Curmudgeon guy (who I urge once again to holla) who linked to me on one of his paying gigs, I guess because he was real pressed by deadlines or something. Thanks to these people up to several hundred internet beings now may have stared slack-jawed at my efforts and so I gotta thank them, and also that forum guy that introduced my comics as “cute, but not funny,” thus hurling me back in time to age fifteen, cursing at the world anytime anyone referred to my drawings as “cute”. How dare you! I DRAW SERIOUSLY! * tear *
Okay that was scary. But now this is scarier because I have learned to fear internet people, but I am also curious. One of my lovable quirks, by which I mean tragic flaws, is that I take forever to update technical things on the site. Like, it took six months for me to finally put up an archive page. It’s terrible. But anyway, I had one guy this week hunt down my e-mail address (which is on my other sites) to inform me of the need to create a favicon for the site. I’m not sure what good that does outside of being a tiny cosmetic touch – maybe it’s useful for aggregators? – but, while it is certainly something I should get to, it doesn’t seem like it should be that high on the priority list, like, I ought to have some form of feedback system first, etc. And that is where the readers come in. For the first time ever echo echo echo I am opening up a (completely unformatted default Textpattern style, I’m warning you) comments section in order to solicit your opinions on What This Site Needs.
If commenters would mostly stick to technical pony requests, with a possible sideline in goofy banter, it would make me happy. Happiness means not feeding people their least favorite forms of genitalia having to (shudder) moderate and shit! We all like happiness.
