Observant Reclaimer fans may notice that the site looks slightly different this morning. The latest version of the ComicPress theme was officially released yesterday, so I spent some time last night (and early this morning) porting the site layout to the new theme. Hopefully, this will be the last time I have to make a major revision like this, since future ComicPress updates will not, in all likelihood, overwrite any of my customizations.
Most of the changes are on the backend and will, therefore, be all but invisible to you—but they go a long way toward making management of the Reclaimer website much easier for me. What you will notice, however, are a couple of minor visual updates on the front page. For starters, the sidebars, comic, and post entries all have boxes around them, with some background shading near the top. For Firefox users, the boxes have these classy rounded corners; not so much for IE users. (Yet another good reason to switch over to Firefox, if you haven’t already.) There is also a “Related Posts” lists with comic and blog entry to make it easier for readers to find similar content throughout the site, and the new comic nav menu features a “Random Comic” button.
The comic nav menu also now features a “Buy Print” button. I’m going to experiment with this a bit, but readers who want a copy of a specific day’s comic to hang on their wall can now purchase a copy. The purchase price will primarily cover cost of materials and service to print that page and shipping costs. If you’d like a print, just click the button and place your order.
I’m quite impressed with the changes in this latest version of ComicPress, and I’m looking forward to seeing how much time it saves me in the future.
