Introducing the Dark Spider Web, The Tagboard, and other little changes...
Some changes happened to the Niece Web website today...
The Dark Spider Web
I added a new feature to the Niece Web website named the Dark Spider Web. Its a blog (kind of like an online journal type thing) that I type about pretty much anything in. I figured that the comic is 1 part writing and 1 part art...and since there is an art section here (the Art Gallery), I figured there might as well be a writing section too, and the Dark Spider Web covers this pretty nicely. So go check it out, the link is active on top of this webpage.
The Tagboard
Another feature that I added to the website is the tagboard. The tagboard is a little place where you can type comments about the comic or do a little chat with anyone who typed in it already...like a mini IM conversation except you don't really know who's available or not. Just type in something, and you'll get a response at some point, haha. So please make use of the tagboard if you have any comments, criticisms, or just anything you have to say.
-Mini Tagboard Walkthrough
1.The first big square with all the words and stuff in it is the MAIN SCREEN that shows the current comments/conversation that's going on.
2.Below the main screen you'll see a text link to the Tag board's main website (where I got the tagboard form in the first place). You can go there if you want to find out more about Tag Boards or if you want one for youself to place on your website.
3.Below the text link you'll see 3 boxes, you'll use these to actually type something into tagboard and have it show up in the Main screen as part of the conversation.
4.First, you type your name into the box that says "Name" above it. You don't have to put your real name, and I encourage you not to. Just put whatever name you want to be identified as.
5.Second, you have the option of typing in your websites' web address (if you have one) or your email address into the second box that says "URL or Email" above it. You can if you want to, its optional.
6.Third, you can now type in your message in the last big box that says "Messages (smilies)" over it. Type whatever you want, but beware that curse words will be *bleeped* out. If you want smilies in your message, just click the link right above the box that says "smilies". Then, a pop up list of all the available smilies will appear and all you have to do is type in the character sequence into your message and it'll appear. (for example, typing :) will get your a smiley face in your message.
7.Press the gray "TAG" button below the message box and your message will appear in the Main Screen for everyone to view. In the Main Screen, the name you given yourself will appear underlined, followed by your message. If you submitted your web address or email, then if you click your name on the Main Screen, it'll bring you to your web page or your default email composer, ready to send a message to your email.
8. Enjoy! If you still have any more problems, just visit tag board's website for more help. I'll add a more complete Tag Board tutorial to the Infodex in the near future.
Other changes
If you go to the main archives page, you'll notice a new gold/black color scheme. I changed the color scheme because it makes the Calendar on that page easier to read. Another change is if you click on a navigation link on the website, that link will turn into a darker shade of gray to make it more readable. The final change is that I added new quotes for the blue bar at the very top of your window. There's a different quote for every page of the website. These are not the biggest changes, but the little ones count too.
There will be a new comic around 10 or 11PM tomorrow, so check back tomorrow. I got a ton of studying and essays to do, so I got to go. Later Taters!
