Welcome to Balto's Journal
Hey guys, after struggling with this for a few months now I decided to send out an SOS and check to see if anyone out there could offer any advice, help or recommendations on web site resources and development.
As some of you know I have been doing a web comic for quite some time and I recently moved to a new server and with this new server move I wanted to also rebuild build the current site. The only problem is I am not very good with web code and web sites, and I was wondering if any one out there knew of any good resources that I could tap into to build a web site.
Just a little history about the site. As some of you may be aware my comic has been around for quite some time (despite my recent Hiatus) and over time I've managed to a mass quite a large collection of links from various comic hub sites out there. Now that I've moved CritterCounty.com to point to my new domain HodgesPond.com I expect a lot of that traffic to now go to my new site. My Comic has also been published in several newspapers around the US and the comic book (Orville) has also been distributed across the US. The comic has some great exposure and one area that i've always struggled with was with its online presence.
Because of the avenues this comic has been in, the traffic to my web comic has always made the web comic a high profile site and the site typically receives thousands of hits each month. SO, I have the exposure and momentum already going as well as the the fan base and the content, but what I don't have is the means to present it online. This is where I could use some help or advice.
With that being said, in addition to any advice and help with site development, I am also looking for a temporary or (if interested) dedicated site web master for hodgespond.com If you're interested in the position or just have any advice please let me know.
If you're interested in the web master position (or offering help with code) we can work something out as compensation , just contact me and let me know if that's something your interested in doing. The dedicated web master will also receive full name credit on the site. Thanks ;)
This is the current site: https://www.hodgespond.com (yes I know its very basic, hence my call for help LOL)

They do the job. A third one is my own: http://www.mrinitialman.org They all have the same basic layout.
Here's a website where I went nuts with the "eye appeal": http://www.mrinitialman.com/Experim.....r/horrors.html More like "eye appall" *Grin*
