how can i host my web comic on my website?
8 years ago
I was wondering if there was a way to host a webcomic on a website, without having to manually insert every page with a manually coded link to the next page?
Or what is the easiest way to host a web comic on a personal website, with an archive and all that?

AAAA this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
The good thing about using Content Management Systems is that you can make up your own templates, so once you're done with that, all you gotta do is upload the pages, but it doesnt require any additional programming like putting all the links there individually all time.
ComicPress has been around for a long time so I am sure there are tutorials :3
Sry, I cant be much more help - it's been a while since I worked in Web Programming ^^;
Wordpress with the Comicpress addon is a reasonable way to go, but it does require regular attention.
Different CMS's are suitable for different things, so you'll have to find one that suits you. Looking at ComicPress (which is an add-on to Wordpress, not a replacement) may be useful.
http://webcomic.nu/ might be an option too, I haven't looked into it in much detail yet.
If you find a really good one that incorporates seamlessly into your site, please mention it in a journal or something. XD
A webcomic of Falvie is just something I really want to see, even more if the grumpy weasel or the happy green dog is featured on it! *Q*
But unfortunately.. this lion know nothing helpful of html, wordpress or action script.. ;w;'''
Many blesses to you Miss Summer! ♥

I'm using it with wordpress for my comic at ahs-comic.com so you can see what that could look like I guess...
You shouldn't use ComicPress it's very outdated at this point and makes updating wordpress a chore, which makes your website insecure. Comicpress will mess up your wordpress install.
Then...
1.) Load [current page].png.
2.) If [current page] is less than [highest page], show the "Next" and "Last" buttons. Set the target of the "Next" button to [current page+1].
3.) If [current page] is greater than 1, show the "First" and "Previous" buttons. Set the target of the "Previous" button to [current page-1].
Of course, if you want to have descriptions underneath and other dynamic things, you'll probably have to start getting databases involved. Still, one manually-coded page takes up much less server space and bandwidth than a Wordpress installation.
