I removed the Crowfeathers comic from Drunk Duck, since my Project Wonderful ad was apparently removed at some point. I also removed Somery C from this site and the crowfeatherscomic folder. Crowfeathers now has a b2evolution blog of its own. 

I cloned the current theme and made a slight alteration in it for displaying comics. I may darken the background some more.

I'm toying with finally coming up with an ending for Crowfeathers. If I do, it will probably be something silly like a giant whale falling from the sky and crushing everyone to death. It ought to have an ending so people don't yell at me for not completing an old project before starting a new one, but then again I don't seriously want to draw any more for something that I'm not going to do anything further with.

I changed the site theme/layout again, this time to something slicker and more professional looking and hopefully better suited to the assorted content. I finally figured out how to make pages without starting a new blog or making one from scratch, so now there's an About page.

The Crowfeathers comic was totally cobbled together and running on Somery C, which is now completely out of date and unsupported, so I am working on converting it over to posts in b2evolution. All the other comics and photos on here are simply blog posts in b2evolution.

Why am I using b2evolution instead of Wordpress? When Justin and I were doing Lawn Darts in 2009, I tried running it on Wordpress, and it was running hot and heavy and using up too many resources on the server (or so said Lunarpages). I didn't really understand how to set it to cache the pages then, and I still don't... so I started looking at other options for blog software. It took me a long time to figure things out on Wordpress, and it seemed like there was an update every month or less, and then there was a major update during that time that changed everything, and in general it annoyed me. SO, I came across b2evolution, which seems to be barely used by anybody except hardcore nerds, and it was advertised as being a simpler system (easier to alter for people like me that dare to screw directly with the code at all instead of doing absolutley everything via widgets and plugins) and MORE SECURE. I like security, being generally insecure myself. When I had Coppermine installed to show fan art, I got hacked by a Chinese prostitution ring or something weird like that. I'm pretty sure there was some back end issue with Coppermine, anyway, that created the security issue. I don't use Coppermine now, although I'm sure its safe nowadays (does it even exist anymore?). Anyway, more secure = more betterer.

Currently this is a project site where I do a lot of back-office tinkering to learn how various things work. I also have my old webcomics posted here for now.  I'm working on a new series that will be posted if I ever get far enough with it.

The photos are predominantly here for educational use. If you find that a photo is mismarked/mislabeled/mistagged, or if you would like to suggest a better tag, etc. you can leave a comment on that photo, and I will change whatever is incorrect once I get the notification.

I accepted that there is no way I will ever get to the Journey to the West 1 blog, since those photos have to be scanned in, and there are more photos for Journey to the West 2 than I will ever be able to finish posting (at least at the rate I've been working on it), so I removed links to the first one and changed dropped the '2' from the title of the second one.

I went through some of the webcomic blogs and figured out some things. Lawn Darts now has a Random Comic, which is the same as the Random Photo widget in the Nature blog. I could use Albums or Categories like Chapter folders. Currently, the Crowfeathers comic uses Somery C, which is ancient and no longer supported. I don't think I would use Somery C on a new project. I just googled it, and the old website forum seems to have been abandoned and is completely full of spam posts.

I considered trying drop menus, but that may have to wait considering the way my menu is laid out currently.

I did some general site clean up and removed several old folders of art and comics. 

My Marmaduke comics now have a "blog," but it's only one page, like the Books page. There's a link to it from the Webcomics page. I didn't want to make  a main menu link for it since it's of lower importance than the other comics. If I get a new comic going, I think I may remove the other comics from the main menu as well. If I added a drop menu, it would be for the comics.

On the JttW2 blog I added some photos from the Navajo Nation Museum. I went back through the older posts and combined some of the posts if the photos were of the same subject/place.
