New Look & For the Family
New Look
Hey all! Recently I realized that WAM was horribly, horribly broken in IE. I knew it didn’t work perfectly, but I didn’t realize just how bad it was until recently – so I figured, what better time to update?
Well, the new layout is still a little funky in IE (For the love of all things, please switch browsers if you’re using Internet Explorer. I dont’ care what you switch to- Firefox, Camino, Netscape, Opera, whatever, just switch. Please. You’ll be happier in the long run.)
Sorry, enough of that soap-box – the important stuff!
WAM is now beta testing Webcomic 1.8 & Inkblot 1.3 – hurrah! And lots of thanks to Mike for basically doing 90% of the new layout. He’s put a lot of work into it and I’m very greatful. XD The site is looking much better.
But not done, expect tweaking to occur for a while, but you’ve got the idea.
For the Family
In other news, Family Webcomics as reopened its doors for submissions. Usually I’m not a big fan of Rating sites like this (for like television and video games) because they tend to be horribly inaccurate or written by people who either don’t watch the show to its entirty or don’t know what they’re talking about.
Family Webcomics however, appears to be geniunely striving to provide accurate descriptions of the comics submitted and informing parents and readers about what they can expect. It has a new forum open and looks like reviews in the future. I recommend you all go check it out and help keep it in the right direction.
If you’re curious, WAM rates at a WC-14 or PG-13 – but you knew that, because I have a nice rating button in the top corner. :)

I check the comic this morning and everything is normal. I come back in the afternoon and it’s all changed! ;) Looks wonderful, Liliy and Mike. Well done. Interesting idea, using the suggestion of medieval banners for the side bars!
Hmm. Careful– in Firefox, Wiglaf and Mordred almost get lost at the top of the page, the way their line colors relate to the background colors, and “The Adventures of” seems a little funky. But capital, capital!
Looks fine in firefox to me…*ponders*
But yes, very recent turn around. XD I like the medieval banners too; Mike’s idea. :D
Liking the new layout! Now I gotta find all the buttons and shortcuts again, shouldn’t take long. The Medieval tapestry’s on the sides are a nice touch as well!! I agree with KGJ though, about Mordred and Wiglaf nearly getting lost at the top. It does seem to be a bit…high…and Mordred’s shirt gets completely lost in all the black. At first I didn’t even notice it was up there >> I had to double check! Regardless- it still looks awesome! :happy:
Also- I feel so new, so feel free to disregard anything I might say. I tend to just jump in on conversations! It’s better than sheepishly stalking though! :ohhyeahh: Sorry for the double post ;p
No no, I like active posters. :D I think it makes things more interesting. *nods* So feel free to jump in! :cool:
Awwe yay. I feel loved!! :$
Yay! :D
Thanks for the update – I don’t normally use IE but my RSS reader does, and it was a nightmare reading your comments. BTW, you didn’t mention Google Chrome! Best browser ever in my opinion, and the site renders fine in it.
Keep yp the good work! :)
Chrome doesn’t exist yet for Mac so I didn’t remember it. :P
Yeah, it did need the fix. I really wasn’t aware it was so bad in IE. I thought the sidebars were just off. XD
Lol,i must say…..lancelot has quite a taste in women
