Chloroville ver 1.5
Chloroville has a new look!
I thought the old design would last for more than a year, but due to a major version upgrade of Word Press and Comic Press, my old design didn’t work very well. So I spent the weekend reworking the website.
Frankly, after creating 20 strips in Adobe Illustrator really made my life easier when it comes to designing new banner for the site. I just copied existing artwork and characters from the strips and made a simple juxtaposition. Oops, now you know I am a really really lazy person.
Comic Press is getting better and better. The new version offers some exciting layout templates, and they make your life so much easier. This time, the only two files that I modified were “header.php” and “style.css”.
If you are overwhelmed with the vast amount of css styles in “style.css”, I suggest that you download the add-on “Web Developer” for Firefox browser. Once you have your Comic Press setup and have one strip posted, view the page in Firefox, and in the Web Developer toolbar, click CSS > View Style Information and you can use your mouse to rollover different parts of the webpage and know exactly which CSS class you need to modify.

Oh, my!
I have just discovered the joys of Chloroville, and think it’s fantastic. Love the look of the site, too. So clean and, well, FRESH!
I run a vegetable-based comic too (I know, what are the chances?), and if you’re interested maybe we could do a little link-swap or something?
Anyway, keep up the great work.

Hey Fanton,
Your comic strip is absolutely awesome! I especially like your animation clip!!! It’s so professionally done! I definitely will link your site to my site!
More carrot power to you!
