In case you don’t know, this website is a WordPress blog with ComicPress plugin installed. To have a custom look, you will need to modify some of the “.css” (cascading style sheet documents) and “.php” file within the ComicPress plugin.

Here’s a brief summary of steps you need to do to run a WordPress comic site

1. Register your own web domain name and subscribe to a web hosting package that includes PHP and MySQL features.
2. Download your WordPress kit from WordPress.org/download. It will be a very small zip file and after it has been expanded, use your FTP program to upload all the contents to your website. Follow the instructions given by the WordPress readme. Make sure your basic WordPress blog runs properly before installing the next thing…
3. Download the ComicPress plugin for WordPress from www.MindFaucet.com and follow the instructions. You will be putting the “plugin” folder inside one of your WordPress subfolders and subsequently activating it in WordPress. ComicPress requires you to follow its instruction very specifically, so please spend a minute understanding how it works.
4. Basically your webcomic site is all ready for comic and blog entry posting, but depending on your ambition, you will want to modify the look of your site. If you are not a programmer, but have built yourself a simple website, then you might consider modifying the css files and php files step-by-step and carefully within the Comic Press folder. For example, if you want to have your own special navigation bar, then you might want to program it in Dreamweaver, then copy and paste the code inside the header.php file. Header.php generates, as the filename suggests, the header part of the blog page.

   If you are lost, you will need your some help from your geek friends. To be honest, most people care about your comics more than the look of the site.
