ComicPress Theme Style

(Check the vaildity of your theme's HTML & CSS using the links below. Stock ComicPress is XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2 compliant.)

Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional Valid CSS!
Enable Search Form in Menubar?

   Searchforms can be fun when you have something to search for.
Enable RSS Link in Menubar?

   It's a link, it links to the RSS. It does *not* link to your the winning lottory numbers.
Enable mini navigation buttons in the Menubar?

   Mini Navigation arrows reside on the right side of the menubar, just the previous and next arrows.
Contact Link in Menubar

Setting to "Yes" will put [ CONTACT ] in the menubar and associate it with your admin's email.
   You can also create a links category called "menulinks" and whatever link you add to that will appear in the menubar.
Enable Sidebar CSS?

Enabling this will use the standard CSS styling of the sidebars for all the widget areas.

   If not enabled it will use the .customwidgetarea user made styling only and only the Sidebar-left and Sidebar-right will use sidebar styling.
Enable numbered pagination?

Setting to "Yes" will make the Previous Entries and Next Entries turn into numbered pages to click on.
   Numbered pagination appears on the home(index) page, the authors page the blog template and comments/single when there are more then the set # of comments per page. It's default is off, it is styled like the menubar.
Disable the #page / #page-wide restraints?

Turning this option to Yes will make it so that the divs for #page and #page-wide will not load.

   What you can do with this is use the entire browser for your canvas instead of the 780px/980px that the two elements keep you in.
Make the comic an Href that goes to next comic?

In doing this if someone clicks the comic it will go to the next comic (if possible)
   When a user or yourself puts their mouse cursor over the comic that is displayed on either the index or single page the action that happens next is the first step in the larger, bigger, more astonishing consequence of actually having any the other things you place your mouse cursor over and click. You click, it goes to the next comic.
Enable Rascal the ComicPress Mascot?

Enabling this option will make a comic bubble appear over the comic and write out what you put in the hovertext.
   You can add hovertext when uploading your comic with ComicPress Manager. To change the graphics for this you should probably know CSS quite well. If you don't good luck with it.
Graphic Navigation Directory

Choose a directory to get the graphic navigation styling from.

Graphic Navigation directories are found in your theme directory/images/nav/* to create your own custom graphic navigation menu buttons just create a directory under images/nav/ and place your image files inside of it and create a navstyle.css file to determine the style of your navigation display.
Disable Extra Comment Code?

Set to "Yes" and the extended comment code will be disabled.

  
Extra Comment code is advanced code for how your comments are used. Turning this off might increase the speed of your site but doubt it. If turned off it will revert to the ComicPress 2.7 styling.
Disable Comic On Frontpage?

Set to "Yes" and the comic will not display on the index page/front page of your site.
  
Note: You can use the Latest Thumbnail widget to display your comic in a sidebar. Make sure you set the archive-thumbnail size to under 200px. Turning this off and using the GN style turns ComicPress into a Blog.
Disable the comic blog on the index page?

Set to "Yes" and the blog portion of the comic will not display on the index page/front page of your site.
  
*Some* people,.. not naming names ..do not like to have a comic post let alone showing on the index page.
Disable the blog on the index page?

Set to "Yes" and the blog area will not display on the index page/front page of your site.
  
This feature is quite handy actually. If you disable this you can add a page to your menubar and associate it to the "blog" template, still keeping your blog, .. just not on the index page.
Disable the left and right sidebars on the index page?

Set to "Yes" and the index page/front page of your site will not display the left and right sidebars.
  
Minimalists dream. Best not to use with theme styles that have one of the styles that are to the side of the comic.
Show transcript in post area?

When enabled, if the comic has a transcript, the transcript will be displayed inside the post for the comic.
   The transcript is text that that you can have of your comic's speech. When you add a transcript of the comic to the post-edit or when you upload your comic you can enable this and a transcript box will appear *in* that comic's post area, alternatively you can set the transcript widget and have it placed anywhere *in* the same area of the comic.
Moods Directory

Choose a directory to get the post moods from.
Found: moods in the "" directory.

Mood directories are found in your theme directory/images/moods/* to create your own custom moods just create a directory under images/moods/ and place ONLY image files inside of it. The name of the image file represents what the mood is.
Put Related Comics in comic posts?

Related comics on the list will be related by 'tags' that you create for each comic post.
   When creating tags for your comics, include *only* the subject material and possibly cast. Do not use tags that can relate to the entire archive or storyline the post is on.
Put Related Posts in blog posts?

   Like the related posts for comics, the related posts for blog post checked with other blog posts comparing the tags. Do no use tags that relate to a massive amount of other things, make sure you stick to only using 1-5 tags total, the less the better.
Add graphic calendar to blog posts?

Enabling this option will display a calendar image on your posts.
   The graphic calendar is an image that has the date of the post overlayed on top of it. This option is for the blog posts.
Display a gravatar of the post author on blog posts?

Enabling this option will show a gravatar of the post author based on the authors email.
   Gravatar's are associated by your email address and you can create them at http://gravatar.com. They are pictures of you, your cat of whatever you want to represent yourself.
Add graphic calendar to comic posts?

Enabling this option will display a calendar image on your posts.
   The graphic calendar is an image that has the date of the post overlayed on top of it. This option is for the comic posts, and yes this was cut and pasted from the other one just the word "blog" was changed to "comic".
Display a gravatar of the post author on comic posts?

Enabling this option will show a gravatar of the post author based on the authors email.
   Gravatar's are associated by your email address and you can create them at http://gravatar.com. They are pictures of you, your cat of whatever you want to represent yourself. I didn't cut and paste this one, I just wasn't clever enough to change the text.
Disable showing categories in posts?

The categories that are shown by default are the ones the post in set to.
   Categores != Tags
