Coding my own website, like a DORK (+) 

Once I got a handle on the CSS, HTML and JavaScript needed for the Rarebit template, getting everything working properly on my webcomic's website has been surprisingly easy!

Turns out if you know a thing or two about how to code up a website you don't need WordPress and all the bloat that comes with.

@SkunkyLass Are you using a static site generator or some server-side stack?

@arina_artemis I don't think I'm using either; I'm coding it in HTML and CSS and when it's ready I'll plop the whole thing into the web domain at once via manual upload

@SkunkyLass I see, I see. Once you're comfortable with that, I do recommend looking into static site generators. At the very least they'll save you the hassle of manually updating the "Previous"/"Next" links.

@arina_artemis the beauty of Rarebits is that it automatically builds an array out of comics pages, so the only thing I have to update is the variable telling it how many there are. Everything else auto-updates via the JS.

@SkunkyLass Ahhh okay, I see.
