We haven't been posting because War, who is in charge of this aspect of our adventure, is in bootcamp. Ironic, neh? I thought so, too. She seems to be enjoying herself, though. Or at least she's content. But what War spirit wouldn't be content?

I personally just returned from a convention in Kansas City last night. I got to toute Dimestore, one of our distributors, a bit.

AND I got to see firsthand the sexual divide the other female comic artists complain publically about. To be honest, I thought they were just being whiney bitches but I have been shown the error of my ways.

All of those male geeks out there who want to dream about the future and futuristic sci-fi situations can't seem to drop their club and stop being caveman long enough to give things a try. I was shocked and perhaps even a little frustrated.

I even had one fellow come by and ask me to attend his convention because he needed my element for "the female fans".

Why roar? Because most of our readers are male. MALE! Not because we cater to a male market or even fail at a female market. It's because we don't care if we're an all-woman female team, we just care to tell a good story. And that's all that should be important.

I recently got a chance to test my site on IE8 (I was running Windows 7 Beta in a VM; an interesting experience). I half expected it to display correctly; it is a recent browser, after all... Well, I should have known better. It seems IE8 (and I should think it's predecessors also) don't handle relative links as one would expect (and as many other browsers do). Rather than reading a given link (say '../images/background.jpg') as relative from the css file it is called in, it reads it as relative from the document that's being displayed. After discovering this, I quickly made all my urls absolute--from the server root (eg '/main/images/background.jpg')--including the links to my css files (just in case).

Ok, one problem solved; IE can now definitely see my css files and the images they link to... But there's still a problem; All my pages are black and white (save for the background, which now has an image). Ah, well this one was simple... Internet Explorer can't yet handle hsl() or hsla() as color values. It sucks, but I had to add fallback simpler colors for browsers which can't handle hsl(); that, or remove any keyword colors and replace them with hsl() and leave any browser which doesn't support it with a plain page. Why can't I leave the keywords if I don't put the fallbacks? Because then some text will be colored while other text isn't, and some backgrounds will be colored and others won't, which will cause problems with text readibility (For instance, black text on a black background).

Basically what I did was add 'background:navy;' before any 'background:[hsl color resembling navy];'. IE will be able to read the first one, navy, and when it gets to the second one it will just ignore it. Any browsers which support hsl() will read override the navy with the hsl value and display that instead. Thus, my website is once again compatible with the weird and already dated IE8 browser, and any other browsers which don't yet implement the css I use. ^.^

btw, if you're ever tired of my style, or if it takes too long for the page to load, or for whatever other reason you may have, you can view my page with (basically) no style by clicking on 'View' and going into 'Page Style' and clicking 'No Style' (on Firefox, anyway). It actually looks ok. I'll be adding alternate styles in the future too--dark styles, bright styles, red styles, no background styles, etc.. Not that you would be interested, but I thought I'd put it out there anyway. When I do, I'll probably post here. In the mean-time, enjoy the page in all it's IE glory... or not! ;)

I've added a link to the php source of the <head> section used on all the pages of my site. I also added the Web Neko script to my page, so you can entertain yourself for hours having the cute little kitty follow your cursor around the screen. Unfortunately, it only works if the page is served as text/html in most browsers, so I've added a link to the homepage which forces it to be served as text/html, that way you can enjoy it even if my server would normally serve the page as application/xhtml+xml. The link adds &content=html to the end of the url; you can use this on any page you would like to be served as html(if there's any breakage due to site maintainance or user abuse, or for whatever reason you may have).

I added a notes/FAQs page to my site too, which currently only has two entries in it. If you have any questions you would like to add to it, just let me know.

Also, I realized that the audio file I linked to in my previous journal had the wrong permissions, so the server wasn't allowing anyone to listen to it(nice, but annoying feature of apache on ext filesystems). I've since fixed the permissions, so you can listen to it if you like. Sorry about that.

Yo! Conventions are around the corner, issue 1 -3 are in print and available through Dime Store (and your local comic shop if you ask them nicely to order it). Woot! Printed stuffs!

Heavenly Bride is updating once a week. There is a Language of the Flowers link that lets you know what flowers have what meanings. Also some one you know from Akashik is now making regualr aperances in Heavenly Bride.
