Added Keychains to the store! I have a limited number of the original set and 6 new images for the next set. – The store is located at shivae.com.

If you would like to suggest images for future keychains, let me know! I’ve also readded the tote bags to the store and will be adding more prints and things SOON!

Updates for the rest of the week did not go up due to the work I did in preparation to move the site around and such. There will not be any delays once we actually ARE able to move to the new system since I know what I need to do now and the bugs are worked out. The new system will have a new membership feature.
I had three wallpapers in various states of finish that were SUPPOSED to go up starting today. :/ Right now, I just need to ink one page to be on track for normal, BUT – notice the BIG but – I was at Children’s hospital in Dallas last night from 1 to after 7 with Kim. She began running a really high fever, most likely over 104.1, which is the best we could record on the thermometer due to her shaking and coughing. With her history – we thought it best to go to Children’s ER and get her looked at. Kim ALSO stayed up the entire night along with my husband. (I slept until noon.)
So, she has Swine Flu AND Pneumonia. She was released this morning to be watched with certain conditions of taking her back if things get worse. Right now, as I’m typing this, she has a fever again and I’m watching it.
If you all don’t mind only a couple of updates next week.
Frumph has shown me the new features in Comicpress and there are a LOT of good things in it, which you will be seeing as soon as I reclaim my FTP information and see if I can move the site to a slightly different setup like cyantian.net and shivae.net have been set up on.
First and foremost… membership areas with members only content enabled.
Frumph gave me a good suggestion, but I can’t fully implement it at the moment, working on it through the day. And for those of you who are complaining: I can’t buy groceries, soap for washing dishes or gas right now due to losing ONE ad company for some obscure reason they don’t feel they have to explain. I am NOT risking losing another. The other which has a LONG track record of nixing sites and is in the mood to do so again right now by the reports.
You’ll have to click the comic image on the right that says: Latest Comic. If you hover your mouse over it, it’ll go even further and give you the date so you can see exactly when the last update was. There IS a hidden method to bookmark a url that will show you the most current comic, but you must pass a test first.
(Would it be easier to see if I put it on the LEFT side?)
The reason the comic has moved is 1. People who ask me questions about stuff that’s IN the very page they’re asking me questions about. and 2. Advertising companies are fickle and advertising is what’s paying my bills. I didn’t do it to increase pageviews. I did it so my site is not mistaken for a comic site without contextual content. Yes, it’s obviously NOT, but as I just said… advertisers are fickle. I’d rather not risk getting removed because they think I only have images on my site and am removing that impression entirely.
It is possible that the comic can return to the index page, but only if I’m comfortable with it. Personally – I PREFER the comic on the index page, but this is better than the comic stopping updating, which is what would happen if I lose another advertiser. Losing one was bad enough. (I’m still awaiting a real explanation on that one. 9.9 I think they just wanted to keep my earnings. ) One of those ways that would make me comfortable is securing a way to offer adfree viewing to subscribers. I’m working on it. When that is implemented, the comic WILL return to the main page.
Oh … and I AM trying to find that stupid green ad that keeps covering the entire screen. I know the url and everything, I’m just having a difficult time getting it OFF my site.
Update: Update: Frumph is working on something that might help… I won’t know until I see it.
