At long last — if a week can be said to be “long” — the site redesign is finished.

The big changes are look and usage: navigation, archives access, tweaking the CSS, and converting to the latest Comicpress theme. Also, the “blog” part has been moved to a separate News page.

Of course, I’ve been designing web sites long enough to know that no redesign is ever truly “done.”

There are always “future enhancements” — for which I have a few for this site. Such as:

• Adding a games page: I want to learn how to create Flash based games. My kids play them all the time, and Sheldon’s adventuring, Chloe’s manic interest in everything, and Guzek’s inventiveness could all make great elements for an adventure game.
• A “coloring book” — really, a page of black and white drawings to download, print and color. There could also be a Flash version of that, too.
• The Store — more stuff to buy, but do it directly from this site.
• A newsletter — this will be coming soon.

All of that will take some time to develop and launch — certainly the Flash stuff — probably most of this year.

Hope you enjoy the new look. And of course, the comics!

Wanderlost has a Facebook page. If you are as addicted to FB as I am, become a fan, post a topic or join a discussion. Or just say hi on the Wall.

This site is getting an overhaul. For the next week I will be tinkering with it, so don’t be surprised if things look a little crude or weird or funny or not-so-funny or amateurish or silly or confusing….

Otherwise, please enjoy the comics. Thanks for your patience!

Sorry, folks. No update today. I came down with a raunchy cold. See you next week.

Sorry for the delayed update, folks. I took on some extra shifts at work, so I ran out of time tonight to post even a black and white version. But the page is inked, and mostly lettered. Monday night I’ll finish it up and post it late. So expect to see it when you wake up bright and early on Tuesday morning.

Welcome to the official home site of Wanderlost, the webcomic series running at Modern Tales.

If you stumbled upon this before the official launch date of June 12, 2008, please pardon the raw state of construction. I will be building pages and installing stories while I design the interface, so who knows what this will look like when you bump into it. But by the launch date, the buggy stuff should be worked out. Until then feel free to catch up at Modern Tales.

Ta ta for now,

Kevin Moore
