			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;But Dan,&#8221; I hear some of you saying, &#8220;if you only update on Mondays, how am I supposed to remember to check back every week?&#8221;</p>
<p>There are a lot of web comics that I keep up with that have very odd publishing schedules. Some publish one day a week, some publish Tuesdays and Thursdays, some publish Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Some publish completely randomly. I use Firefox to manage it all.</p>
<p>Internet Explorer probably does this too, but <em>a.)</em> I&#8217;m on a Mac and <em>b.)</em> even if I wasn&#8217;t, there aren&#8217;t enough Wild Berry Skittles on the planet to bribe me to use Internet Explorer.</p>
<p>Yeah, I like Wild Berry Skittles. A lot.</p>
<p>In Firefox, I have a folder of bookmarks for each day of the week plus one called Daily. Each morning, I open the day&#8217;s folder and check the comics, news and other items that interest me. The folder goes up on the Bookmarks toolbar for easy access, thusly:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-62" title="daily-bookmarks" src="http://www.mediocrewebcomic.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/daily-bookmarks.png" alt="daily-bookmarks" width="520" height="282" /></p>
<ol>
<li>Click <strong>Bookmarks -&gt; Organize Bookmarks</strong> or press <strong>Shift-Cmd-B</strong> (<strong>Shift-Ctrl-B</strong> on PC). Yeah, I write instructions from a Mac perspective. After 15 years of the other way around, it&#8217;s payback time.</li>
<li>Click the Bookmarks Toolbar entry on the left to select it. That&#8217;s where the folders are going.</li>
<li>Right click and choose New Folder or go up to the gear icon, click it and choose New Folder.</li>
<li>Create a folder called Days &#8211; or whatever suits you &#8211; that will contain the folders for each day of the week.</li>
<li>Click that new folder to select, then repeat step three for each day of the week and one called Daily.</li>
<li>Start populating each folder with bookmarks.</li>
</ol>
<p>That&#8217;s all there is to it. Organization, FTW.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s the thing. I&#8217;m well versed in WordPress and web design. Recently, I&#8217;ve really started getting into <a href="http://diythemes.com/?a_aid=danielmclark" target="_blank">Thesis</a>, which is the best framework for a WordPress-based website in history&#8230; unless you do web comics. If you do web comics, the best theme is <a href="http://comicpress.org/" target="_blank">ComicPress</a> coupled with their ComicPress manager plugin.</p>
<p>So, now I have to learn ComicPress. While I&#8217;m doing that (and marveling at how bad the code is compared to Thesis &#8211; sorry, but it&#8217;s true), I&#8217;m also working on the strip itself and the design of the site. Add that to my work on <a href="http://www.thebigbookofspam.com" target="_blank">The Big Book of Spam</a>, <a href="http://www.danielmclark.com" target="_blank">my own blog</a>, <a href="http://www.kidsandcomics.com" target="_blank">Kids and Comics</a> and my <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/hecticstudios" target="_blank">Hectic Studios relaunch</a>&#8230; it&#8217;s a lot to do. Since <strong>Mediocre Web Comic</strong> is the newest thing, it gets lowest priority.</p>
<p>Still, I&#8217;m excited about it, so that&#8217;s motivation enough to get those other projects finished or caught up so I can do more here. I&#8217;m not going to give the standard &#8220;check back soon for updates!&#8221; line because let&#8217;s be honest, nobody is going to check back for updates. Instead, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/danielmclark" target="_blank">follow me on Twitter</a>, and I&#8217;ll <em>tell you</em> when there&#8217;s updates &#8211; along with news related to the aforementioned projects and my own inane ramblings.</p>
