Lifeblood will resume in January 2008.

And on a side note: I've finally done it! As you undoubtedly have noticed, the new Lifeblood layout is finally up and running (with an emphasis on "finally"). It took me about six months longer than I thought it would, but I finally finished it. Here are some additional thoughts:

-Yes, it's crowded. I know. It was re-designed with compatibility and ease of use in mind, and that means it has to fit most monitor displays and resolutions. The advertisements may come as a shock, too. Unfortunately, I need to generate some kind of income from this comic, and since it is a fancomic, ads are basically the only way to go. If it makes you feel any better, there's about a 50% chance of them being removed, anyway. It all depends on whether or not they serve their purpose (which is making me money). I'd appreciate some clicks, but don't feel obligated to do so. Feel free to fill one of the spots on top with an ad for your own webcomic, though! Those slots won't stay cheap forever (I hope). XD

- I had wanted to premiere this website over the weekend, so it wouldn't be so abrupt a transition for you all. But it turned out to be a matter of necessity: I'm leaving on vacation in two days, and won't have Dreamweaver where I'm going. So, try not to go into shell-shock, everyone. =3

- The loading time for this graphics-heavy page will be slow at first, but be patient. I've learned from my mistakes: the images are all DrunkDuck-hosted, rather than Photobucket-hosted. Even with all the ads, Lifeblood will now load much faster than before. I guarantee it.

- I have devoted months of time to conforming the first 15-odd issues to match the style of the newer ones. However, I'm only human, so if you happen to be browsing through one of my older issues and spot an oversize page, please tell me with a Private Quack. I will fix it straight away. =)

- The sidebar links are not ready yet (not completely, anyway), so they all lead to temporary "Under Construction" pages for now. Don't waste your time clicking through them if you don't have to. I'll get to them eventually, but until I do, you'll just have to be patient.

- Those of you with Internet Explorer may realize that the layout doesn't appear 100% correct in comparison to Firefox. I've done what I can, but unfortunately I'm not a Microsoft man (I'm a Mozilla man) so the bad news is that you'll just have to live with it. The good news is that functionality has not been affected, so Lifeblood will still function for you.

I hope you all enjoy!
