If you have web-fu and space it's *still* easier to use a blog for diary like entries. (You can blog from any computer with a web connection). Blogs which I read on a regular basis:

http://www.warrenellis.com
http://felbers.net/mt/
http://www.tcj.com/journalista/ (although it's stopped posting owing to the shutting down of the comics journal) but it has a list of other comic artist/writers blogs.

It's a web-log (weBLOG, or just blog). Basically it's a diary which you post to as frequently as you like. You can easily upload pictures and link to other sites with pretty much no knowledge of web-fu at all.

I've had a blog for about uhm... three years or so. Is it worth the effort? depends on what you expect out of it, I started it cus I wanted to work in comics and figured a website would be good but I needed something I could update easily. Now I tend to post what I'm doing as I'm doing it. Or not. Depending. I like having a blog, but at some point I'll probably have to kill it as I get more and more comic work.

It's a Dredd clone - finally Gordon does what the people have been crying out for and makes one of the Dredd clones evil! Well done Gordon!

Cought the tale end of 'pm' on radio 4, the last question the interviewer asked was 'are you going to cancel Dr Who again?". Grade laughed, said that when he cancelled it before the governors had gone mad, but the governors (him included) have no saying in what's commisioned and cancelled and that he was happy  as long as he doesn't have to watch it.

Out of curiousity, now that this material has appeared online (and is available to read for free) how many people would *still* go out and buy a printed copy?

I would.

Bush Cheney, even with hundreds of millions of dollars at our disposal we still don't know how to correct the apostrophe in desktop publishing software.

Good grief, for a while there I thought we were playing 'which 2000ad character looks like your scrotum" But I see the word is scrotnig.
