So I have a new goal for Nineteen-Ninety-Something. Instead of trying to sell it to a syndicate, I’m gonna go the self-publish route. My ideal goal is to have a website for it up and running by January. But there’s a hurdle I have to get over first – I have no website-running experience of my own.
I don’t want to use a site like SmackJeeves or anything like that where a million other people post their comics, because I’m more likely to get lost in the shuffle in a place like that. I want my own independent site, ideally one where people can leave comments and stuff. And also one where I can schedule the strips to update automatically, so I won’t have to worry about posting every day (I have a day job, after all). But I have no knowledge of writing HTML or anything like that, so I’d have to use a template or something. There’s a lot of folks around here who have their own webcomic sites – does anyone have any advice on what I should do?

Nineteen-Ninety-Something on Teespring!
Guess whose webcomic finally has a merch store? Mine! :D https://teespring.com/stores/nineteenninetysomething It's very basic so far, just a few shirts to start, but you know me, I'm always on the lookout for feedback. What other kinds of merch would you, my loyal readers, want to have? Which characters would you proudly wear across your chest? Let me know, and I'll start a-designin' right away! :)
The Nineteen-Ninety-Something Archive
It's been a long time coming, but I'm over two months into the new continuity of Nineteen-Ninety-Something and it's time to clean house. I'm going to begin deleting the old strips from my website.
But, like I mentioned before, I don't want to deprive readers who still want to read them. I was thinking of selling the old archive as a zip file, perhaps through my Patreon as a new tier, but I'm not the most tech-savvy guy in the world and I need some tips on how to put a zip file together and so forth. Anyone got any suggestions?
Patreon! At Long Last!
I want 2020 to be all about personal change, and that starts with charging ahead with projects I've been neglecting for too long. Hey, here's one to start - the Nineteen-Ninety-Something Patreon page is finally live! :D
https://www.patreon.com/nineteenninetysomething
For just $1 a month, you can gain early access to the rough versions of the Sunday strips four weeks before they go up on the site! And once I get enough patrons, I'll start putting together the very first real tangible Nineteen-Ninety-Something book collection that YOU can purchase and take anywhere!
Also, watch this space for forthcoming announcements of merchandise! It's al
Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot
What better way to ring in the 2020s than by going back to the 1990s? It's almost here, folks - http://1990somethingcomic.com starts funky-fresh on January 1 with a kinder, gentler new continuity! I'm having a lot of fun with this new version of the series, and I hope you all do too :D
Now, the only issue that remains is what to do with the old continuity. I've had a few people say to me "please don't delete the old strips, I still want to read them." But the purpose of starting over is to have a more pleasant replacement for those dark and gritty strips that don't reflect my creative desires. So I do want to get rid of them eventually. As o
