The migration of Monkey Law

By Brad | Published: January 24, 2013

To see how stripShow 3 does in the wild, I’ve upgraded my hoary old webcomic Monkey Law to stripShow 3.0a3! What did I find? Not too much in the way of problems. My theme had a width set on one of the sidebars that got broken by something in stripShow Sandbox. I removed it. There [...]

stripShow development resumes!

By Brad | Published: January 23, 2013

I have decided, based on user responses, not to let stripShow die! I’m currently fumbling my way around the code that makes up the project — some of which is ten years old — to regain my bearings. I have done a little bug fixing lately, including making stripShow work with posts marked “private” — [...]

Is stripShow dead?

By Brad | Published: August 8, 2012

I know it’s a provocative title, and a question that any stripShow user would be justified in asking. After all, it’s been years since the last version was released. This is of course all my fault; I have not had time or inclination in the past few months to devote any effort to stripShow at [...]

Current state of stripShow

By Brad | Published: May 6, 2011

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know what’s going on with stripShow at the moment. I know it’s been a while, and 3.0 is way overdue. I’ve been very busy and have not had a lot of time to work on it. However, the project is not dead. 3.0 is almost ready, and [...]

New arrow sets

By Brad | Published: March 1, 2011

stripShow user Phillip Wright has created a few new sets of arrows for AutoComic, and has been good enough to share them with us. Each set is in several different colors to match your design. Check ‘em out! If you wish to use them, they go in wp-content/plugins/stripshow/iconsets.

Recent releases of stripShow

By Brad | Published: October 6, 2010

Just a quick note to update you on some recent minor releases to stripShow: 2.5.1 I was made aware of an issue which prevented AutoComic from being used on non-English sites. The tooltips that appear when you mouse over the navigation arrows couldn’t use non-Western characters. So that left out, oh, most of the world. [...]

stripShow Wiki

By Brad | Published: August 5, 2010

I’ve created a brand new wiki to serve as stripShow’s documentation. I figured a PDF file simply isn’t the best way to document such a robust and changing piece of software. Plus, there’s the fact that all of you get to help! I know I’m not the best writer of documentation. Maybe someone out there [...]

I’m pleased to announce the release of version 2.5 of stripShow, the all-in-one webcomics solution for WordPress! Version 2.5 features AutoComic, allowing webcomics creators to use virtually any WordPress theme, not just themes designed specifically for webcomics. Thanks to the magic of JavaScript, you can mix comics with your regular blog and still take advantage [...]

2.5 beta 1 and AutoComic

By Brad | Published: February 12, 2010

So I’ve released a beta of 2.5 — don’t install it on a production server, all the usual beta warnings, etc. One feature that I’m excited about in 2.5, that I didn’t mention in the previous post, is called “AutoComic,” and I thought I’d take a moment to share a little information about it. One [...]

What I’m working on for 2.5

By Brad | Published: January 27, 2010

Hi, everyone. stripShow 2.5 is nearing completion, and I thought I’d update you on what I’m working on. These are some new features: The Add Comics page is going away. This is a part of my ongoing project to integrate more tightly with WordPress. Now, you can set comic options, upload comics, etc., from the [...]
