Is this possible…?

Some questions:

1. Let's say I have two different strips I'm working on, and maybe some single-panel illustrations. I'd like to be able post comics or illustrations as they're done but assign them to one of these three categories.

Does stripShow allow multiple comic blog categories, or is there just one comic blog category and the rest are all non-comic blog categories?

2. Then, I'd like readers to be able to click on one of these three categories in the sidebar and see the latest comic post in that category, but when they hit "previous" they only cycle through the posts in that category. So if you're looking at strip 1 you stay in strip 1, if you're looking at strip 2 you stay in strip 2, if you're looking at the illustration gallery you stay in the illustration gallery, and so on.

Is this possible to arrange?

3. Does the storyline dropdown feature allow you to collect non-sequential posts under a story heading? Like, all the posts in strip 1 would fall under the Strip 1 heading, all the posts in strip 2 would fall under the Strip 2 heading, etc.  This is just another way of asking whether the storyline feature would help achieve what I'm looking for.

If this isn't possible to arrange in the default configuration, does anyone have an idea of how it might best be arranged (for example, can three different blogs be set up and have the comic posts be collected in a single site, perhaps each assigned to a different page in a site)?

Thanks in advance for any help!

(1) I see that the answer to question 1 above is yes. That's one of the differences between stripShow and Comicpress, that it allows multiple comic categories.

(2) My guess at this point is that the answer to question 2 is no, not without significant work under the hood.

But it would be a cool feature for a plugin, hint hint.

(3) My guess about number 3 is no as well, it only assigns headings to posts within a continuous date sequence. Is this right?

But once again, it would be a great feature to be able to manually assemble a sequence of posts and make them available as a group within the pulldown menu, so that when you start the sequence you can move through them in the order you prescribe.

Just a thought!

    While I don't maintain stripShow for a living, I wouldn't say no to a little donation, if you think the plugin is worth it...
