Friday Archive Dive: Customizing your Navigation Buttons

Today’s Archive Dive dates back to Aug. 5, 2013, when we discussed a step-by-step tutorial on customizing the navigation buttons on your site.

It’s no secret. I despise some of the default navigation buttons that are included with webcomic CMS packages. The ones (as seen on the right) that come with ComicsPress are especially high on this list.

Personal aesthetics aside, using the default buttons kinda makes your site look like every other webcomic. It labels you as generic. Making your navigation buttons fit the look of your Web site is the first step towards separating yourself from the pack.

Although these instructions are written with Comic Easel in mind, I’m assured that the instructions are directly transferable to ComicsPress users.
