Q.: I would like to see a page dedicated to the listing of all comic cons for the year. It should include dates, commitment dates, costs, etc. You may want to also include cheap hotels/motels and dining.
It should also include how and when to get tickets (just in case you want to scout it out before you commit to an event, in order to get the feel of how they work).

As we roll through the third year of Webcomics.com, I wanted to take a moment to codify a few expectations for members of this community. That way, when new members join, I can simply point them to this post so they can see some of the DOs and DON’Ts that have been established here along the way. If you’re relatively new to the site, this will be a good review.

The Pew Charitable Trusts Center on the States has released a study on economic mobility in the United States. Among other things, it uses national earnings distribution and aggregate results from three mobility measures (absolute, upward and downward) to identify those states in which economic mobility is most distinct from the national average.

Q. We’ve already had the ten-minute InDesign layout article… But, what I’m looking for is a little more along the lines of odds and ends in making a book come across less amateur and more professional.
Tips on indicia information, including a table of contents and whether or not it’s really needed, extras like cast pages…
Strip commentary, too much or too little… is there a proper balance? Should you include it below the associated strips?
How much extra/premium content/stuff not included on the Web already… Is a six-to-nine-strip story worth pimping that you have exclusive never before seen material as a selling point?
So, I’m basically just looking for a little bit of an odds and ends “protip” style article on polishing a book design based on things you’ve figured out.
