In a few weeks my FRIK website will be going away as the comic is coming to an end. In the meantime I’ve been moving content over from there to here so I don’t lose it. You may find that this site evolves a little bit over the course of the next couple of weeks. Also the Theme change caused a couple of things to break, so I’ll be fixing those as well.

I am extremely picky when it comes to what WordPress theme I use. Being an artist and a designer can do that to you, and for the past week I’ve been trying to find a new theme. The problem is I hate everything I see out there. I picked this current theme because it didn’t look like all the other themes and stood out. There’s a very cookie cutter approach to a lot of the themes on the net, even ones you pay for. Heck, I probably spent a few days looking before I stumbled upon this one.

The problem is, I didn’t realize this theme is not search engine friendly. None of my posts get seen by search engines. Sadly, I didn’t know this till after using the theme for two years. As my Frik comic comes to an end, I am merging that site into this one in June. This means all my “how to” articles will transfer over here, and I don’t want them to get thrown into the abyss that is “unsearchable posts” land.

So expect a theme change in the next week or so. Most likely what I’ll end up doing is using the theme my comics use, with a few modifications. It’s simple and clean and does everything I need. It’s no where near as fancy as this current one, but I have no choice but to change it.

EDIT: The latest WP update that came out today actually killed my theme somehow. This means instead of the revised look happening in a couple of weeks, it happened today. Things will be a little messy for the next few days as I get this all sorted out, thanks!

Today is a bittersweet day for me. I just completed episode #100 of my comic, Frik, and I’m happy and sad all at the same time. I still have a lot of work prepping everything for print, but as far as the creation part of this goes, it’s all over.

I hope you have been keeping up with the current episodes these last couple of months. There are only FIVE episodes left and that’s it! There will be no more new episodes after this. Hurry to the FRIK website to catch up on the latest before the new ones go live. Check back each Monday for the new ones!

I have been giving clues throughout the run of this latest volume that tells you what will happen in the final episode, so I hope you’ve been paying attention!

I’m working on the last handful of episodes for Frik Volume 4 and I am quite pleased with how I will end this comic. People who pay attention to the details will notice hints that lead up to the ending. Can’t wait to hear the responses to it, although given the history from the past 5 years that means barely anyone will respond, much less notice, lol.
