Adding more pages to your comic
There are many reasons for an author to want to have more pages on their comic. These extra pages can have all sorts of information on them, including (but not limited to) cast information, author information, links to favourite sites, background information and so on. Adding more pages is relatively simple.
The first thing to keep in mind is that all pages of your comic (including pages that don't have actual comics on them) must have the advertisment at the top of the page and the "hosted by Comic Genesis" message at the bottom. This is how you 'pay' for your free account.
Other than that, you can pretty much have anything.
One final note: the comic should be the bulk of the content on your account. You shouldn't have more story pages than comic pages since Comic Genesis is a comic host, not a book host.
How to add more pages
This process is fairly simple. First, decide what it is that you want on your new page. Once you've decided, follow this procedure:
- Create your html code for your new page. You can do this in your preferred software. Make sure that you include the Keentags that you want to use, including the one for the advertisement.
- Upload the html file(s) to the workspace/webpages folder of your account.
- Trigger a full update.
After the update runs, you should now see your new pages. By putting the html file into the workspace/webpages folder, the server will copy the file directly to the public_html folder.
As an example: let's say you've made a page called "bios.html" for the biographies of your characters. By uploading "bios.html" to the workspace/webpages folder you'll end up with a file which you access with the url http://comicname.comicgenesis.com/bios.html - note that you don't need to use "webpages" anywhere in the url.
Also, subpages are possible!
If you have a lot of extra pages you can organise them into additional folders. So if you create the folder "characters" in the webpages folder, the folder will carry over to the public_html side.
To illustrate: in the workspace/webpages folder you add the "characters" folder giving you workspace/webpages/characters. Any html files that you put into the characters folder will appear as http://comicname.comicgenesis.com/characters/filename.html on your site.
If you have any specific or general questions, pop into the Help Center and ask. There is usually someone around that can help.
