So you want to produce a webcomic, and you've heard other creators rave about how WordPress is the way to go. But now you need a software package that can handle the drudgery of generating the blog posts and uploading the files, as well as keeping the whole thing automated. This is where stripShow comes in.
stripShow will allow the webcomic creator to upload his or her comics using a handy WordPress admin interface, create custom themes that incorporate comic-specific template tags to navigate between comics, group comics into hierarchical storylines, and even enter searchable transcripts of your comics to make finding particular strips easy.
stripShow is very simple. Each comic in stripShow is a blog post. Each comic post can be associated with one or more comic files, which can be graphics like GIF or JPEG, or even HTML or Flash files. In addition to posting comics, you can maintain a regular old blog using the same WordPress system.
