WordPress gaves us the ability to include custom metadata in posts. stripShow makes use of this metadata in several ways. We've already seen how you can use metadata to specify custom comic files. There are several other custom fields which can be used:
Anything placed in this field will show up in the ALT attribute of your comic images. It is also placed in the TITLE attribute, causing this text to appear as a tooltip when the reader hovers over the image with his or her mouse. Some comics (such as xkcd) make extensive use of tooltips to provide additional information about the comics. While WordPress-based comics have a whole blog entry to serve that purpose, some may also wish to use tooltips.
Not all webcomics are family-friendly, and not all are acceptable at the average workplace. If you decide that one of your comics might be objectionable, and could get someone in trouble if viewed on a work computer, you can cover it with an alternate image. By adding the nsfw (Not Safe For Work) meta field to your comic, you can specify a filename to lay over the comic image. To read the real comic, the reader can click on the cover image. The filename you specify must exist in the same folder as your other comic files.
