Welcome? This is a new web storybook project that I’m calling Cold Bill. The website’s layout is based on ComicPress, a very useful plugin and set of themes for WordPress. I’ve spent the last couple of days modifying a theme to look and work the way I want, and I am hopeful that nothing really terrible happens now that it’s up and running.

I already have the content ready to be posted this first week. The first couple of weeks or so will be format experimentation as I try to get into the habit of making images and figure out what works and what doesn’t. I’m still teaching myself this ‘cut paper’ style, so quality might go up and down for a bit.

It is the intent of having a new image and story piece posted 3-5 times a week. I will have to see how long it takes to put one together at the end of each day, though ideally there will be a new one either every weekday or every two days. This first week there will be one posted each day Tuesday-Thursday(since the first one is up now), with a possible Friday and Saturday post. The week after that I should have a better idea of how many I can reliably pull off in a week. Consistency is my priority right now.

I haven’t really seen many “web storybooks”(for lack of a better term), so I don’t know if many people will find it especially interesting. If not, it will still be a good regular creative exercise for me. I’ll just have to see how it goes.
