Looks like when I redid the navigation buttons I broke the crawler with the dreaded 'Pattern No Matching'

http://www.deverishalso.com

I finally got around to adding the  to the main page.

If you're using WordPress / ComicPress, here's how to add the Last Update code easly!

Login to your admin panel at
http://www.example.com/wp-admin/

Click on Appearance in the left side column

Then click on Editor under Appearance

Then in the right hand column, locate Main Index Template and click on that.

Copy and Paste this snippet code in front of all of the code already in the box:



Click Update File

Done!

This put the date of your last update in the first line of the source code on the front page of your site in the Day/Month/Year format.

I hope this helps out!

Hi

I have put the

 on the <head> section of main.

Do I need to submit a broken comic report now or will the crawler update it self from not check for update to normal ?

That's a very good question!

I also added the  using the above instructions which were very clear and easy to follow. But I've still got the "Pattern not matching" error after about a week...

I used the "submit a broken comic" link and got a quick reply. I found out that the above-mentioned code is slightly incorrect.

Instead of :


Use:


This gives a two-digit day code, and a four-digit year code, which is what the automatic update system apparently needs to work correctly.

You can use your browser's "View--> Page Source" on your current comics page, and the first line should look like:

How common is this "pattern not matching" thing? Should we check our TWCL listing every time e make a change to our sites? because "The Continentals" is now "pattern not matching" and apparently has been so fo quite awhile without my knowledge. Which sucks!

Yeah, apparently mine broke on the 17th or 18th--that's the last update that registered anyway, and the status is now "Pattern Not Matching," but I don't think I changed the pattern at all, and it still looks correct, ie just like my other comics, which are not broken. I've used the "report broken comic" to report it, so hopefully it'll get straightened back out.

So I have added the date code in UnCONventional (16618), but it's still showing up as "Pattern Not Matching" in TWCL.

Is there anything else I need to do to fix it?

I have Pattern Not Matching (?) On my page.

Comicgenesis has apparently changed its update engine, so maybe the crawler doesn't recognise the new code? I don't know, I'm not a HTML savvy person, but the comics have gone up every day so as far as I can tell it's not a problem on my end.

Same problem with Comic Genesis. I've attempted to fix the HTML, but so far have not had any success because I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm just reading these threads.

My comic shows up as 'Not Checked For Updates'. I only added it last week.

I followed the directions and added this code (), but it still says this. What do I do to fix this?

I did the whole  thing in my comicpress site, but when I click view Page source it says 
My last update was today 24/06/2010. I don't have to update the code manually every time do I?
