I recently broke my kneecap and had to have corrective surgery, and am looking for some guest comics to fill in some space, aside from last week I have been steadily a daily comic for a few months now and want to keep it going.

If the turn out is good I am tossing around the idea of making it a permanent thing, opening a guest page on my site.

let me know if you are interested, could be good exposure for your comic, or if you don't have a site could be fun to get your work online for free.

contact me at admin@yellowtangent.com for info

thanks for you help

Right, you didn't ask for a critique of your webdesign, but I'm afraid I feel compelled to give one here.

OK, I don't know if it's just me, or just Firefox or wherever, but I go to www.yellowtangent.com and I can't see any comics, nor are there any links I can click.

Also it should be "What's your tangent" not "Whats your tangent"

EDIT:
OK, after typing that, I realised how to get the comics. But it's not obvious (the mouse does not change to a finger when hovering over the world "Webcomic", so I initially assumed it was not a link). Comic really needs to be on the front page.

EDIT 2:
PLEASE learn how to use apostrophes! This has come up in three of your last four comics. These errors seriously distract from the message your trying to convey. Case in point, you are currently thinking about my inappropriate use of "your" in the previous sentence right now.

Thanks for the input, this calls for some changes!

any other thought or ideas that might make the site flow better?

Well, aside from not having the comic on the front page (which is as big a sin as any webcomic site developer can do, really) the other thing that bugs me is your comments. Why default them to hidden? Sometimes I like to see if other people have said things, sometimes I like to say things myself... but I, like a significant number of webcomic readers, am essentially lazy. If you make us jump through hoops - clicking here and there to access functions that most people put up front - we simply won't bother. We won't say anything is wrong, we'll just leave and never come back.

That said, I might be able to throw some guest something your way.

good call on the comment thread, I actually just put that up yesterday and was keeping it hidden until I had Disqus working properly. I will change that as soon as I am confident its working properly.

as far as the no comic on the main page goes.. I realize its a big not to do.. but.... as I keep developing its going to be more than just my comic, so I wanted the index page to be what it is.. (although during typing this out... I have an idea I may implement)

the comic.php page holds all navigation functionality and can hold its own along with the below links

https://www.yellowtangent.com/comic.php -and-
https://www.yellowtangent.com/comic.php?c=n - will always be the newest
https://www.yellowtangent.com/comic.php?c=r - will pull a random comic

any other advice, what about the layout on the comic page? I'm not sure I like it.
