A Distant Soil: The Gathering Page 2
Just to get things going, we’ll be posting new pages daily for the next week or so. Then three times a week thereafter. Check back and please be sure to visit our fine sponsors, who bring us the shekels that produce the comic pages.

Woo hoo! I’m the first poster since it’s gone *officially* live!
Colleen- I have a few more original pages for you to borrow and scan, which belong to my friend Sharon. Should I bring them to NY Comic Con with me?
Colleen
That would be AWESOME!!!
Colleen
By the way, howzabout I just bring the books you ordered to NYC?
Allan
Here we go again. Isn’t this decor lovely?
Colleen
Every time I see one of those funky ads, I giggle a bit. Some of them are very funny next to my comic pages.
I love the new look of the place. I am so grateful to DC!
Please be sure to tell all your friends about the new site.
Colleen
By the way, you can add your own avatars, now.
SueMc
That would be great if you brought my books to NYCC! I’ll be there all day on Saturday. No crazy Japanese pop star booth for me this year…
Colleen
Yeah, I’ll just bring them with me. I assume you are still go for Volume II with Aeren in it. I can have that there, too.

Yay! New site up and rockin’!

Hey, nice place you got here! So now that we’re going to have ADS on a regualr basis, how long will it be until the end? The latest issue is #39, but what number will the last issue be?
scribblerworks
Wait a minute! You say we can add our own avatars … but where? I’m not seeing the instructions for that. (Although these abstract design thingees are interesting.)
Colleen
Hey scribbler. If you have a custom avatar from your own site, it will automatically show up here. I don’t know how to enable them otherwise. I can fiddle with some buttons and see what happens.
I think we have about 8 issues of the comic left.
Colleen
Ugh, I get some really ugly little cartoon avatars from my site. These are the prettiest. Otherwise, you need to have your own WordPress blog avatar.
DC’s pic is showing up on her post.
Colleen
And BTW, we are still having trouble with some of the features of the site, but that won’t interfere with our blogging for just now. I just can’t upload any images to blog posts at the moment.
However, this doesn’t interfere with loading the comics pages. I’ve already loaded the pages through next week and they will post automatically.

Re: avatars: you can either upload an avatar to your login for this site, or you can use a gravitar (http://en.gravatar.com/) which attaches to your email and follows you to whatever site you go to! And you can change it whenever!
Allan
I can’t see any place nor mechanism for uploading an image on the dashboard or on my profile page.
SueMc
Hi Colleen- yes- I’m still go for #2 with Aeren in it, so can you please bring it along as well? Thanks!
Colleen
Wow, kids, check out that gravatar link. That was super easy. I had no trouble. Took about five minutes. All you need is an email address and an image you want to use.
dcm
Allan: oops, I guess they took that out, but you can still go to en.gravatar.com, and make one!
Allan
Done and done.
scribblerworks
Ha. I went the gravatar route. And my “Kilroy was here” avatar. Heh.
Jeremy_A
The site is looking great, all hail Butterbear!
Colleen
Allan, your gravatar cracks me up!

Must have been a glitch, Maria, because I’m seeing it.

The doctor there looks like Doc from G.I. Joe.
Colleen Doran
Ha! Never noticed that before.
