Noel Murray On Problems With Comics.com
posted November 16, 2008
 

You asked about the comics.com traffic, and I thought I'd share my experiences with the site since the re-design. Last week I had the bright idea to ditch my wonky comics aggregator (Comictastic, for the record) and go directly to the syndicate sites and see if I could RSS my favorites. I discovered that in order to sign up for RSS, I had to register with the site. When I tried to register, I was told I'd receive an e-mail and would have to click a link to confirm the registration. I checked my e-mail regularly over the next couple of days, to make sure that the message didn't get slotted as "junk," but nothing ever showed up.

So... back to Comictastic.
