The 3-Column version of Tyler Martin’s Comicpress theme for Wordpress is now available for download! Please note that this is a version I modified myself, and as I am not an expert in PHP or CSS coding, there might still be some bugs in the theme which I may or may not be able to fix. This version has two sidebars, one on the left and one on the right, which are both widget ready. Please note that for some reason, the “Latest Comics” widget does screws up the layout when placed on the left sidebar so I strongly advice not to place it on the left sidebar (or not use it at all). If you have a suggestion on how I can fix this, do let me know. You can download the theme at the “Downloads” page of this site.

If you already have a webcomic and looking forward to publishing it on your own site but have little experience in making websites, then Wordpress and Comicpress are the tools for you.

Before discovering Wordpress and Comicpress, I looked at all the other webcomic publishing tools on the internet and a lot of them were too complicated for my taste. I didn’t like the free comic hosts available because I really wanted a website with my own design. I wanted a system that made it easy for me to publish my comics while not having to write a lot of code.

And then came Comicpress. I’ve already been a big fan of Wordpress even before I wanted to use it as a comic publishing tool so when I found out that I can easily publish my comics using Tyler Martin’s theme I immediately wanted to try it out. It wasn’t until last year, though (when I started Draw Write Play), that I actually started using it.
