.Mac Integration
Comic Life has great support for .Mac users. Within Comic Life you can publish your comics to your .Mac account and make them easily available to family, friends and/or fans. Comic Life creates a stylish layout of your comic
where visitors can click on thumbnails to read in a popup window with page controls for easy stepping the pages of your comic.
Publishing to .Mac
To publish your comic on your .Mac homepage all you need to do is load up the comic in Comic Life and choose File->Publish to .Mac. The following sheet is presented where you can specify the name to give the comic and the quality of the JPEG images posted as well as a frame that will be shown around your comic.
Once you click OK Comic Life proceeds to render the necessary JPEGs and then upload all the files necessary to display your comic. The main index.html is generated and (if this is not the first comic you've published) the new comic is moved to be the first comic on display.
Once complete you are presented with a sheet that has various options.
Clicking on Open in Browser opens the homepage in your preferred browser. Send email automatically creates an email with a link to your site. The URL shown in the dialog is also selectable if you want to copy/paste it into another location.
Managing your .Mac Comics
After you've posted a few comics to your page you'll probably want to begin to remove some of the older ones. You might also want a different name for your homepage than the default.
You can do both of these things within Comic Life. Choose File->Manage .Mac Comics to bring up the Comic Manager. The simple interface hides some sophisticated features. With this interface you can reorder comics, delete and rename them as well as change the name of your home page.
None of the changes take effect until you click on the Apply button.
To reorder comics simply drag the comics up and down the list:
1.
2.
To delete a comic check the box next to the comic in the table.
You can retitle your comic homepage by typing in a new name at the top of the dialog.
When you're happy with your changes click on the "Apply" button to update .Mac.
You're done!
