I keep forgetting what time I set my page to update to the next comic, and american time is hard to get used to. Is there any way to manually "ask" keenspace to upadte not only the index, which has my rant, but my image?<P>For my comic on the template, I use the ***today's comic*** tag. would putting an href to the day's comic when i update the indextemplate solve the problem?<P>also, does the keenspace autoupdater update comics even if they're several days apart? I plan on a weekly affair, and I was just wondering.<P>------------------

Autokeen updates whenever the comic is dated ... daily or sporadically or monthly. If you want to update before the automated time, go to <A HREF="http://members.keenspace.com/PDI/" TARGET=_blank>http://members.keenspace.com/PDI/</A> (except the last part will be your account name), give your password, and tell it to update.<P>Hope this helps!<P>Incidentally, Autokeen seems to be having indigestion today, so this may not work until it's been fixed, but I expect it soon.<P>------------------

Ok, thanks, but If I tell it to update, will it update the picture, too? I did that once, and It didn't update the pic for a few hours after the index page, with the rant was updated.<P>------------------

Updating the pic will depend on the -date- of the pic. As far as I can tell, Keenspace updates the HTML for the image name at the time you signed up for (in my case, midnight central standard time). Until then you can do updates as much as you want, and it will still only pull the comic from the current date.<P>If you are replacing one image with another of -the same date- and it's not updating... then I have no clue. ^_^;;<P>Martha (and cats)<P>StarCrossed Comics : 'Camera Angles', 'Beta Virs-ion', 'A Helping Hand' <A HREF="http://cameraangles.keenspace.com" TARGET=_blank>http://cameraangles.keenspace.com</A>
