If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, what’s been taking up all my time, why I haven’t been posting much, or what I’m doing to try to make money while I’m looking for a job…

HERE IT IS!

It’s the all-new, all-different “Comics Relief”, my site where I’m selling off my comic book collection. Thanks to Collectorz’s new comic book database, I’ve now gotten covers for almost all the comics in the collection. I’ve also changed the display from tiny little boxes to images large enough that you can see the covers without enlarging them. I also added “Plot” and “Notes” displayed in the list, moved the issue # and the price to a better position, and added navigation to both top and bottom of the page. I put a Shopping Cart button at the top of the site where you can always access it.

What’s even better is that the site now includes dozens of trade paperbacks that I’m selling, along with other books. I’ve also added DVDs for sale.

The advantage of that is that you can more easily pad your order to reach the $30 level, where I’m throwing in a free signed copy of Metro Med (supplies are getting low!), or the $75 level where I throw in signed copies of all my comics.

You may notice that the price levels dropped for the free giveaways. That’s true. The reason I did that is because it’s harder to reach that levels when I’ve cut the prices on thousands of comics.

My hope is that the better display, expanded inventory and lower prices will get the site hopping. Upcoming trips and holidays are going to require some cash and this is one of my few remaining sources of income. I hope you’ll check the site out and pass the link on to your friends.

Now that this is done, I’m going to work on my next Monitor Duty project.
