			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In case you missed it, Messenger updated last night! I always hate leaving up a cover page at the beginning of a chapter because it seems like I&#8217;m &#8220;cheating&#8221; and skipping a real comic. But at the same time, I want people to <i>see</i> them before the new pages go up. It&#8217;s a struggle. :B</p>
<p>Not much else to report for the moment, other than I&#8217;ve utilized <a href="http://webcomic.maikeruon.com">Webcomic&#8217;s</a> neato archiving feature to organize the <a href="http://www.messenger-comic.com/archive/">Archives</a> exactly the way I&#8217;ve wanted them to look since FOREVER. It never made sense to organize them by date, so now they&#8217;re organized by chapters, instead. (If it seems like I&#8217;m totally playing up the Webcomic thing, that&#8217;s because I am. It is fantastic!) </p>
<p>You might also notice that they&#8217;re <i>also</i> divided under a big new heading that says &#8220;Part 1.&#8221; That&#8217;s because I&#8217;ve finally settled once and for all on how I&#8217;m dividing up the story! Part 1 will run through the end of Chapter 10, at which point things will <i>really</i> start to turn. At some point I&#8217;ll throw in the title and so on, but I&#8217;m not quite there, yet. That&#8217;s quite some time from now, so no point in giving things away so soon. ;) </p>
<p>The past couple of weeks have been full of stuff related to new-house-issues and other time consuming things, so I&#8217;ve hit the end of my buffer and book work has slowed to a minor halt. This week will include putting together the next few weeks&#8217; pages and then digging back into the book. I&#8217;ve got about half the pages at least inked, most are completely done. I have a lot of the written stuff done, but I need to draw the accompanying illustrations. Things to do. </p>
<p>In other quick notes, my friend Arby is rebooting her webcomic, <a href="http://grayling.arborwin.com">Grayling</a>! It just started yesterday, so even though there&#8217;s not much available yet, you should check it out. She&#8217;s also going to be putting out a print version soon, so you can read the new stuff before it hits the internet. And speaking of that, I put together an ad that&#8217;s going in it somewhere! I spent far too long making it, but it&#8217;ll do. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bugbyte/4702456444/" title="messenger ad by BugByte, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4044/4702456444_cc3087f14e.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="messenger ad" /></a></p>
<p>That&#8217;s all for now! Have a great rest of the week, and come back Monday for a new page! :) </p>

While there&#8217;s no new page today, there are a few other small things around the site that may or may not be interesting or useful.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey all, just another mini-update that I meant to include last night with the new page, except I was dead tired and just didn&#8217;t feel like writing it. I am lazy. While there&#8217;s no new page today, there are a few other small things around the site that may or may not be interesting or useful. You decide!</p>
<p>* It&#8217;s nearing the end of January, which means that a whole new month of voting is about to begin! If you have a second or two, I&#8217;d really appreciate a vote! Voting takes two clicks and helps expose the comic to new readers! Help me out! <3 There's even a new drawing there if you click all the way through. I have plans for new February incentives, as well!</p>
<p><a href='http://topwebcomics.com/vote/8993/default.aspx' title='Vote for [messenger] on TopWebComics!'><img src='http://topwebcomics.com/images/voteimages/linklogo4.png'></a></p>
<p>* The <a href="http://http://www.messenger-comic.com/about/story-guide/">Story Guide</a> has been updated to include the conclusion of Chapter Six and the start of Chapter Seven. This is just a running synopsis of the story chapter by chapter for anyone who wants to check up on something without having to re-read the ENTIRE thing. Not that it&#8217;s that long. Although I am coming up on 200 pages. :o </p>
<p>* You can now <a href="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=messengercomic&#038;loc=en_US">subscribe to Messenger updates via e-mail </a>in addition to RSS. Signing up for updates will send along the latest new stuff from the site. <i>(Also, because I like to know this stuff when I sign up for things, your e-mail is only used for this subscription and won&#8217;t be resold or passed on to anyone else.)</i></p>
<p>* In other miscellany, I&#8217;ve been working on adding more useful tags to each comic page for quick reference, as well as transcriptions to make it more searchable. I&#8217;m trying to prepare for the day when I have a huge archive to flip through. One day! ;o;</p>
<p>* I&#8217;ve taken down the fall donation wallpaper, so if you missed out on it, sorry! I plan on doing another one eventually. Maybe this spring. </p>
<p>In short, there will be a new page Sunday night/Monday morning, because that&#8217;s all anyone really cares about, anyway. :B </p>
