Just wanted to let everyone know that there are more ways to discuss in the forums now.  I’ve added categories for sports and politics among other things.  The forums have been pretty quiet here since I began this comic on the web, but I’d like to get more discussion involved there.  So I encourage you to stop by, register, and discuss!

Also, I thought I’d add that visits to Seth and Buddy have steadily increased this month.  We’re up to over half of the visits we got last month, and we’re not even halfway through March yet!  If you enjoy the comic, please tell your friends about it.  In case you haven’t noticed, under every comic and blog post, there is a little link that says “Share This.” If you click on that, you can share comics and other entries on a number of different sites, including Facebook and Myspace.  So it’s really easy to share comics you enjoy.  And I hope that you both enjoy them and share them!

One more thing – if you use Safari or Chrome to browse this website, you may notice some problems here and there, particularly on other pages like the Archive.  I’m working on getting that fixed right now, so please be patient.  For some reason, you can’t just code your pages easily in a way that works with all browsers.  You have to code it in a very specific way so that every browser reads it properly.  If you’re reading in Firefox or Internet Explorer, there shouldn’t be a problem.  But if you do experience a problem, please contact me and let me know!

Just wanted to alert everyone to a Milestone acheived here at Seth and Buddy last month.  According to my server’s information, we reached just short of 1200 unique visitors last month – 1180 to be specific.  This is the first time the website has gotten more than 1000 unique visitors, so I’m pretty excited.  I hope that the visits will continue to grow, especially now that I will be updating three times a week.  For all of you who helped reach this milestone – THANK YOU.

If you’d like to help us reach further milestones, here’s one big thing you can do – TELL YOUR FRIENDS.   You can do this in a number of ways.  Word of mouth is always good.  Just tell them to visit sometime.  You can also send them links to the website or specific comics through Instant Message or otherwise.  Also, another great way is to use the “Share This” button beneath every comic.  Just click on that to share comics and other things around the website on places like Facebook, Myspace, and various other websites.  You can also join the Seth and Buddy facebook group!  And of course, you can buy merchandise over at the Seth and Buddy store and proclaim your love for the comic publicly.  All of these are great ways to share the joy of Seth and Buddy, and I thank you guys for doing what you have already.

Just wanted to give everyone an update as another milestone was met in April.  We officially had over 2,000 unique visitors to Seth and Buddy last month!  I’m very excited about this, since it was just in March that we finally got over 1,000.  That’s good news for us, and it means a couple of things.

First, it means that you guys are telling your friends, and it’s making a difference!  So if you enjoy the comic, please continue to tell your friends!  It really does make a difference.

Secondly, advertising is helping out.  I made some new ads last month and it looks like they helped draw some more people in.

Want to help Seth and Buddy grow even more?  Here’s what you can do:

Keep telling your friends about the comic!  You can link directly to it, or just click on the “share this” button below every comic and entry, which makes it easy to share with friends.

Donate.  Over at the left, beneath the comic, there is a button for donating.  If you enjoy the comic, donations are a great way to help it continue.  After all, there are a number of different bills behind this comic, from paying for hosting service, to advertising, to supplies for the comic.  Every little bit helps – even just a dollar or two is greatly appreciated!

Click the advertisments on this site.  When you visit websites that advertise here, it helps bring in more advertisers, which brings in money (however modest), which is in turn used to advertise this website more.

Purchase stuff.  Sometimes I might sell some original art, or there is always the Seth and Buddy shop (a link to which is on the right, beneath the comic).  You can buy t-shirts, mugs, and various other things that will allow you to always enjoy Seth and Buddy!

Thanks again so much for your support everyone.  It means the world to me that people enjoy my comic strip.  I have loved comics since I was just a kid, and the idea that I can bring the joy of it to others is a wonderful blessing!  Happy reading!

It’s about time for a new poll – and so here it is! Since it’s officially summer break for Seth and Buddy, I thought i’d make it this:

What’s your favorite thing about the summer?

For me, it’s gotta be baseball/softball.  I love watching baseball and playing it or softball – the best sport ever in my opinion.  But cookouts come in at a very close second!

I put up some of the main things I can think of, but if you have something different, I’d love to hear it – just add a comment to this post and say why!
