Sorry, but I was just wondering how you guys post your comics/mangas up here to read? I don't understand what uploading is and I don't have my own site so I can't provide a link or anything like that. Thanks.

There are plenty of people that could help you more than I could, I'm sure, but I'll tell you what I know:

First, you need webspace on a server (http://www.geocities.com, for example although there are better ones)

Second, you need to build a website for the manga.

Third, you need to upload both the website files and the manga files to the webspace. On something like geocities, you don't need a special program to do this, but many webservers require that you use an FTP program, which is something that gets the files to the webspace.

Hope that was somewhat of a help!

http://www.bravehost.com is great free website provider that allows alot of freedom when constructing your website. It allows makes uploading images pretty quick and painless. As well, it has a website construction program on the site which allows you to put a sit eup fast and then after you get some experience with it; allows you to go on your own and create your own templates and such.

Most of those who have webmanga's up provide it through a website.

Would it be possible just to upload attachments to a thread in this forum? I think that would be easier for me but I'm not sure about other people...

It is fairly self-explanatory, actually. Follow his link and the website will provide most of the details you require.

There are a number of members, notably Scribs, who do simply attach each of their strips/pages to a given thread.

So, which in your opinion would be easier. I think that attaching would be because I don't think I'm old enough to be making my own website. Maybe when I'm older...

For the moment, yes, attaching is probably easier.
