I’ve decided to move my Comic Book Lettering portfolio to a new site that is dedicated to just comics and lettering. It’s still in the works as I’m setting the site up with all kinds of coolness and features. Of course I’m using Squarespace to host the site. I wanted to give everyone a heads up on this.
Above is a preliminary design for the comic book lettering logo.
I decided to switch from using Gmail as my email interface to Apple Mail. One advantage to Mail is that you can create CSS email signatures that (should) look the same from email client to email client. I’ve not fully tested these signatures in a ton of email clients but I did base these off the tutorial from Melvin Rivera’s blog, All Forces.
The signatures will automatically apply themselves to an email based on the active email account I’m using to reply to an email or to create a new email. Below are screenshots of my new signatures:

Kris Black Digital Studio Signature
Gmail Signature
Dollar Bin Signature
MobileMe Signature
As you can guess from the Squarespace link over on the right I’m a HUGE fan of Squarespace. So much so, that I swear by it and have moved all of my Web sites that I manage to them. Check out this awesome commercial made by the CO-OP guys over at Revision3.
If you want to give Squarespace a try go ahead and get you a FREE 14-day trial. Squarespace is so cool you don’t even need a credit card to use the trial.
CO-OP Revision3 Squarespace Thursday, March 15, 2007 ... 2 Comments I love Dreamhost.com and the excellent hosting and support they provide. I also love SquareSpace.com, an awesome hosted blogging/content management system (CMS) with tons of features.
SquareSpace doesn’t offer the option to register a domain with their system so you have to find a registrar that’ll allow you to buy a domain name and then modify the DNS records to point your domain to SquareSpace. Dreamhost allows the modification of your domain’s DNS record.
Before you modifiy your DNS settings you need to delete the user associated with your domain. This just tells Dreamhost’s servers that your domain is not hosted with them, see Figure 1.
To modify your DNS settings click on the DNS link below your domain name in your Manage Domains area of the control panel, see Figure 2.
SquareSpace specifies that you create a CNAME record that points to www.squarespace.com. Make sure to add the “www” in the CNAME record, see Figure 3.
After you have done the above, log in to your SquareSpace account and activate the Domain Mapping feature.
