I know what the correct answer to this question is (just host it yourself you cheap lazy old fucker) but does anyone have any experience with manipulating a free WordPress site into becoming an acceptable way to host a comic? My attempt is here http://vigilsforfriends.com/ and it works for me, but it's not the proper webcomic format with the buttons you expect and so on. I assume it puts people off and that's the reason I'm not rich and famous.

I've got 215 strips of my comic. Apart from one big arc in the middle, I do little stories of 20 strips. I know what the next one is, which takes me to 240, and have vague ideas for the one after that. I still love making the comic and my small number of readers seem to like it a lot. I don't have huge ambitions for it though, and I don't know how much longer I'll keep it up. Maybe it'll be a more occasional thing in the future. I'd like to keep going to 500 or 1000 but I won't force myself if the ideas aren't there.

I think about when I started and was knocking out multiple strips a day, compared to now. My art has improved a lot but that means they take a lot longer to do. To keep the spontaneous energy going I try to sketch and write each strip quite quickly, then go back and make it look 'good'.

This is a great hobby to have and it's by far the most committed I've ever been to a creative project. Also I've met nice people online. Webcomics are fun.
