I have finally finished my biggest website project ever. My baby. A year's work in the making: A social networking site to rival MySpace, Facebook, and other popular sites of this type.

Linktu.com

I need help from everyone to help me get this site launched and up and running. If you could be a pal and join Linktu.com (it's free just like MySpace & Facebook), upload just one photo, and use the INVITE page to send an invite to all your MySpace friends to join (you can send them all at once in bulk in seconds), that would be a huge help!

Linktu.com does just about everything MySpace does, plus it has many great features that MySpace doesn't, including:

* Live Chatrooms with webcam! See who you're talking to!

* Imageboard!

* Over 200 animated emoticons (smileys) to use in messages, comments, bulletins, blogs, forums, anywhere in the site!

* Upload audio/video from your webcam/microphone!

* Instant Messaging(IM)!

* Make and share your own polls!

* Less censorship & rules!

* With more amazing features coming soon!


Thanks so much for all your help!

my cartoon Howie & Herb's official website, howieandherb. com, has been revamped and restylized (is that a word?). Anyway, I hope you guys all like the simpler, more organized look I've adopted. I have updated all the links and made it FAR easier to find Howie & Herb all over the web.
As always, you will find the best quality of H&H cartoons at howieandherb. com, but it's also cool to see what's going on with other sites as well (there is lots of interesting feedback at YouTube, for example). I've also added the "Home" button which was mysteriously missing from the old site, making it difficult to return to, well, home, without having to hit the "back" button a few times. There is a forum on there now, and probably the best new page is the "news" page, which I will post all my blogs and keep all Howie & Herb's friends and fans updated. Before today, to find this information, you had to either read through all the forums, or hit me up personally on DeviantART or MySpace or something. Now all your Howie & Herb needs and info are right there in one place, right where it belongs.

At first, the main reason I decided to change the site was simply to make a change from Flash to CSS programming (forgive the nerdy web programmer speak). When I designed and set up the original site, I knew basically nothing about web design. Now, I'm a few years into web design and have designed, own and operate 20+ websites. And if you want your website to show up at Google search engines and things like that and get loads of traffic, then you can't make your site in flash. You need to make it in HTML, CSS, PHP or something. Redoing this site in CSS will also make my advertisements more relevant to my target demographic, and hopefully will generate a little extra income to fund the cartoon.

work has begun on Episode 2 but progress has been very slow. I've been swamped with my other projects. My contracting company and websites are starting to take off and generate income and I am forced to spend more time with them right now. Thanks to all my Howie & Herb fans and I promise to let you guys know just as soon as there is something new to report.


Thanks

Mad Rob
