How to....

Join The Nice

We invite new members four times a year - in March, June, September, and December.  We don't accept applications, but if you feel that we are unaware of your comic, you can e-mail me with your name, URL, and any other information that you think will help us evaluate your comic. We don't send out rejection letters.

Get a Forum

These are only available to Nice members.  While there are a few forums held by non-members, those people were formally affiliated with The Nice when the forums were created. 
Any Nice member can get a forum by asking one of the forum admin - Terrence Marks , Tiffany Ross , or Patrick Schaefer.

 If you have a board and want to get it customized, notify one of the admin and they'll get it done.  Terrence generally does this.  Send along a title image and colour scheme.  You can give general directions (eg. "Make it red on white"), show me sample images or webpages, or draw a sample version out for us.  Or we'll just make it look like your regular webpage.

Add the Picturebox to your page.

The Picturebox is our main promotional tool. As you can see, it provides quick access to the main page, forums, and archives of our strips, along with an image and brief description of the strip itself.  It's updated three times a week, and a different comic is at the top of it on each update.  Only Nice members who have the Picturebox on their main page will be listed on it.  Pick one of the following four javascript codes, and add it to the HTML of your main page so that the picturebox is prominently displayed.  You can put the more pictureboxes elsewhere on your website as well, if you like. 

 Comics that inform us of a hiatus will be temporarily removed from the Picturebox until such time that they return. Those that do not inform us will be removed from the picturebox until they update regularly for two weeks. 
[Note: Only put one picturebox on a webpage.  Multiple pictureboxes will interfere with each other, which is why these don't work. There's a fully functional example at the bottom of the page.]
