So, ideally, I'd love the comic page to look like this:

So, so far I've tried two programs.

BtPHP

BtPHP was the client I used for some time, it's pretty much fit for purpose, but annoyingly it doesn't seem at all able to do a couple of the things. It can't center the image in any way, we tried for some time and it just doesn't work. We also can't find a way to edit the links, the news page always misformats, and the archive will only display as an annoying calendar format.

ComicPress

Comicpress is the current format we're using. I've read a few webcomics that use it as a system, and it seems to cover all of the features - although I've never seen a comicpress comic that didn't have a huge pile of extra crap surrounding the content. Unfortunately, the current state of affairs is that comicpress rejects all files I give it as having "invalid filenames" - I have no idea why... maybe .jpg isn't an image format in it's crazy logic? - anyway, there are over a million options, and none of them seem helpful.


So, basically I'm still hunting for a solution. This is a really simple layout, so it should be possible to get this working pretty quickly, but at the moment there's still no comic.
