Buttons are the special gift! Order a book between now and the end of April, and you get a free set of buttons!

Of course, if you want just the buttons themselves, they’re only $4.99! Perfect for pinning to a thing!

In either case, you want to go check out the store now.

The price is the same, and while shipping is less, ComiXpress charges Jersey’s 7% sales tax, so it actually ends up costing almost the same amount as if you bought the book directly from me (actually a few cents less).

The real benefit from me, though, is that if you buy the book from ComiXpress, I don’t have to ship it. So, if you’re not buying the Artist Edition and you want to save me a little time, feel free to order the book from ComiXpress.

I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO TELL YOU ALL WHAT THE FREE GIFT IS BUT I WILL TELL YOU ALL TOMORROW

A great, big thanks to everyone who weathered the wait — It was way too long for me, too. I feel ya.

To make up for the whole thing, everyone who ordered the book before will be receiving a special gift. Aww heck, better than that, everyone who orders a book before 11:59pm on April 30th will get a special gift. This applies to both Standard and Artist Editions.

What is that special gift? I’ll tell you all tomorrow!

That part has not changed.

It seems I jumped the gun a little, though. The books actually didn’t arrive at my home until last night, which would have been fine, had it not been for the fact that every single one was printed incorrectly. If I’d known this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have put them up for sale. Frick.

I’m in the process of trying to get this sorted out. In the mean time, you can still order the book, but I can’t say when your order will go out. I was all set to start sending orders out this weekend, but it looks like that won’t be happening now.

I’ll keep you all posted. I want this book just as much as you do.

It’s good to see yet another high profile creator make the leap. It can be complicated to work with at times, but if you just learn your PHP and CSS really well and remember that you can find the answer to any question you have in Wordpress’s documentation, it can be done!

I still really want to write that walkthrough of how I created Tee-mab’s site in Wordpress. Just need to find the time. Maybe I can work on it at my job.

Turns out my host is upgrading the box that TMABB.com is hosted on. The issue might crop up again while they’re working on it, but they say the upgrade should only take a couple more hours.
