Big changes afoot for Daily Cartoonist
Skip to comments
Beginning today, The Daily Cartoonists takes an evolutionary step toward fulfilling its place as THE news source for professional cartoonists. Up until now, the topics of the blog have been based on what I find interesting and more often than not what I have time to post. I have lamented that many worthwhile stories aren’t getting noticed because of my limited time. To remedy this and be more inclusive to other cartooning professions that haven’t been well represented here (magazine cartoons, animation, webcomics, greeting cards, illustrators and others), I am opening up the blog to you all – The Daily Cartoonist community.
By registering for an account on the blog, you will automatically be given the ability to submit news stories, book reviews, and discussion topics. Once registered, you can also post comments without having to fill out the comment form every time. The names of those who contribute to the blog will be listed on the homepage. A list of all their posts are also listed along with their bio (filled out upon registration), and their web address.
Another change is the use of “gravatars” on the blog. Gravatars or “Globally Recognized Avatars” are the little icons that you’ll see next to the name of the person who submits a blog post or makes a comment. You can create a gravatar for free over at gravatar.com. I HIGHLY encourage you all to go over and create one. To make it show up on TDC, simply use comment (or register) with the same email address as the one used over on gravatar.com.
Lastly, let me mention one thing. I am committed to maintaining the high quality of topics that you’ve come to expect here. All stories will be reviewed before going live, mostly to assure for issues of libel, accuracy, etc. Another post will review the how to submit a blog post.
Comments on this new change are welcome below. I’ll try to address any questions.
