Many of us have considered building a website, whether to promote a business, stay in touch with family, or just share our thoughts with the world. Now the author-artist team of Nate Cooper and Kim Gee hope to make building a website a bit easier with their comic-filled “Build Your Own Website (http://tinyurl.com/mjm2nuk).
