Note that the URL at the bottom is to mangapunk.com/rachel. This was from back when I used to run mangapunk.com, my first “big site.” I built it with Drupal as a place for cool people who read my comics and other manga to hang out. I turned it into a publishing brand, too, with the intention of one day publishing more than just my own comics. That day did not come, but little did I know that those HTML/PHP skills of mine would turn into a real job with real money. Funny how life turns out, isn’t it?
