The readers have spoken! We published a survey last month that let Kickstand Club members vote about the future of the Kickstand Cyclery’s website and the results are in:
70% of respondents wanted to make the site free and open to everyone in order to keep four years of comments.
So we redesigned the site using WordPress, imported all of the comments (from the older system that is no longer supported and has been broken for years), and added a bunch of new features. Now you can search for comics, rate comics, read random comics, view a month’s worth of strips at one time, and more.
Kickstand Club members will still see discounts with the new Yehuda Moon, Volume 5 Kickstarter project (in October). Kickstand Club members can still log in (at the bottom right of each screen)! Right now, this is helpful is you’d like to customize your profile, create an avatar, or remain logged in when you make comments.
Please let us know what you think of the new website. As we have just launched, we’re most concerned if you experience errors. Tell us if you find anything wrong that we can fix.
Now that the site will be open and available to all, we encourage everyone to rate the strip, share the strip, and continue to support the strip. Without you there is no Kickstand Cyclery.
All the best,
Rick Smith and Brian Griggs
‘Let us know what you think’ goes nowhere at the moment on my Win7/IE8 system.
Thank you! Bad links now work -
I like the new site and hope that Kickstand Comics keeps on surviving as I really enjoy reading it.
I tried to login at the bottom with my old login and it didn’t work.
Write us using the link at the top of the page with your email and we’ll get you logged in!
Thanks! I sent a message. I don’t remember if my login was Innes or bluenosebearca.
HOW SHOCKING – you stay away for barely one weekend, and suddenly everything is changed…
Well, it’s not for the worse, it’s like a little fresh air into the Kickstand – Store front redecorated – and I’ll get used to it. Keep it going! Thumbs up, and greetings from Germany. Martin
Thanks Rick, I like the new ‘site, simple and responsive.
I’ll take this opportunity to thank you guys for carrying on with Yehuda when it was obviously getting too much when mixed with family like, I appreciate it greatly – Kudos!
The survey results and signature images are broken as at 6:44am MDT. I’m on an iPad if that matters.
Thank you! Fixed.
I can’t log in. It says I don’t exist.
You’ll need to use the email and password you used to sign up as a Kickstand Club member.
I like the new website. Is there still a way to support you like it was possible with the Kickstand Club? I would for example renew my membership next year.
The new site looks great! Unfortunately, I’m still 3 years behind and was catching up via archivebinge.net and my feed from there seems to be broken. If they contact you for permission to update their feed, please allow it. I love my daily doses of Yehuda.
I love the site and I love your work. I still want to contribute to you in, like, a form of membership or something, with membership fees, similar to what Chris said.
I still want to contribute too!
To all who would like to continue (or begin) contributing:

Did the RSS feed change? Nothing has shown up since the 23rd. If it did change, please send out a notice to the old feed so everyone knows.
Thanks – just sent out a reminder on the old feed.
The new feed is here: http://yehudamoon.com/feed/
I haven’t been back for a while, but I am so happy that this was the outcome!! Will be back regularly from now on, and after October I’ll pay up
When read with rss (google reader), the strips appear a little bit smaller. And It’s a bit harder to read. Could be nice to have the strip as big as on the website (as it was with the old website). Thank you for having put everything free.
I appreciate being able to see the comic daily. In catching up on the months that I was unable to see previously, I had a renewed thought: I enjoy the daily stand-alone comics or short story arcs much better than the long arcs. The long ones are so hard to follow unless you read them all consecutively. In that way, it’s like a soap opera. That’s not necessarily a compliment. A useful tool on the site would be a place where one could view all of the comics along a given story arc in order: Shaker Woods project, Sidewalk, Sister Sprocket, Fred’s story, etc.
Thanks again for the great comic.
