If you are interested in having your own comic site you may have come across people suggesting rarebit. Rarebit is a comic template you can use to do so.
I do know some HTML and CSS, but even then back when I downloaded rarebit for the first time I was still a bit confused on where to start, so I hope this small guide helps anyone that is interested on starting their own comic site using it.
In this part I’m going to change the logo and navigation buttons on the site.
1.- Download Rarebit from: https://rarebit.neocities.org/ ← You can also read information about it in here and check out other sites that use it.
2.- You will get a zip file with the basic things needed to set up your comic site
3.- You will place these HTML files and folders in your Neocities site dashboard
4.- Changing your logo
If you open the Index right now it will look like this:
I started changing the img files that make up the site to mine for this, starting with the logo, you can find it on the img folder
Select manage, these are the contents of the folder:
characters: stores the images for your characters page
comicnav: the navigation arrows for your site
comics: This is where you place your comic pages, your comic pages have to start with pg and then followed by a number, I will touch on that later.
thumbs: you can place thumbnails for your comic archive, this is optional and you can turn it off, personally I don’t use them but if you want them they are there.
Hildaterry.png: this is a placeholder image for the about page, you can delete it or replace it later on when you build your about page.
logo.png: What I did was open this file and replace it with my own logo, then overwrite, next time you open the index page it will have been replaced.
rarebitlogo_small.png: this is the image used in the credits to give credit to rarebit.
-Once you’ve replaced the logo file for your logo it you will notice the change in the index.
Note. The name of your logo file must have the same exact name of logo.png.
after the change:
Good start isn’t it? You can do this with your nav buttons as well, just replace the files on your comicnav folder.

I know disappearing for months on end here is abt normal for this account ( checks last post that was two years ago ) but I'm currently working on my passion project webcomic: Naoko Against the Multiverse!
I even made a trailer! And a Rarebit powered home page for future pages! And a Discord! You can put your eyeballs on all three of these things if you're interested in any way about a webcomic about a transgender plural woman overcoming multiversal variants of herself while balancing work and family ( can you tell it's inspired by eeaao? )
I'm suckerpunching everyone with this because Chapter 1 is In the Works and is set to release sometime late February/ early March. Please consider joining the Discord for fun events like voting on the cover page/server icon, theories about the story, and livestreams when I draw pages!
Howdy! This is an absolute shot in the dark but how did you wrangle rarebit to go to your character page instead of straight to the comic? Or if you could at least point me in the direction to where you sorted out the redirect, I would SUPER appreciate it. Amazing art by the way!! Thanks for taking the time to read this message
it wasnt too bad! I made a copy of the index.html page and renamed it "comic.html" and otherwise kept it the same, and then made a new index.html page and took out all the comic js stuff ! So no redirects or anything, I just switched the pages around ^_^
the index.html is a totally custom setup btw, it's not the one built into rarebit
i am. preeeeetty sure that you don't have to edit any of the js scripts after doing this but. if this doesnt work for u let me know and i can try to dig deeper!

Cooking With Christie: Another Use For Malt Vinegar...
Inspiration: Staring in my fridge one afternoon, I spotted the bottle of malt vinegar sitting on a shelf, behind the pickles and lingonberry jam — and wondered if there was another use for it besides sprinkling it over my fish and chips. Unwilling to let my curiosity fizzle out under the weight of laundry, dishes, and weeding, I used the computer in my pocket (i.e., my phone) to see what recipes…
hello! i'm starting a comic soon and i wanted to ask how you set your site for tiger, tiger up. finding info on making a site for a comic is weirdly and stupidly difficult. i know you're paired with hiveworks, but did you do everything on the comic page yourself?
Hive build everything, I have zero knowledge about coding!
thankfully I just encountered this thing, which I think is super helpful for ppl wanting to make their own site; https://rarebit.neocities.org
on the below there's exampled of sites done with rarebit if you wanna check out what kind of things you can build with this!
Another absolute winner from the magicians at Betty’s. This rarebit is alive with flavour - cheddar & parmesan, porter & chives. I tried it both toasted and un-toasted, and each time it was delightful.
Un-toasted with butter it tastes like a really good quality cheese scone. If you want to level up, toasting brings the flavour out even further. Treat yourself to the best butter you can get because this tasty bit of cheese heaven deserves nothing less.
