 * Okay, I’ve read the installation page. I’ve hit “Save Changes” on the permalinks
   screen and I don’t mind the thumbnails at 150×150. I saw the stuff about inserting
   code into the php for the theme, which is fine – I can do that.
 * I have a perfectly new installation of WordPress 3.5.1, and I’ve chosen the “
   Sundance” theme that came with the installation, edited the index.php file, and
   I’ve activated the Akismet plugin. That’s all I’ve done.
 * But how do I actually upload a comic? I have no idea how to actually use Comic
   Easel, and there are no instructions anywhere that I can find about this.

 * In case you’re wondering, I’ve successfully installed the Comic Easel plugin –
   I see the “Comic Easel News” on the Dashboard. But I don’t see any Settings page
   for Comic Easel, or a way to edit options in the Plugins area. Is there one?

 * With the comic easel plugin activated, in the left set of menu items there should
   be a new one that says “comic”
 * Unless another plugin is overwriting it.

 * Thanks! So I hit “Add Comic”, and there’s all sorts of stuff there to add a comic,
   which looks great. But in the top right corner it says “To add a comic image,
   use the featured image link to add a featured image. After it uploads, click 
   the “use as featured image”.
 * I don’t understand. What’s the whole purpose of the “Add Comic” page if it isn’t
   even used? And where is this “featured image link”? I can’t find it.

 * Okay, I figured out that I was using the wrong theme. But I still don’t have 
   it working.
 * I posted a new Comic, set the featured image, and all that, and I see my new 
   post with the comic in it. But (1) the comic is too small in the blog post and(
   2) I wanted a large version of the comic across the top of the website anyway(
   like dilbert.com or pvponline.com). Is that not supposed to happen?
 * Also, is it possible to use the plugin with a different theme? The instructions
   made it seem like I could, but when I used a different theme there was no “featured
   image” option.

 * the comic is constrained within the available space, if you don’t want it there
   move the do_action(‘comic-area’) to another area..
 * what theme did you choose?

 * I was using the Easel theme. I just deleted the post and did it all over again,
   and it worked. Maybe saving a post in a bad state, then going back and fixing
   things, isn’t the best way to create a comic on Comic Easel? I don’t know. Either
   way, it’s working now.
 * I’ve actually switched to a different theme, and I have it working there too.
 * Thanks!

 * Yup, changing a comic post makes it not appear. I tried changing which image 
   a comic was displaying, and the comic no longer showed.
