Dwayne McDuffie's Static
Dear Antidote Nation,
I wanted my first post that was about something to cement my stand point and individualize my views from others in a way for you all to get to know me better. And after recent events I knew I had to do something to do with Dwayne McDuffie (RIP). because of his unfortunate early passing (which if you see Alex’s post that linked to my FB you can read more on my feelings on McDuffie), but also because he wrote a series that I speak/feel so strongly on. Milestone’s one and only Static. Now many that really know me know that Static is my #1 comic book character I love above all
New Theme and Site Navigation (Bonus: Poll)
Well I mentioned recently that I was going to make a new theme for the site and here it is! To go with the new theme I also changed the navigation. Now the menu is sorted by topic only and is pretty straightforward. (If for some reason you liked the old “Antidote” category posts, they are still here, just under “Tech Stuff”).
Some of these new sections are empty — as in there are no posts there yet — but that will change in the near future. I now have another author to help add content to this site, so stay tuned.
For comparison I have included some small screenshots of the old and new themes with a new poll

Hello everyone name is Jeremy, some know me better as T. But more on that later *nods*
Well First I want to say it’s awesome to be here on Alex’s Antidote! he made me aware of this site the other day when I made a post on Facebook about the passing of Dwayne McDuffie (RIP). Since then I’ve looked over the board and in talks with Alex I’ve decided to jump on board as a writer/author here. I look forward to talking about some of the things I personally love to enjoy in life; Comic Books, Movies, and TV shows/cartoons. I may sometimes post something on Sports just to annoy you all, but it’ll be mostly about Comics.
What should I do?
Since Google has disabled my AdSense account and appealing their decision has no promise of being fruitful, I am left with a slight dilemma… What to do now?
I have space for ads, but no ads to place there. I have a few ideas, but really can’t decide.
Perhaps you can help… I am open to suggestions. You can leave a comment here, on facebook, or on twitter (or if you’re really shy you can send me an email using the “request/suggest an antidote” pages in the menu). I will give it a few days and take count of the votes/suggestions and proceed from there.
Here are the choices I’ve been considering, pick one (or two) or suggest an
New Favicon (aka bookmark icon)
Alex's Antidote - favicon.png
OK so today I was showing off my new mobile theme on my iPhone while at work. My buddy Bran was checking out the icon I made (with a little help from GIMP and the logo Bran had made for my website — thanks again man) and he made a great suggestion… why not use use the icon for my favicon on my main website?
So I did…
If you have a website, want a custom favicon, but don’t know how to go about it, then you’re in luck because it’s really quite easy.
Step 1: Make an icon
It should be 32 x 32 (pixels) and 32 bit color.
You can use GIMP (or some
