An online webcomic hosting website. 

 

It's a pain in the butt to create the hosting stuff for your webcomic, so users can register and upload their own webcomics to the site. We provide the hosting for the images and the layout of the site so it looks all nice, pretty, and AJAXy. 

 

We should also be able to provide rss feeds for each webcomic.
