How to Bookmark the newest comic
Hi I just want to share something that I just discovered today. The following link will take you straight to the newest comic:
http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript
You can bookmark it in order to quickly check out if a new comic is out

Re: How to Bookmark the newest comic
The proper link is http://www.giantitp.com/comics/ootslatest.html.
That other one is a website relic that just happens to still work.

You can also use the RSS feed.
You know, if you're into that sort of thing.

Thanks for the tip KillianHawkeye
About rss feeds, they are evil. Once you have a rss reader set up suddenly your time on the internets skyrocket.Last edited by hoff; 2011-06-17 at 11:06 AM.

You do not have to subscribe to everything you find.
And OotS is safe to subscribe to. At the moment it's like one update per two weeks or something, that is hardly enough to swamp you.

Re: How to Bookmark the newest comic
I had to delete mine, I had over 150 feeds. It was a time waster!
I was reading a ton of webcomics, fail blogs, lolcat blogs...omg....I'd get to work in the morning, get a cup of coffee, check my feeds and I'd waste 2 hours before I knew. I had to get rid of it before I got fired!

Re: How to Bookmark the newest comic
SO.... let me get this straight...
The OP was asking (well, giving really) links that would take you to the latest comic... so you posted a link that gets me ONE CLICK AWAY from what I want and from what others had given me the link to? O.o

Re: How to Bookmark the newest comic
"None of us likes to be hated, none of us likes to be shunned. A natural result of these conditions is, that we consciously or unconsciously pay more attention to tuning our opinions to our neighbor’s pitch and preserving his approval than we do to examining the opinions searchingly and seeing to it that they are right and sound." - Mark Twain

Re: How to Bookmark the newest comic
Of course, constantly loading the comic just to see if it has been updated has the potential to waste a whole lot of the site's bandwidth (depending upon your cache settings and some other settings). Whereas loading the front page requires very little bandwidth in comparison.

Re: How to Bookmark the newest comic
I just bookmarked the archive, and go there whenever I feel like checking on it. Since I generally check it on the same computer every time, this has the added bonus of showing the ones I've clicked on in tan and the ones I haven't in brown, so it's very easy to tell how many I've missed.
Of course, if I actually had the mental capacity to remember the numbers, this wouldn't even be a problem."This is me. I am amazing." ~Zemouregal, RuneScape quest NPC

Re: How to Bookmark the newest comic
I just posted this so people would know about this functionality. I by no means am stating that this is the best way to check oots.
Now please chill out, somehow in forums it's impossible to discern a joke from an insult.

Re: How to Bookmark the newest comic
Ditto here! I knew that it was possible to link to only the latest comic directly but since when I first started reading these I had it listed in my "check monthly" category of favorite comics I saved the archive page so that I could see which ones I missed. Now I check at least twice a week but I never changed the bookmark.
