Photoblog
June 2nd, 2005I want a photoblog.
I want a place that I can point my "photography" friends to that centers on nothing but photography. I want an outlet that encourages me to post a new picture every day. I want a place that makes doing so as painless as possible. I want a place that does so in a fashion that encourages feedback and community.
As best as I can tell, I have 5 options
# Use an external service (like "Flickr":http://flickr.com/). If desired, I can create a page on my site that aggregates the external information and incorporates it more directly into my site to give it all the same look and feel. However, all correspondence will be directed through that external service. I don't like not owning my own information, and I don't like relying on another service to be up and stay up. But, I trust "Yahoo!"http://yahoo.com/. And they own Flickr now. And I trusted Flickr before. So it probably wont be a problem. But I don't get to customize the look and feel of my pages. And, to get the full effect, my readers will have to create accounts ever there, which they might not be willing to do.
# Find pre-written software that suits my needs. I've looked a little, with no luck. Suggestions?
# Write my own software. And we all know how long I've been working on Inklog to no avail. Partners?
# Trick my current software into making a special page for all "photography" items and continue to post photographs in the fashion that I do today.
# Say "fuck it".
Options? Suggestions? Comments?
