Question: do any one of you (my five or six friends who are reading this) mind if I move to Blogger? It's easier, as Google will host images for me, and I might update a heck of a lot more often if that's the case. Thoughts?
I'm just posting manually. Do you mean cross-post it, using a blog-writing software of some kind? If so, any recommendations? My process for posting right now is sloppy, tedious, and manual...trying to change that.
Would be great if you could ask: I have no ego staked on technical/internet wizardry anymore, and time I don't have to spend researching is time I can spend drawing. ;)
You know, I have a separate feed set up just to read people like you. Livejournal non-believers.
(Actually, for straight-up blogging stuff instead of plain old journal wankery, I'd probably say go to Blogger anyhow. I've been mirroring my journal there for a year or so now and I do prefer it for actual published stuff.)
I have a blogspot and I must agree that it is far easier to post images there. Not to mention it's nice to keep a sketchblog connected with my portfolio away from LJ-drama.
Though I read, I doubt I count as one of the friends, but I'll throw in $0.02 anyway.
I'd love it if you made a Blogger account. As oddriddle points out, having a blogspot account that's completely clear of LJ is a great idea. The only draw back is that it's somewhat hard to keep track of updates of other people- the best feature I find in LJ.
Let me know what your new account name is and I'll happily both link to and follow your posts there. I've got very few art links/blogs hooked up there since I'm trying to keep mine completely severed link wise to LJ.
Also, thanks much for the music you uploaded. Very nice- especially Deal in Blood
You totally count as one of the friends I was polling! I basically meant, "people who comment/read and would actually notice if I moved"-- I'm watching my hit counter, and I can tell there's like 6 to 8 of you who load the page once every day or so.
I like you and oddriddle's points about a clean sketch blog for linking to a portfolio, but I don't actually have much lj drama to avoid...I think in the span of four years or so I've had this thing, I've only posted one? maybe two? friend's locked personal things. I'm just....boring, like that. And either intensely public (to any unfortunates who are within a 30' radius of me on a daily basis) or intensely private about any drama in my life.
I love the OST for Ergo Proxy! It's really great working music, for staying in the zone and yet feeling so badass. (Actually, it reminds me a lot of both the Prodigy stuff for the Matrix movies, and the Mechwarrior (*nerdity*shutup!) soundtrack. I can upload the rest later tonight, if you'd like?
I would LOVE the hear more, if it wouldn't be too much strain on your server... I'm checking to see if there's something I have that's comparable to offer back... I know I've got Paranoia Agent back at my place, good stuff there... 65daysofstatic? Kinda' mellow...
Another point about a sketch blog- less of a point for pure 2D art sketches but projects perhaps: linking. I never ever see "respectable" sources/blogs linking to an LJ if they're not on LJ themselves. It seems like if you wanted to have more of an online presence with which to get noticed and to share, Blogger would be a better bet. You may not have drama, but LJ has a very drama/un-professional aura to the whole site.
Done, rest of the soundtrack is up, but I didn't get a chance to find the Mechwarrior music I was talking about (too many external harddrives in my life...gah!)
Any music you'd recommend I'd be game for checking out, esp. if it's got a strong beat to keep work happening.
