Now that my blogs are on my own server, I’m going to have to content myself with much lower traffic. That’s not really too much of a concern of mine. But at the same time, there are some things that I do want to share, and I would hope they get some exposure.
I’m not a self-promoter. I prefer to be discovered naturally, without any artificial boosts or bumps. I guess it would help with credibility, like "oh, he’s only famous because he spammed Reddit every day for a year with links to dumb posts." That’s like the opposite of what I want. But really, I don’t want fame. I just want to be helpful.
And on that topic, I have a few albums on Flickr that I consider helpful. Some, based on views, might actually be helpful. And I fear, when I move them here to this network, they won’t be discovered as easily or at all. But, looking at it from another perspective, I am moving them here in case Flickr goes away completely, so there’s that threat as well.
Anyway, in the coming days, there’s going to be a new menu item for articles. These are things that don’t really have the same meaning as blog posts, to be chronologically placed. Maybe they’re like "sticky posts". But these pages will have the content that was previously hosted on Flickr. Specifically, some repair articles for keyboards I’ve owned. The article format will be much better suited for the purpose than a photo album.
I’m going to have to figure out exactly how I will manage my CD Artwork collection as a series of pages. I’ve looked for other places to host them and for one reason or another, it’s just never worked out. And you know what they say, if you don’t like it, you’re free to do it yourself. And I guess that’s the whole point of bringing my blog network in-house.
