Apr. 29th, 2023 03:10 pmMy photo-a-day tumblr has 356 posts, so I've made it to a year. My Photog tumblr is here. As I've said a few times, despite my massive folders and years of work it took a lot to manage that. I kept my posting focus very narrow, I didn't post anything that could be misinterpreted (so none of my pictures of faded or ragged pride flags. I like them because mood, but releasing those into the wild could go wrong), etc.
Now that I've reached a year I am making a few tweaks. First, I've edited my queue so that it posts at noon in my time zone rather than the east coast. I am just going to fill my queue as I get new material, and if I run out I run out. I am also adding re-blogs of my older posts from before I had any followers to my queue. I didn't know you could queue reblogs until![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mistressofmuses pointed it out to me.I am also going to make a few multi-picture theme posts and other stuff.
I am still going to try to get several new 'keeper' pictures weekly, but the world doesn't always cooperate with that.
Overall, my experiment had gone okay. Tumblr does a thing where it shows you now many notes you've gotten over the past 3 days and for me it's usually over 100. So, even if a lot of my new posts don't do much, my content is still getting organic growth on the only platform that does organic growth anymore. I really, really need to work on my website more and my using tumblr to drive more traffic there. And I'll have to see where I am once this tumblr project is 2 years old.
