Bloggers, Website Owners, General Geeks UNITE!
Hey! I thought it would be cool to have a thread devoted to sharing links to our work. If you own a blog, a website, or want to share some general geekery, bits of code, etc. Drop it here so we can ooh and aah!
(and no, don't post your competing Butch/Femme website link here! LOL) I hope that CanMarie will come in here and share the link to her blog. She has a FABULOUS blog documenting her weight loss journey. I know Linus and several others who have blogs or websites so show me your stuff!! |
S'not up to date...I have a huge back log of pics and stuff to go up.

Hey, I hope it is ok to share this...
I am not a website owner or a blogger but I do have a couple of sites that I am affiliated with. One, FetLife. Yes, I have a profile but I am a greeter as well. Two, the Submissive Guide website. I contribute articles here on a regular basis. http://www.submissiveguide.com/ :sparklyheart: |
See below. I get a lot of hits from here--I appreciate it, everybody. I think everyone feels stupid writing a blog at first, well, at least I did, but when people read it and come back, it's encouraging.
^tapu~tapu is the actual name of my blog. For some reason, Blogger wouldn't let me have just two tapus in the url.... ? |
Afterthought: We should be like the xmas card xchange and xchange hits on one another's blogs!

Oh, well, in the exchange we're only checking out one. >;-)

I'm in the process of reviving my blogs again and perhaps even starting up a new one (work related).
My Syrlinus Blog (about transition, life of a Canadian in the US and just life in general) My CigarNewbie Blog (about cigars, whiskey and nice fountain pens) <-- this one, interestingly enough, got me an offer recently by someone wanting to buy the domain. It'd take a lot to make me sell any of my domains but certainly it was flattering. Another blog that I'm hoping to start this year is one related to my work. I'm in the process of writing a technical book and with that, I'm sure, will come all sorts of little tidbits. That blog will be called Virtual Buddha but I'll post that once I have it going. June did some great logos for me that I've yet to add to my sites so that is the other thing I need to work on this year. (it's a great way for me to relearn some php/HTML5). |

i don't know if this makes sense but there seems to be an online voice that can make the difference between professional or amateur site. maybe it's text size, font and structure i haven't been able to put my finger on it yet - all the above sites have it any tips or hints for written content? |
i would totally blog but i can't decide on a title. also, e is threatening to not make dinner if i don't go back to being femme--something in the title should reference my add.
i like dogs. |
Oh. I started a blog share thread in the writing section but now that we have this thread I suppose I can delete the other one. Wait, can I delete the other one? Or is that something only admins can do?
I'm a blogger but not a geek. (as you can tell, I'm pretty terrible at computers.) :) |
This is a nice thread, I like it. I've visited a few blogs posted already & will try to see everyone's as they post them. I really enjoy blogs & people who keep them. I photoblog mostly although sometimes I will talk about technique, equipment, and inspiration.
My personal photoblog is here: http://faireunvoeu.wordpress.com/ and my shop is here: http://www.redbubble.com/people/faireunvoeu ...and i love visitors! |

But in my day job I spend a lot of time talking with art students. A topic that comes up with every student at some point is personal style. Most of my students are freshmen and the idea of actively cultivating their style is new to them so I suggest they take their favorite 2-3 pieces so far and write as many descriptive adjectives as possible. Find the overlap in the descriptions of those peices and you'll have a start to figuring out what your style is. Or, ask your friends and family to come up with the list of descriptors. You might be surprised what your audience sees since your experience of the finished product is informed by the process and their experience is just the finished product (among other reasons). This exercise works with a myriad of art forms from writing to sculpture to dance. Oh, and on another note, experiment. You may find that you can get comfortable with several techniques or styles but one feels more like "home". :writer: I hope this helps! |

Hey there, t. unless i've missed the link, could you put it here so I can take a look at your text design? I'm not sure if you mean that, or actual content, but I'd like to see both. Ladyface gave good tips on exercising personal writing style. I have an approach, too, but I'll see what you've got first, if I may. I think personal style is one of my writing's greatest strength, but I also think it's hard to nail down what it is even when you've got it. A few readers have described mine to me, so I might be able to help pull out yours. taps |
I've let my blog go :(
But I'm associated with a couple of websites. |
My good friend and ex (a transman) is blogging from jail. His first post went up today. It's at originalplumbing.com I think of that community as really supportive but there have already been some icky assumptions about his situation and some not very nice comments. Anyway, I'd love to hear what you all think.
love love love (and no more ickyness), ladyface |

Yeah, naming the Blog and describing it pops up first.... I didn't have any idea until I started writing it, but I named it after me, and then put just that in the description: that I'd been staring at it and had to move on if I were even going to have a blog. It worked! I started writing and haven't stopped. |
[I can hardly understand that last thing I posted. I think I was having auditory hallucinations at the time. Must have messed me up.]
Hey, Linus, our bright, handsome boy-- I was redo-ing the link in my sig when it came up that "URL is not BB code." Huh? I don't see where I can implant a link down there now either. The tapu-tapu-tapu line is plain text. Do you know what's up? Thanks! taps |
