Starting a new photo blog manton.org

@manton My cat thanks you for the feature in your post 😂

@manton How does one do this with a hosted website and no Apple devices?

@Ron Everything works the same except for using Sunlit. We are about to roll out some web improvements for photos, but in the meantime I recommend using Quill to upload multiple photos in a post.

@Ron A hosted website and no Apple devices. I think the only answer is, "The correct way."

@GR36 what’s a Mac 😜 seriously though I’ll jump on that.

@jgmac1106 Sorry, I don't understand. I'm not a web developer. It was a sincere question, as I described my own situation.

@manton just wanted to point out something to you. I came across this blog post today - www.daniellemorrill.com/2018/09/c... Micro.blog is mentioned in the comments. I thought you might be interested.

@rbazinet Thanks for the link! Looks like a good discussion.

@rbazinet comment from Micro blog member @sharding ... rapping with Brad Feld no less .... who often has interesting insights of his own ... And I BET if he tried out MB he would be all over it ... There is a lot more to be said in short form that gets forgotten if still Short form is technically as hard as long form ....I'm looking at you as well short form podcasts ...

As a VC it's a concept that Brad would get ...

Different VCs / Investors have minimum thresholds of what they invest because at some point it is just as easy to invest 10 million as 1 million .. so with a 100 million portfolio .. 10 10 million investments are easier than 100 1 million investments ...

Now think blogs ... If it takes 30 minutes to write a long form blog and another 15 to publish it, format it, promote it, share it .. then I would understand that writing a 3 minute post and spending an extra 15 doing 'the rest' is not good ROI ... So 'i only do long form' becomes your position ... But if it takes 3 minutes to write and the rest is just managed automatically for you ... Well now ... That is a game changer .... Kind of like using AI to filter investment proposals, to allow you to do more .... Incrementally .... I will dig that link out.

@manton A photos page hopefully that will allow me to see just my photos...in a grid? That's really is the last major item that would kill it for me online. After that it's just polishing what's there :).

@kaa Agreed, something like that would be great. (I'm going to add something to the API so that apps can better show just your photos, too.)

@kaa I’m a fan ....

@manton Hey Manton, for some reason my micro blog stopped syncing from my own json feed (https://doleearts.com/blog:json), but I couldn't find out why. Any help?

@doleearts It looks like your account is using /posts:json, which redirects using a relative path. If you can change that redirect to a full URL it should start working again.
