Excited for the 30-day photoblogging challenge that will start on February 1st. New sign-ups on Micro.blog get blog hosting (including photo storage) free until March to make it easier to get started with your own indie microblog and participate.

@manton that is awesome, is that being advertised anywhere? I'd love to share it with everyone I know so they can join in the fun and see how awesome micro.blog is 😊

@manton if you put a post in a certain category, does that keep it from cross posting to Twitter?

@jonmolina It's listed on the register page and we're also posting about it on the Twitter account. Thanks!

@greghiggins Nope. All posts regardless of category appear in the main feed, which controls cross-posting. It is possible under Account → Edit Feeds to use category-specific feeds or temporarily disable cross-posting.

@manton just curious because I posted a couple things earlier. One of them went to twitter and the other did not. That was the only thing different.

@manton never mind. It was delayed apparently and I didn’t know that

@manton A new badge?

@manton @macgenie for the challenge, do we need to include the camera 📷 emoji at all? I mean, I will still but is it important to do so ?

@manton is there a hashtag or do I simply post a picture every day?

@Gabz @macgenie No need to include 📷.

@mandaris No need for a hashtag. Just post a photo and Micro.blog will find it.

@manton Cross-posted photos count as well?

@spratte As long as the photo shows up in the Micro.blog timeline, it counts.
