Greetings, Poacher Nation!
So recently, I decided to get on my ass--as in on a chair--and start posting some more entries.
I have a usual routine: go out to my storage area, dig through my files, find my pics and notes on a particular poachette, read through the notes to jog my addled brain, and then get to writing. The notes usually come in an outline, highlighting the various, uh, highlights of my affairs with the poachette in question.
So I grabbed a couple of files and started working on the entries and scanning in some pics and all that. I was making some nice headway on a couple of entries.....and....well.....
Today, I opened an email from blogger:
"Dear Blogger User,
We're writing to tell you about an upcoming change to
the Blogger Content
Policy that may affect your account.
In the
coming weeks, we'll no longer allow blogs that contain sexually
explicit or
graphic nude images or video. We'll still allow nudity
presented in
artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts, or
where there
are other substantial benefits to the public from not taking
action on the
content.
The new policy will go into effect on the 23rd of March 2015.
After this
policy goes into effect, Google will restrict access to any blog
identified
as being in violation of our revised policy. No content will be
deleted,
but only blog authors and those with whom they have expressly
shared the
blog will be able to see the content we've made
private.
Our records indicate that your account may be affected by this
policy
change. Please refrain from creating new content that would violate
this
policy. Also, we ask that you make any necessary changes to your
existing
blog to comply as soon as possible, so that you won't experience
any
interruptions in service."
So no naughty pictures unless it's for art (I'm sure Google will decide what is and isn't art), science, or educational (personally, I think pics on poaching are quite educational, but oh well).
I went in search of other adult blog hosting sites, and really couldn't find anything to my liking.
So I'm staying here (well, until they decide that they don't want any adult content at all--but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it). It's just easier.
Of course, this new policy will affect the appearance of the blog. The slideshows will be gone. However,
I did find a site to host the pictures, I can just provide a link after each entry and you can go give them a look.
Also, I'll have to change most of the pics you see at the top of the entries, as well as the ones that are embedded into each post. No big deal.
I did find another adult blogging site that intrigued me. I figured that I could start a picture blog there, then put a link in each entry so you could just go over and check them out--or even move the whole blog over. But it's powered by Wordpress, and I'm no fan of their platform. I could do a multi-pic upload, but would have to put each pic in one at a time--and I couldn't figure out how to create a slideshow.
So I found a barebones image hosting site, imgbox.com. So here's how each poachette's picture gallery will look. Cue up Ashley!
The blog will be looking a bit different. I have to get this done in a month (thanks for the ton of notice, Google).
Groan.
