Scott’s Weekly Wrap

The coolest news of the week comes with the start of a Tumblr Blog for Nuwomb. It had been a bit of a struggle to get the subdomain pointing to the correct Tumblr IP.  Once I figured it all out, it was made super easy due to using CloudFlare with Nuwomb. More on Cloudflare in the future though.

The week only brought us 2 new blog posts on the Blog for Photography Incubation; but I believe these posts are strong. The blog post on Instagram for Android is one of the most popular posts currently.  It’s received the most “Likes” that I know of too.   I’ll be experimenting with current strategic ideas to see how it all plays out because I want to help other photographers with their blogs too.

I’ve been playing with how I can add greater value for people that goes beyond blog posts.  Blogs posting is massively important to me and I have a massive number of blogs in draft form.   But what can be done beyond this? eBook, WordPress themes, valuable newsletter information, and other ideas to help spread ideas and tips.

I was very motivated to get some of these other ideas going because of a person released a photography guide that I had no idea they even were interested in photography.  If someone that doesn’t even appear to be connected with photography can release and ebook guide, why don’t I? How am I still so lacking on releasing or shipping a photography related product.

Less posting could and will mean more awesome things are going on in the background.  This is why I brought up the idea of accepting guest posts for Nuwomb.  Eventually, I do expect people to submit some posts.  Until then, I continue to build the site on my own.

I also posted on http://www.scottrwebb.com regarding the next London Photowalk that’s happening on April 30th.  I challenged anyone showing up to shoot mobile photography because it’s something I’ve really embraced. It takes some of the self-consciousness out of the equation that many people get due to seeing people with large DSLR cameras.

Hopefully I have more of a kick-butt wrap-up for next week!

More Changes

I started this tumblog as a place for some personal thoughts. I also set it up under my own name and have started to wonder if that’s why people are not opting to follow. 

I feel bad for changing up this Tumblog because really great people follow it. Only a handful have followed since I wanted to turn it into the domain it is now: iphonemadephotography.com

Another thing that has bothered me is difficulty of running a number of blogs via one account.  You would think it’s great and would make things easier but it doesn’t.  It seems that any sites or services connecting with the API only work with the Default or Primary Blog.  

Since we cannot change up what the primary blog is or anything yet, it proves a problem. 

That’s why I’m going to set up the domain on a separate Tumblr Account.  This will also allow for longer term ideas.  I would love to allow others to submit their most interesting iPhoneography to the site via submissions.

What happens here?

It returns to personal thoughts and such.
