I suggest a separate photoblog on your site, with an RSS feed. That would drive more traffic to your site, and on LJ people could just subscribe to that as well (if someone adds the feed).
* I also think there is high traffic / demand for the pics you have !
Executive summary: (Initially) I’d prefer an overlap.
So why not have some thing like S9Y running for the photo thing on your site which will cross post to your LJ as well, using the LJ plugin ! So you can provide a seperate RSS feed + have it on your LJ. Mebbe you can change this to a feed only some time later (depending upon the response).
Put a POTD at a place where you can actually get site stats and all that. LJ doesn’t give you squat. You already have your domain. Put it there and have a feed.
Be warned that you’ll crave the feedback loop once you leave LJ. And LJ or not, I’m not sure the POTD enthusiasm will last more than a few months. Better to focus your energies.
Yeah. I too wish RSS feeds existed for friends. You can use the OPML file generated using this and read the top level folder on your aggregator. Yeah, it can’t track modification to friends list and all. Basically it is an easy way of adding LJ friends to your aggregator.
I agree with jace… I have had a photoblog since almost 2 years now… the feed back frequency keeps changing and have dropped significantly, especially after mediums like flickr… But recently it seems to be going up (a little) again 😛
I do it for its a space where I also write what I feel at times and it also plays as a record of things that I can use for my own reference 😛
If u decide to do it… as everyone is urging – putting it on your domain with a feed is the best way to go.
I still plan to have this blog as an active photo/general/tech blog.. and will post trip reports etc.. its just that.. my posting fequency has gone down and I dont want to flood my blog with pics everyday
Huh? Why should the feedback die? If the feed is syndicated on LJ, people can continue commenting as much as they want. They certainly do on posts of mine that appear here through syndication.
the elephant is uber cute. is she a baby elephant? i wish we have some elephants down here in the philippines. we have pretty wildbirds tho. and lots of fishes. and i liked your photoblog. youre starting to sound like an episode from animal planet now. 😛
just a thought, if they ever asked you to do an episode/documentary, you should. 😛
Yeah! I’d like a POTD !

POTD sounds like a neat idea.

Kyatha looks so dorky, in its human posture. Nice pic.
Aye, for the daily photo.
That is an incredible picture.
POTD would be very welcome. Either as a separate feed or not. 🙂
Thumbs up!
Even iam for having a seperate RSS feed for that.
Does LJ support RSS on tags? that would be a great. 🙂

Nice composition. Yes. A photo a day would be nice.

🙂 Thanks much.. Looking forward to it!
Sure man. put a POTD. Would love that. How is your choice, I cant really weigh the pros and cons, but anything is fine by me.
We met two elephants there, one kanti and another one starting with K. Dont remember if it was this or another one. So why was it the naughtiest?
Yup, that would be great!
nice pic
I love when elephant’s trunk is upward and it showers water. Then we find elephant more beauttiful
