News - Flickr Alternatives - Blogger/Blogging

This is something many have used on the scene since forever. You're reading one right now. I'm talking about your own personal blog! Which puts a tremendous amount of freedom into your own hands, and allows you to really sell your own brand. Let's face it no self-respecting real-world Porn Star is without their own Web Site. The Sexiest Pornstars should be no different. I co-own this one with Emmanuelle, I also have my own personal Blog, Extreme Serenity and one for my Studio Porn Dolls too.

You can find the most suitable one for you. Wyx, and Word Press offer a very professional finished look. I have always gone with Blogger, for ease of use, and user-friendly creation. Many of us have a Google Account which means we can simply just go in and start a Blogger Blog ( Like this one. ) from your Google Apps right away!

You can then promote your blog, and posts in our Sexiest Pornstars Group via our Notices. Even when we settle on, and adopt a site to replace Flickr for our "Flickr Free Members" a Blog will still be important. You have total control over that space. You can also send me a NC in-world, or catch me in-world and send me your Blog URL. ( Warning - My IM's are always capped. So If  I'm offline, please send NC. x ) I'll be happy to add it to The Sexiest Pornstars Blog side bar right here.

If a hosting site such as DeviantArt ( Which we could well adopt as our preferred new place to work with in The Sexiest Pornstars group. ) has some restrictions on Hard Core Porn in their TOS. I'm suggesting those members wishing to release more explicit Porn upload a milder "Promo Image" to DeviantArt for example, and then link to your own personal Blog in the image description. For the more explicit content. You can even go and make a "Safe" promotional image for your "Explicit" Blog Post and upload it to Flickr too, without breaking their new rules. And link to your blog in the Flickr Image Description too.

Pornstars with Blogs have always had a certain image on our scene. Many of our top stars present and past have one. I would urge you to take control of your own Sexiest Pornstars destiny and own one too! We have over 3,000 members in our group for you to promote at. Yet again I have to say it. There is life after Flickr! 

News - Flickr Alternatives - DeviantArt

Should the proposed changes happen and be enforced on Flickr. Which state Free Members will no longer be allowed to upload "NSFW" or Porn imagery. ( Full Announcement Here. ) Then I'm extremely confident we will find a solution within our community. We'll explore every option. As i have no wish for Sexiest Pornstars Members to have to stop being Pornstars or being hot and Fabulous in any way! Just because they do not wish to go Pro on Flickr!

So far DeviantArt is looking a really promising alternative for free Flickr users. Second Life imagery is welcomed. Adult, NSFW/Porn is welcomed. I was also able to make a "Sexiest-Pornstars" group there. Which means this blog can function as it always has too. With a central pool of images for our awesome Blog Editor Ali to browse content for HAM, TT, Hump Day Galleries etc. Sexiest Pornstars Members will also be able to share links in our group in world and as always. With other DevientArt members able to view it.

EXPLICIT PORNOGRAPHY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ON DEVIANTART THOUGH. SO IT IS NOT THE PERFECT SOLUTION. ALBIET A GOOD FIT FOR EROTIC, NUDITY, AND MILDER SEXUAL THEMES.

We are also going to be urging Sexiest Pornstars Members to begin adding Twitter/Tweets to notices and also their Twitter Handles too. As an extra means to share Second Life Porn content. We will no longer keep all our eggs in one basket, and give Flickr their monopoly! A move to social media is also great for members on the move, and unable to be in world.

This is a on going trial. Problems may arise. It's why we're taking time to find the absolute best possible place to adopt for the group/community. I'll report back with problems as i go. The important thing is this is day one of looking for a Flickr alternative. We already have a very promising place, that will allow us to function as normal. With some small compromises. There is life after Flickr! We will carry on. :)
