So “mixed by default” won, 3:1. For those of you who don’t want to see the commentary mixed in (or ever), all you have to do is bookmark this link. That’s the “Content” category. The side blog type stuff will be in the “Commentary” category. There are now links on the side bar for showing either one alone. Otherwise you’ll see both. Thanks to everyone who voted. At least 72 votes so far, and I’m fairly pleased with that. It’s not in the same ballpark as the number of followers I had on Tumblr, but who knows how many of those accounts were even active. Seventy real visits (by people engaged enough to vote no less) over a weekend is fine by me.

Anyway, this isn’t necessarily final, if anyone really doesn’t like this setup, I’m open to other ideas, so please let me know. But that’s the plan for now, we’ll see how it goes. I guess this is the first official “Commentary” post. I’ll have to think of something more fun to talk about next time.

Hehe, no I didn’t plan this when I posted the other one, but I’ve got a question for you guys. A while ago, someone asked if I had considered bringing back the “side blog” like I had on Tumblr, where I would talk about background details on the world, or blog business that I didn’t want to clutter the main thing with. (Like this would probably go there, if I had it.) I’ve posted some of this kind of thing as comments on pictures, which is fine, but it’s not very visible or good for random thoughts that aren’t about a picture.

Thing is, WordPress works differently, so setting up a completely separate blog isn’t as easy and may not be the best solution anyway. WordPress has “categories” which are kind of like tags, but usually broader. So what I’m thinking I’ll do is post the “side blog” stuff right here, but in a separate category from the captions. This way you can read both together or go to the category view and see them separately if you prefer. The main question is whether people would prefer it together by default (slightly easier) or separate by default.

TL;DR are you interested in seeing commentary and discussion posts, and if so, how separate from the captions should they be?

Here’s the poll.

This will also give me an idea how many readers I have, which I’m curious about. So I included and option you can use to let me know you’re here, even if you don’t care about the side blog stuff either way.
