Here’s a question for you all. Would anyone be interested in having a button to share/reblog content from this site? I just happened to think of this the other day. It would (assuming people used them) be a way for me to get a little more exposure and for you to share your favorite pictures with people who might not see them otherwise. Obviously, given the content, you’re not gonna want to put this on Facebook… Tumblr would be the most obvious choice, or I assume there’s some kind of feature to make sharing between WordPress blogs easier (but I haven’t really looked into it yet). I’m open to suggestions about any other platforms too of course.
Just trying to gauge interest at the moment. Or find out if anyone has objections (privacy?) and would prefer I didn’t add share buttons. So please weigh in on the comments if you have any thoughts one way or the other.

As long as the share buttons aren’t overtly tracking before the user hits “post” then that would be fine.
That’s an issue too (closer to what I was thinking off when I mentioned privacy concerns) unfortunately it’s kind of had to determine. Certainly if I did this I would make an effort to pick something that isn’t too invasive, but I don’t know how I can really be sure.
If it ain’t too much of a hassle for you to set it up then go ahead and give us the option to share the posts on here with tumblr.
Well I understand I posted to a public forum, but it is also your forum. I’m not sure about sharing all over since I wouldn’t want my online ID all over the place.
That’s a fair point. I hadn’t really consider the fact that some people might not want their content reposted. Reblogging was a given back on tumblr, but of course this isn’t tumblr. Just to be clear, I’m suggesting it would be credited to the name you submitted it with, not “Dave Mosblech”. Is that still something you’d prefer not to have widely published?
This is definitely something I want to resolve before moving forward with this idea.
i mean, i might as well use such a feature to cross post my own submissions to tumblr. maybe offer narrative expansions or some such.
