Yeah, and thanks for the prod, I’d LOVE to do that… but what is the best way? I’m not up for coding another thing from scratch right now, and ning is too bloated, flickr too greedy, wordpress.com has ads… any suggestions would be welcome.
Until then consider this thread as one of these “sites”, and rest assured there is more than one of them
I use Wordpress on my site for my blog… ad free … all you need is a web host that supports php and mysql… it can be installed and customized to your heart’s content
And Wordpress really is the way to go… it’s clean… it has more plugins than you can shake a stick at… and search engines love it. They’ve built in things like pinging all the major blog services to update when you post… and there’s this wonderful photoblogging theme called monotone that changes colors and size based on the photo you post:
Dunno… I’d prefer something I can turn over to others easily when I don’t have time anymore… on a domain that won’t poison my google love if something goes wrong…
That theme looks very sweet though, thanks for pointing that out!
cuz it’s just one click away and can be scrapped at will (ning kinda rocks, I wish you could have more than 10 networks…): “chalk is cheapening”?
I had to reply …Johann hav you ever experienced 'free love ’ ( as we say fuckin around with no boundaries )
I mean …It’s more than a sentence and some colours you know …In fact it is verry difficult …
But I understand you , It’s a beatifull thing to love everyone unconditionally …but nearly impossible .
Like byte said… if I meant “free fucking” I would have wrote just that Or hey, a flying penis
Granted, it was also based on the ralization that loving someone and being horny are two different things, and that love is not so much threatened by sex with random strangers, as sex with random strangers is threatened by love…
… but as far as I’m concerned writing the “truth shall set you free” above it would have made just as much and the exact same sense. And people would also have said “it’s just words” - well, if that’s all you make of it. The words are true, I don’t care what others learn from it, I just want to tag it everywhere like a dog pissing on everything.
Tomorrow: making a huuuge, colourful heart out of this mess and writing “noch freiere Liebe” above it.
yeh hippies kinda goofed up the message. I see free-love as an acknowledgement, of an acceptance that can only come from someone else who acknowledges you as a person with no judgements. keeping things light, and following your heart.
speaking only of the topic, i see Johann’s free-love as a direct meaning. hearts with wings, is very direct.
Well… I’ll surely keep that idea in my head, it’s great… but it is exhausting to do something at this size with chalk… and also kinda depressing, because the colors always drift towards grey/brown (it doesn’t look as good in reality as it does on the photo). I’ll try it, but in a more reasonable size
