Comments on: Photoblog feedback?

Question: Photoblog feedback?

SampleSize — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 08:02:33 -0800

I'm starting a photoblog, and I'm really motivated by feedback. I used to have an Expressions site, which was a now-defunct photoblog hosting service. What was really great about it was that there was a built-in community and, when you posted a new photo, it would be on their front page for a time. Because of that, I was getting comments from the first pic I posted. Is there anything like that now?

From my experience if you start leaving comments on other blogs then they'll start leaving comments back. And their visitors see your link. So if you're willing to run your own blog (Wordpress, Pixel Post, etc.) then there are still ways to make sure you get the feedback you want.

Just from a quick look on the free photoblog hosting side of things there's Aminus3, Photoposts (which from my 2 second viewing looks like it has the same "My photo's on the front page" kind of thing going, and this page consisting of a list of photoblog hosting places.

Although it's changed a little in the last few years, the community is one of the things I like most about Flickr. Flickr integrates with many blogging platforms.

The DeviantArt photography section may be of interest.
