Is it OK to plug your blog or Flickr here?

... interesting responses from RFF members here...

Anyway I did look at your blog and flickr account and my initial reaction is your recent street photography is better than the average. I'm not a "travelogue" guy so the India shots were interesting but the SP was your strong material.

I wonder how many of the people commenting here actually looked at your work....

I like looking at blogs and personal gallery sites. Flickr ... not so much (it seems to drive a sameness which spawns image-overload syndrome.)

That's how I feel about flickr as well. I wish flickr go through the accounts and edit them.

I get annoyed when someone starts a new post just to plug a blog without providing a peek/excerpt/summary of what they're plugging. Give me something to see/read rather than just "go here to read".

Usually when someone does this I go out of my way to leave an asinine comment. Most of them get moderated but if one goes though a month...then it is all worth it.

Some time ago there was a "new member" who just plugged his own review site/blog,
that's just advertising and IMO wrong.

OTOH I like to look at the photo's of the members here, kind of puts them in perspective.

This exactly.
IMO, I don't like posts where someone plugs an image which is 6000px wide with "Look at my photos" or "hey guys, just posting some shots".

On a similar note, two of the big turn-offs for me, threads with huge images that cause slow loading and excessive horizontal scrolling and threads created to shill for a personal blog (keep it in your sig).

Ugh!

What sucks most in any event is a great photo with the largest size of 640x480 and a watermark clear across the middle... What's the point?

Unfortunately, there are many out there who have no compunction about stealing an image for their commercial sites. I know, I've already been down that path.
