Blog POSTS on a Link List

[walrus]

I'm going to refrain from commenting in specifics until a few others have a chance first but I've got to say that UW has come up with a concept that I have been tossing around a bit as what I think the ideal blog directory would look like.

Posts limited to one submit a day. In otherwords an aggregator that doesn't get spammed.

It maybe a little early to worry about such matters but a question for UW. With submitting posts, do the posts themselves get submitted into a specific category or does the blog get submitted into a specific category. The reason I ask, is the blog that I would likely be subbing from is a general type of blog and could be big tits one day, solo girl the next, fetish the following, etc.

There would be no blog category. At least, I'm not leaning toward one right now. The submitter would submit the post to which ever category seems appropriate. I would rely on the submitter to submit to the category which benefits them most, as I can promise you, assuming I get a fair amount of daily submissions, I won't have time to read every post.

Also, to alleviate the fear of blog surfers getting lost amongst the links and not being able to find more blog posts, each different type of link is contained within a box of a different background color. Blog posts are a lovely lilac, AVS sites are a light blue, and so on. And Ponygirl suggested today a type of filtering which I had all but forgetten about and am now developing. Anyone wanting only blog posts, rather than having to scroll through all of the multi-colored boxes, will be able to click on "Blog Post" and be taken to a page (hopefully) of only blog post links from that particular category. Of course, I'll do the same for free sites, galleries, etc.

Oh, to clarify, the link's title would link directly to that post's page of your blog, the way a free site's link would link to the free site. I've no intention of aggregating and storing posts.

Ok, aggregator was the wrong term but it was the closest one I could come up with at the moment.

ok, I had this huge long post then my kids went ballistic so I lost it. The post, my cool...

anyway - now that things have quieted down, I'll give it another try..

Since an occasional post is all I seem to get done these days, it doesn't sound like too much work to submit it

I like the idea of submitting posts in categories - although sometimes it's hard to tell what category it would go into...would you be looking only for themed posts then? With a personal blog it's a little harder to categorize things. Of course, you're not looking for every post to get subbed, so maybe I'd leave it for ones that are more themed.

I think it sounds like a great idea, I'm all for different ways to get traffic & exposure. Plus I like the whole idea - why not offer the surfer different ways to see what they want. Kind of like a one stop porn shop

I had some more questions but I still need to re-gather my thoughts lol

Now this is why I'm glad I brought it to the board. This is an issue I hadn't yet considered. I really like the more chit-chatty type of blog posts that aren't all hard sell, so maybe I'll be able come up with a little something.

Thank you, Yum. It's a project I've had on my mind for quite awhile and it's finally taking shape. I've spoiled myself by allowing only partner submissions for quite some time, but this one will be open to the public. Yup, this will be the one that's going to kill me.
