Poll: Do you want weekly photo topic ideas?

We know some of you are photobloggers, or like to just post a photo to your blog instead of exclusively writing, now and then.

We’re considering offering a photo topic each week. Is this worth it to you? Or would you prefer a bonus writing topic each week?

  3. When I write about my knitting, whether finished or in progress, I like to include pictures of the yarn, the needles, and or the project whatever stage of completion. And getting good ideas for a weekly photo would bring a little spice and variety to the knitting blog!

  6. I am a photo blogger, doesn’t mean I don’t like writing, but I am an amateur photographer, just trying to get some good natural pictures, and I am hoping this topic would help me. I would love to receive such posts…

  7. I like this idea of photo blogging. no time to care about laws and needless complicated mess. Should be worried only if we are abusing or making commercial gains else there is no threat.

    As of photo blogging, it gets a BIG thumbs up.

  8. I have an iPhone app free to download called “The Monday Picture”, basically I post a new image to it every Monday morning to help you start the week. So this might provide me with additional inspiration. If you have an iPhone please download it and tell me what you think. All feedback is welcome. I find getting people to express an opinion is actually quite hard to do! If you don’t have an iPhone I also send it out by email. info at themondaypicture dot com. Remove the gaps replace the words and were in business.

  10. Along with a photo once a week, maybe what about once a month doing a vlog? It’s something that i’ve always wanted to do but always been unsure of what to do etc,

  13. I’m a terrible writer, but an average or slightly above average photog. I started blogging to improve my written communication skills and also to share some ongoing photographic projects I have going so this would be perfect for me.

    I’m all in.

  14. Could these daily post topics be published a little bit earlier than at the moment?

    People in different time zones could, more easily, take a part to this daily posting experience. Now, some of us have to wait untill the evening, before the topic of each day is anounced. This way, it is more challenging to be writing each day, when you have to write and post late at night. And it doesn’t feel so inspiring to be using yesterdays topic idea in the next morning…

    And thanks, this Daily Post idea is great! I like the weekly photo topic idea a lot as well! 🙂

  16. That is just an awesome idea. It will be very interesting to see the different interpretations that people will come up with from just one photo

  17. My understanding of the term ‘photoblogger’ is someone who takes their own photos and posts them to their blog. Posting other peoples photos to a blog risks breaking copyright law and a possible claim for damages. Don’t be mislead by terms such as ‘fair use’ and ‘public domain’. I would urge anyone considering posting other peoples work in any form on their blog to visit the ’10 Big Myths about copyright’ website:

  20. I would love it. But tell us who is participating in it, so we can go see what other people post. I use to do this a few years ago. It was great seeing what people did with the subject.

      1. I think people should try to leave a comment with a link to their post on the topic when they write about it (any topic here, including photo posts). That way we can visit each other’s posts on the topic easily. I know there is the tag feature, but that leaves out those of us that self-host. If everyone left comments with a link to their post, that would include those of us that self-host our blogs using WordPress and not just the ones that blog on WordPress.com. At least that would work until someone figures out a better way to track us all. 🙂

  23. Gizmodo have a weekly photo challenge, perhaps a side blog to this could be set up to announce competitions and have users submit? – They can to the blog and their own too whilst sharing their creations 🙂
