Flickr deletes a 5-year old PRO account
Came across this article on TechCrunch this morning and thought I would pass it along.
At least if you manage to smoke your own photoblog you have no one to blame but yourself. Very scary stuff.

Flickr vs. A Photoblog
In my last post about where BOPB is heading in 2010 a long-time follower of the blog made a comment which I found quite interesting. Basically his point was that photoblogs are dead and that Flickr (has been) and still is the place to be when it comes to posting your images online. Bob was...
BOPB 2010
I guess by now it’s become pretty evident that Blog on Photoblogs fell off the track a wee bit at the end of 2009. I’ve been spending quite a bit of time thinking about where I would like the blog to go in 2010 and would love to hear your thoughts. If you have any...
Giving it away – following my own advice
A few posts back, I suggested giving away your work with the long-term goal of building a base of "raving fans". I've followed my own advice and started (slowly) doing this on my own photoblog.
Hacked WordPress site
So the other day, I get an email from a friend of mine asking me to have a look at her blog because some of the links, which were working a few days ago are now dropping everyone on a 400 bad request page. Before I even have a chance to open up the site,...
Tagging your images in Google Image Search
Just yesterday I came across a post on the Google Webmaster Central Blog which I though quite a few of you would find interesting. Google has recently introduced a simple way to filter image search results based on the license associated with the image. I think that they could have gone much further like how...
Giving it away
So I stumbled across this article today by Trent Reznor (yes, that Trent Reznor) and it struck me that the same rules could apply to photography on the Internet. Let’s face it, for most of us this is just an expensive hobby – and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. But if you want more out...
photo.shoq, photographer profile
I think that the thing that instantly struck me about Jasper's photoblog was his sheer dedication to photography. His photoblog has been going strong now for 5 years (1840 photos), and he shares some great advice with us on how to keep inspired and publishing your work! Have a read, and make sure...
WordPress security issue
I came across an interesting post this afternoon about a possible security issue with WordPress. Since so many of you use WP to run your photoblogs, I figured I would pass along a link. The fix is super simple, and I have implemented it on all my sites without issue…would recommend that you check it...
Getting your foot in the door – Your first gallery presentation
So a few weeks back now, I got a question from Jason about getting his work into a gallery the first time around. I forwarded his question onto a friend on mine you runs a local gallery here in Toronto called The Cryptic Canvas, and she was kind enough to give me some pointers. There...
Building an online print business from your photoblog
As most of you know by now, one of my main goals has always been to build a print business based on my photoblog (although you’d never know that based on the number of recent updates!). There’s a great (albeit short) article in this month’s PDN magazine which describes several photographer’s experiences while trying to...
