First cross-blog posts: Mother series

 Yesterday, while browsing around the Web, waiting for the clocks to strike midnight in New York, so I could post more at Tumblr, I saw several nice covers in the "Mother" (MOT-) series, and so decided to make it my first full cross Blogger/Tumbler series. I collected and translated the data during the day, then uploaded to Tumblr & Blogger simultaneously last night and this morning. This cross-posting worked fine, until I hit Blogger's post limit, after which I had to verify I wasn't a bot every time I tried to save an entry.

I'm still working out my philosophy with regards to the JAV Archive. With the Pink Film ones, my goal is completion. That's an improbable goal, but not a completely impossible one. However it is literally impossible for one guy to make a complete database of JAV. My JAV database is intended just to reflect my own personal tastes.

This MOT- series has some very eye-catching, lovely ladies in it, and nice covers-- as you see throughout tonight's post-- but it also had a lot that didn't interest me. I'm not sure how to go about handling series like that. If I'm doing a series, I might as well do the whole thing, which is what I did in this case... But now I've got several entries of videos that don't suit my taste at all... and that doesn't feel "right"... so in the future I might just pick out the videos that I like, and leave the series incomplete...

Another new aspect of my posting is that I have set Tumblr to echo my posts live on Twitter. I noticed that when I was in the heat of posting-- about 40 posts within three hours this morning-- I lost two followers. I see this happen a lot: I gain followers through my musings on film, music or other things, and then they disappear when I post on JAV/Pink related stuff. I imagine I get a few porn-hound followers too, who roll their eyes in boredom when I start prattling on about opera... I guess you can't please all the people all the time. And, on the other hand, I think I've gained a couple followers at Tumblr through these Twitter posts, and someone did "Favorite" and Re-tweet one of these post/Tweets, so I guess it's a good thing in the long run.

My IMDb work has slowed down while I've been working Tumblr into my posting routine during the past month. Today, after I finished posting the MOT- series to the blogs, I started submitting them to IMDb. I'm a little over half-way done with that now. I should finish in the morning, then link the IMDb pages from the blog entries. So, with the "Year of the JAV" about a quarter of the way through, I've got my posting routine about worked out. I don't have it down to as fast as I'd like-- where I can see a video cover, grab it, translate the data & post it within a minute-- but it's getting there. I was able to get this 74-entry series onto both blogs within a day... and now almost at IMDb half a day later... so it should all run more efficiently from now on.
