1) I always had negative feelings towards Thumblogger, nothing personal, I just saw it as a free host and why not use your own host who offers Wordpress. I decided to give it a go despite my negative feelings and in under 24 hours I have had a complete change around. Twan hats off to you, Thumblogger is far more than a free host, the functions and tools and the possibilities are endless, I cannot wait to start my next Thumblogger blog. I should have known better to judge a service prior to trying it.

2) Imagevenue - Once you get your first sign-up go and spend it on the $19.95 version (advert free) if you intend on sharing images between several blogs.

3) I know the service has not yet been covered but have a play with RSS2Anywhere the tool given out by Thumblogger. Amazing is all I can say, following this project I have started http://sex-world.thumblogger.com/ and I have set three affiliate RSS feeds into RSS2Anywhere to update this blog and the two posts you will see (or 4 depending on when the RSS2 next update) are sponsor feeds.

Thanks Thomas, so far so good but if the project finished here I have already learnt a fantastic amount. One question I would put to you for your feedback...

On my http://sex-world.thumblogger.com/ I did intend to have several categories, Teens, Amateur, Lesbian, etc, etc... However, as the RSS2 only updates the 'General' category and as I am in love with the RSS2 as it will leave me free to develop the feeders and add my own content 'when' and 'if' rather than 'have to', what do you think to the idea of creating lets say for example a 'Lesbian Page' just like the movie page and a 'Teen Page' and so on. Each page rather than having updated blog entries have static content with links to sponsors and maybe even another blog dedicated to that theme?

Thanks

Categories are great and I will cover it more in depth later. I have it in my outline soon.

Thanks for the kind words there to. I have a outline for 12 weeks as outlined in the first post plus some other things I am working on for everyone. Was slow getting here tonite as I just spent 4 hours on plane getting back home here to Key West from business trip. And your page ideal is very good. Doing this you are creating niche content and learning well. This is what I am trying to teach. As much as possible keep Joe Porn Surfer on your site or circle of sites. The more you can do this the better off you will be in the long run and the more sign ups you will have.

Thumblogger and RSS anywhere are simply amazing. Twan is also. I thank him all the time and I appreciate him greatly. His services are the best thing that has happened to adult marketing in the last 20 years.
