Erotic Artist Workshop

We have plenty of registered members, but no artists are posting, so I guess I better lead by example

One of the problems of artists groups is that unfortunately, they aren’t actively promoted, which is why the traffic always stays small and artists lose interest – I don’t intend this to happen in this case  (But at the same time, we need active posters so people will stick around)

My first post as EAWB admin! I’ve made some slight changes to the sidebar menu.

• Did some cosmetic adjustments to the lower side menu.
• Added the Register/Site Admin menu option.
• Added a Write A Post link so users don’t have to go through the admin Dashboard to enter a post.

Want to do a test post? Tick the “edit timestamp” and backdate it to 1969 and that way it won’t turn up on the main page
Thanks to Syck Myndz (Who is now an admin here too!) I’ve added some nifty plugins, here’s a test of one of them, a “sticky” post for stuff that needs to be read by everyone.

There’s a login link now added to the sidebar, which also should lead to a register page for those who aren’t registered yet (But there are no hidden areas to non subscribers, it’s just for posting, so if you registered, please post some of your work, even if it’s reposts) A lot of the blogging jargon “permalinks, post slugs, etc” is confusing but the basic operation is pretty simple
Speaking of older posts, if anyone has stored older jam galleries and wants to place them in the galleries section, all you need to do is stick them in a zip file and upload them through the AniGA plugin for some nifty looking automatic galleries with slideshows

Individual images added to posts will be included automatically in the gallery visible on the sidebar and linked to posts, so adding them one by one is cool too.

How do you like it? The previous one had some nifty ajax effects but they kind of got tiresome quickly. The shoutbox isn’t gone but I need to add it manually to the theme, and I don’t really know if it’s a good idea…

I’ve also hidden the default wordpress image upload in favour of the photopress upload, I think having 2 separate upload functions is confusing – all images uploaded via photopress appear on the image gallery and random thumbnain on the sidebar, which I think is pretty cool

Ok I switched back to the Zen theme

Ok now the aniga plugin is accessible to members! If you want to create a gallery page like this one you can go into the plugin page “aniga” create an album (And a category if you want) and upload a zip file containing the images (FTP upload isn’t going to be possible even though it’s shown as an option)
Also who wants to be a moderator? You get to delete other people’s posts and lord it over them!!

trying “write post”
it sez “post slug” on the right
Send trackbacks to:
not sure what those are

add custom field – hmmm, could be the start of some real shenanigans

edit by hentaikid: You have to hit “send to editor” after you upload or the image won’t be included in the post, I added it in. The post slug is just the name of the url of the post i.e. http://www.eroticartistworkshop.com/eaw/whatever-the-post-slug-is usually the title

And you can edit the timestamp to backdate or forwarddate posts, as you saw

So…eroticartistsworkshop became a dot com?

Looks great. As for my first post here, a try on the picture-upload.

Register here to post

Once registered you can add images via the photopress plugin  (Small icon on the top right of the posting box) html image tags from your own hosting or the built in wordpress image upload below the posting box. The image galleries on the right hand side under the navigation tab can only be used by administrators so maybe they’d be useful for jams.

The tagboard might be useful for casual conversation (Like a chatroom)  while feedback to artists should go in comments.

Commenting does not require registration, only posting does

You can use the “more” tag to hide images below a cut, like in livejournal (See this post for an example) this is a good way to hide a hardcore image you don’t want to show without warning
Categories aren’t filled yet, but once they are it should be easy to sort posts by them, feel free to suggest categories, the more the merrier – in fact I just added a bunch right now, moderators should be able to add them on the fly
