#website presence

[madhukumarc]

Which is better for creating an online presence, social media profiles, or a personal website?

Both social media profiles and personal website can contribute to a compelling online presence, but each serves different purposes. 

Here's a comparison you need to be aware of:

Social Media Profiles:

Engagement: Social media platforms allow for direct interaction with a broad audience, fostering engagement and community building.

Visibility: They offer immediate visibility through ads and organically by being consistent, including the potential for content to go viral, reaching a large audience quickly.

Networking: Social media is a powerful channel for networking with industry professionals and potential collaborators.

Content Sharing: Ideal for sharing short-form content, updates, and multimedia in a more informal setting.

Cost: Social media platforms are generally free to use, making them a cost-effective option for building an online presence.

Do you know? - “Creating SEO-friendly social media profiles and content will enhance your visibility on search engines and draw organic traffic to your website” – Search Engine Land

Personal Website:

Control: A personal website provides complete control over branding, design, and content, offering a more professional and customizable platform.

Credibility: A well-maintained personal website can enhance credibility and authority within a specific industry or niche.

Types of Content: Suited for in-depth articles, case studies, short-form posts, long-form posts, and other content types that may not fit within the constraints of social media platforms.

SEO and Discoverability: Offers better potential for search engine optimization (SEO) and discoverability through targeted keywords and content organization.

Longevity: Unlike social media profiles, which can be deleted or suspended, a personal website is more permanent and can serve as a long-term asset.

Remember - “If your home page is the front door to your business, SEO is the highway customers must travel to get there” – Conductor

Pro-Tip: Simultaneously establishing social media profiles and a personal website is essential in today's competitive digital marketing landscape, ensuring a strategic advantage over competitors.

In conclusion, while social media profiles excel in immediate engagement and broad reach, a personal website offers greater control, credibility, and potential for in-depth content and SEO.

Many individuals and businesses find a combination of both to be the most effective approach, leveraging the strengths of each platform to build a comprehensive online presence.

Ultimately, the choice depends on your specific goals and preferences.

Hii :D

Yeess I'm not dead!! I somehow survived the year and during it I kinda realized that social media is quite... exhausting.. so I stepped away from the pressure of constantly having to create stuff for a bit.

I think I can come back now but still need to think how I'm going to change some things around here to make the hobby of posting more fun for me again!

I haven't drawn that much but I have a few things :3 For example my little vampire wasp pilot boy <3 I designed him around 2 years ago for Halloween and drew him this year again

I should have my old written down ideas for him somewhere.

#Invader Zim #IZ #Dib #Pilot Dib #Wasp Dib #my design #creepys art #creepy talks #The random 1 am urge to just log onto tumblr after months of not visiting this website #I have written so many drafts for my comeback #but eh in the end I think just posting a pilot Dib is the best way to announce my presence again :3

Edward -> Èideard

hello dear friends! just letting you know that i have decided to try out the scots gaelic spelling of my name for a while to see if i prefer it to the english one. i deliberated about the matter for a long time before settling on edward but i have been Gazing Wistfully at the alternate spelling ever since then so i figured i may as well give it a chance given that i am as much scottish as i am english in all except physical location. in my accent the pronunciation is the same, and most of you call me ned anyway, so there will probably be very little change on the whole, but [vague gesture]. who am i to resist a little E with an accent

#ghost post #i hope you are all doing well my beloved friends i am sorry as usual that i have been so quiet and bad at answering things #i have just started a master's degree in an entirely different city so i have been uh . Mildly stressed. but i am ok now! hooray :D #hopefully i should be on more often soon im so bad at making my presence known on here #dont be deceived i am on here multiple times a day every day forever. but i am bad at poasting #<- he is on the poasting website #Any Way that is all i had to say specifically :) i may well change the spelling back in the future but i like this one for now. we shall se #not enough characters to do the final E in See so i had to cut the nose off my smiley face </3 so cruel this worl

March 4, 2024 Edit of this still relevant post from February 27, 2024

For those that view any of my online presences (including my blogs)…Um, this is something for you to know.

Please save this post so it doesn’t get buried by queue.

My& Current Health Situation

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

I wish to communicate this to y’all now so that…I don’t end up worrying anyone when this happens. It may have been noticeable by some folks that I’m dragging, heavily. I’m not having a good time right now with my body. With this comes with an onion of issues detailing certain aspects of what I’m going through.

I know I have a lot of obligations. Not only as a creative and content creator; but as a friend, a mentor, Guardian or even older peer, and myself. I’ve neglected myself for too long. I have been noticing my vitality decrease; and my CFS and POTS flaring up further.

Social Justice is something I’m always perceiving and sensitive to; and as such, the strain I’ve noticed too late has been worsening. Includes many emotional meltdowns and outbursts from me that I can no longer control or hold back.

Trying to figure out how to exactly sort through the mass tangles of my traumatized emotional and mental state isn’t as simple as I hoped for me. While I’m creatively burned out, I am suffering Autistic burnout. A double whammy of all things.

I’m finding myself getting “stuck,” unable to physically move for hours at a time. I’d move upstairs to eat something but end up being there for what’s normally an half hour task…for nearly 2+ hours. Even so, trying to force movement to do tasks that is considered “everyone can do these” is mentally painful and physically locking. Even if I have to desperately use the bathroom when I’m about to fall asleep, my headmates (AKA alters) have to switch to co-front or “snatch me back” in order to get my body moving. That’s with the sudden rocket spike in heart rate and blood pressure, and loss of balance (at the very least).

I’m already struggling to cope with many things due to the fact that I haven’t been able to draw much at all; or create anything and write anything. Especially trying desperately to fulfill my word on things I had the energy to do, but no longer do. So much of my struggles I can’t properly transmute. It’s so upsetting.

Thus, there’s going to be a sudden and abrupt shift in posting or messaging. I don’t know when. But it is coming.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

(Especially since I’ve been feeling mania over the weekend. All weekend, Saturday and Sunday, I manic cleaned large portions of certain areas I occupy as well as my housemate. Today I’m feeling the aching in my joints badly, with my calves swearing hell at me. I’m wearing my wrist brace too, I just…I’m rambling.)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

I wish for you to know what’s happening if you don’t see or hear from me, my headmates, or any of my online presences (as depicted here: https://cjoatbysamwise.com/cjoats-links ) No one is being forgotten. I’m not abandoning anyone. I’m not ghosting anyone. What I do know (still coming to terms with it ngl) is I need to stop, fully stop, and recover. It’s looking like my body is going to do that for me by force. It’s going to be abrupt and sudden to the inconvenience of many, including my housemate, unfortunately.

I don’t know how long this will last. But I don’t know how long I’ll be able to keep “hustling” like this. Does this sound repetitive? I wanted to communicate before suddenly I’m unable.

Does this sound repetitive? I’ll end it here. I wanted to communicate before suddenly I’m unable.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

I’ll end it here with how you can support me while I’m down, only able to and wish to (I’m aware financial situations are a big struggle at the moment, there is no pressure to.)

Provide support by these links:

Thank you for reading until the end; have an awesome week ahead. Please remember to hydrate and eat. 🫶🏽❤️‍🩹

still can't see jstor without remembering aaron swartz. don't think it really needs or deserves a fandom of any kind altho it has gotten marginally better at access since then.

may his memory be for a blessing.

#that website is not your friend. it has blood on its hands. #tbc in no way am i anti using jstor. in many cases it is one of the only available options #just be aware that despite its friendly tumblr presence it does not have your interests at heart #edification #open access

Hellllooo Vincent! I am absolutely totally not Anybody you may know in real life. :} I am going to leave a fish here. Look after him

🐠 <- the fish.

Who are you trying to fool, Krueger? Your childish demeanour and typing quirks are enough to let the cat out of the bag. Or should I say "fish" in this case? Given the amount of pointless things you do on a daily basis, I am starting to suspect that you might have chosen an imaginary major—there is just too much free time on your hands for an actual student.

With that said, I did not ask for the fish, nor am I interested in taking care of it. Moreover, from now on, I explicitly request that you do not get me involved in any of your fishy business. The best possible solution I could offer in case you are desperate to get rid of this fish is to inquire if @rmu-victor would like to keep it. However, I insist on not being in close proximity to any of your pets or belongings whatsoever.

this website lists every creative & performer who signed the letter to the Biden administration spreading propaganda about beheaded babies & mass sexual violence. i suggest reading it & taking note of those on it that are relevant to your interests + those around you, & then fiscally divesting if not outright boycotting them going forward.

Hello! I hope that you are doing well!

I just wanted to send you a question regarding the amount of power Rhea has in Fódlan since something came to my mind. You know how during Edelgard's coronation, she said to her father that, "The Archbishop of the Church of Seiros would normally act as witness, but my professor will fill that role instead"?

Unless I missed something [or am overthinking], do you believe that Rhea was even there to witness Ionius' coronation?

We were told in the game that it had been ages since a member of House Hresvelg enrolled into the Officers Academy as well as that there had recently been a rift between the Adrestian Empire and the Church of Seiros.

Therefore, to me at least, that implied that said rift had been going on for a while. And I do not see why they would allow her there if such a thing was going on. Yet, Rhea does not retaliate against this as far as I know. Then there is the fact that Edelgard is allowed to be coronated without Byleth's presence. The Southern Church was dismantled, too, so…I think it is safe to say that there was not an official to witness her from there as well. lol

To put it simply, it feels very contradictory to me and adds a crack into the "Rhea controls Fódlan" perspective.

Hi!

I agree, that NPC going all "the empire and hthe church cut ties eons agao that's why supreme leader is the first imperial heir to attend since ages" suggests Rhea wasn't very welcomed in Enbarr.

FWIW the Nopes book about the Southern Church incident reveals the Emperor of that time already wanted to cut ties with the Central Church - and used this rebellion (which was more or less a Varley daughter wanting to have a role instead of letting her bother inherit everything?) as an excuse to finally give them the boot.

In a nutshell, I heavily doubt Rhea was around when Ionius was coronated, if her Church was already "not welcomed" by the time the Southern Church was disbanded.

The Archbishop acting as witness might be just some sort of old ceremonial thing, just like the "covenant of the red blood and the white sword", maybe all coronations try to renact the "oath" Wilhelm took/swore to Seiros when she presumably made him Emperor of Adrestia? And the Archbishop acts as a stand in for Seiros (even if we know better!) when the oath is sworn again by Willy's descendants?

As you pointed out, the Archbishop being present or not is merely decorum, since nowhere the game suggests that in the non-CF routes, Supreme Leader's coup coronation isn't regular or anything.

Rhea controlling Fodlan isn't backed up by canon, Adrestia has been doing its own thing for several centuries, the CoS only provides help (the game doesn't tell us what it is!) to Faerghus : Dimitri becomes King not because Rhea crowns or splashes oil on him, but because he is the Crown Prince and the last heir of the previous King. As for the Alliance, it does its own thing without her input!

#dovehearts-blog #replies #FE16 #Rhea/the CoS controls Fodlan is a take sponsorised by NoA and Treehouse #even in the european websites we didn't get that shit to describe Fodlan #on that regard we're closer to the jp description of the continent than to the US one for once #I'd say Rhea has a complicated relationship with Adrestian Emperors #she can't help but be disappointed because they're not Wilhelm and will never equal him #only he has the 'great' title lol #and they don't follow the CoS and its principles like remember when they tried to invade Brigid/Dagda? Or fed northeners to beasts for fun? #and yet they're the scions of Wilhelm so maybe she can call them her allies? If she needs help they will provide? (we know how it ends lol) #in the half lizard lycaon AU she has even more conflicted feelings bcs #those people aren't willy nor lycaon when it was him who was supposed to be there #everytime she witnesses a new coronation she remembers this coronation happens #because her kid was torn apart by the very people she's crowning #children aren't their parents she knows it and yet there's still that small heartache #bcs Ionius 1 to Ionius 9 aren't Lycaon #back to canon i guess the CoS's presence in Adrestia is mostly ceremonial #to replay the willy'n'seiros alliance #but nothing as important as if Rhea says tut-tut the Emperor cannot be crowned #rhea stuff

got the posting anxiety bad tonight

#click clack #ok a peak into my thought process and anxiety here we go #ok so the art is almost done and up to standard I would post onto my art blog #BUT for some reason the thought of posting art of my ocs there scares me #because even tho it’s my art blog in my mind it’s the equivalent to a art gallery that demands being detached????? from the art #like once I share it there it’s no longer ‘mine’ but to the public #and my ocs (plus the stories that go with them) are like the closest to my heart and relinquishing them feels like a lot #a part of my imagination that I spent so much time with developing over the years to be placed up for judgement… #so then the solution could be to put it here on my personal! the online space cozy enough and filled with other posts that could easily bury #the original posts I put here #but there goes my other dilemma. i don’t want them too associated with my personal for if one day i do muster up something for publication #my big fear is that ppl will find this space and go thru everything. the fear of being perceived and judged 😵‍💫 #all the hypotheticals and anxiety for something that may not even happen #dumb mind problems my head made up 🙄 #anyway writing it out helped lol I’m posting it to my art blog I decided 👍 #I have to work on getting that blog to be comfortable space to post… i should lower that silly self imposed standard I set for myself #and be whatever about ppl being aware of my online presences #maybe… [grinding my teeth] I should post my messy sketches onto my art blog… #I should take my friends suggestion and make a website to feature my ocs…🤔 #idk my only other solution that doesn’t feel viable to mitigate the anxiety is to slowly introduce my ocs in the background of setting art #just a slow drip until they are in the forefront #bleghhh whatever much ado about nothing it’s like I never posted my ocs ever when I have indeed posted them before on both places ( º＿º ) #I’m realizing it happens too when I post too much fanart in a row… I have curator disease??? 🫨 #or something I used to be very particular about what order I reblog stuff like it used to be by color and content balanced out #I still do to a lesser degree… but it used to be pretty bad #post order compulsion???? #the fear of being abrupt and incohesive in between posts… #if you read this far thanks you can now see how much this consumes me 🙃

#this is delightful #i really am enjoying the newish trend of tracking down sources and creators of iconic internet things #also i find it very funny and crazy that people finding old websites #can't seem to process the concept of personal webpages #so many times in these sorts of things i see creators puzzling over 'why this was made' #because we're so steeped in corporate hosted social media sites and presences #that younger folks are just too distanced from the idea of just #making a personal site with your own random stuff and interests #disconnected from a Facebook or tiktok curated page #go make a geocities site and recapture being free! #this has gotten away from me somewhat #but i really liked this video and all the effort that went into it #i remember being in 7th grade picking through various rudimentary search engines #because google didn't exist and different sites trawled different content #looking for cool gifs and art #because little pixelated dragon gifs were the coolest damn thing to me #yes I'm old as shit‚ sorry #and a lot of this video brought back some of that #i miss it #long live jazz skull #Youtube #skull #skeleton #Halloween #doot skull #trumpet skeleton #spooky gifs

musicians please dont pay for soundcloud

every time im reminded of soundcloud im put into a blinding rage because of their policy to DELETE all the tracks you upload while under a payment plan once you stop paying. i paid for the unlimited plan that was like 120 dollars a year for 4 years and uploaded like a hundred tracks and once i stopped paying soundcloud made every single one except for the last 180 minutes private even to myself. meaning, anyone who clicks a link (including me on my own fucking account) to a track that was "hidden" will get the same page you get when a track was actually deleted. they can only be restored if i pay the full unlimited plan fee again, and then only temporarily. corporate has also pushed several times to lower the already pointless oppressive free upload limit. if you make music and want to start posting it somewhere, youre better off using youtube and like find ffmpeg commands to make audio into videos

#it also sucks a lot because the visibility on soundcloud is really good #the algorithm there is genuinely decent or at least it was back when i was uploading there a few years ago #its a fine website to use if you want to have no presence over your work and just throw audio out there on a bunch of accounts #otherwise its worse than useless #serious
