FList question

[johnridley]

I worry that I might be bothering people with my posts with photos and videos.
Should I:
1) move RepRap stuff to a separate blog (probably WordPress on my domain)
2) put it behind a cut
3) leave it as is

A custom group isn't an option since it has to be public.

Anything that I post with more than one photo I will probably put behind a cut.

Leave one picture out and cut-tag the rest - I'm interested in reading about it, even if I'll never make one.

Doesn't bother me.... I don't really read those posts, but I have no problem briefly admiring the picture then paging past. (:

As is is fine with me.

Leave it as it is. If people don't want to read it they can just opt out.

I like reading about the 3D printer stuff. I don't know if I'll ever make one, though - I don't really need any more expensive hobbies...

I like it, please continue the posts. You might cut tag image when there are more than one, though.

I'm filing it under the heading "someday" and have been reading with interest. (I also don't really have time to read elsewhere, 3 social media sites seem to be my extreme limit).

So my option is 3, and I say if you're 'bothering' people geeking about something really cool, they probably shouldn't be on your flist.

It's your blog. If people don't like it, they can skip it.

I'm enjoying the posts. Picture-wise, I have the option checked to not show large pix on my friends feed, so I click onto the full post to see them.

Agreed with most everyone else; the way you are doing it is just fine. I appreciate seeing exactly what sorts of things a RepRap can realistically make, and the problems that one runs into.

Incidentally, one thing I've been wondering about is whether, instead of hot-melting plastic onto a substrate, it might be possible to electrodeposit a metal (like, say, copper) using a needle anode and an appropriate plating solution. It could even use a spool of copper wire for the anode, although it might be tricky to keep it from contacting the workpiece and shorting out. It would be a lot slower than the plastic, but still - metal parts!

I'm good with what you're doing and concur that if there's more than one pic or the post is super long that a cut tag would be nice. Wouldn't want you to relocate, for sure.

Leave as it is. Although the cut lag after the first photo would be nice.
