I’m going back to using my blog/art/whatever site (radiochio.com) as the hub for everything it was always intended to be. Stuff from there (blog posts, art, whatever) will most likely end up crossposted back to whatever the social site of the moment ends up being. But ultimately that will always be the main place everything originates from. I can always hook it up to crosspost basically wherever I want it to, and has the added bonus of being something I control, so I won’t have to worry about losing it all in the future. I got away from posting there because I wasn’t sure what I wanted the identity of that site to be, and it’s kind of meandered around in terms of branding, but no, enough is enough and that’s going to be the go-to place for my stuff. A lot of this decision comes from reading through a bunch of Kiriska’s articles on website and social media stuff, mainly this one. They have a lot of good posts on the topic, definitely recommend.

I’m really hoping I can somehow re-cultivate my audience and get them to come back there, but that’s an ongoing process and we’ll see what we figure out.

As far as social posting: I’m…not exactly giving up on it, but I am giving it the side-eye. That’s where most of my audience has come from, so it’s not nothing, but again, I like having all my posts and content under my own control. I have a bad feeling about Twitter in the long term, and I’ve had difficulty matching the success I had there on other sites. It won’t stop me from trying, and I have gotten a small trickle of folks following me over here and a handful of other places, so I don’t think it’s completely hopeless, but, again, uncertainty! I’ve got a running list of links on my website so if Tumblr isn’t your ideal follow spot, something there will be, or heck, follow the RSS on radiochio.com and you’ll never be out of the loop.

Comics will be staying on their own domains, but I’ll probably start popping up update posts on radio chio so there’s, once again, a central place to find all that stuff. I thought about moving everything to the same domain but it’s messy and confusing.

So, tldr;

Radiochio.com is going to come back to being the main hub for everything I make/do/whatever, and is the most ideal place you can keep up with what I’m doing

I’m not leaving social media, but I’m going to try and be better about putting my proverbial eggs in multiple baskets from here on

Nothing is really changing with my comics and where they’re posting, but again, following them on their own sites or on radiochio.com is going to be the best way to follow them

Working on setting up a batch of comic page files today, and sometimes I come across gems like this in the script from Delade and it is a true shame that there isn’t a better way of sharing these, but I died.
