Vlog #3 : What Are We Doing Here? | Solivagus of PWG

Hey All - It's Solivagus (Drew De Jesus) here, your friendly admin floater who just goes around doing stuff.  I noticed this question posed on facebook "What is this group for" or some such.  Don't quote me.  Even though there are quotes.

In any case I took it upon my (pretty) self to put my (beautiful) face on a video and explain to you guys the difference between this place and TOS (the other site).  I don't wanna point fingers (bubblews) but sometimes it's hard to avoid naming (bubblews) names when it comes down it.

There's a difference between what we're doing here.  And I hope that this video explains it well.

Thank you for watching and continuing to be the most impressive upstart blog I've seen in a long time.  It's not long until we all stop posting introductory posts and start getting the hang of it all - providing a steady stream of content to the masses, who YEARN for knowledge!

I have also seen some worry about whether or not involvement here will result in your being abolished from the pay system of bubblews.  IF that were the case...

Let's say it was true... that they are going to black mark us all... worst case scenario is realized...

well...

Is that really the kind of organization you want to belong to?  Not I, said the fly to the spider.

Chew on it,
Drew De Jesus

FreeDigitalPicutres : Beautifully Colored Bush Leaves

 Hey PWG

The latest update to my freedigitalpictures blog has five photos of these really beautiful leaves I saw outside my house.  It was nighttime so I had a hard time getting the light and focus to cooperate but I don't think anyone's going to use these anyway.

http://freedigitalpictures.blogspot.com/2014/02/very-colorful-leaves-wide-focus.html

If you are like me and you gather up as many amazing nature shots as you can to put into a folder and cycle on your desktop backgrounds, then these make great backgrounds, trust me.  And there's even a vertical shot that looks amazing on my iphone background.

I hope you guys are enjoying using PWG, or at least figuring out how to.

I think tomorrow I am going to write up a how to guide unless Eden beats me to it. 

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an adorable dog that is requiring my complete attention.

Oh by the way, I went back and checked some of my old posts and they were under the 150 word limit.  So I had to add more content to those posts.  I don't mind sort of 'soft-moderating' the forums to poke people into adding tags to their posts and stuff like that...

But people, really, stop using + in your tags, this isn't bubblews.  lol.

aren't i beautiful?

What Sort of Images Would You Use?

Aside from messing up the permalink on my new blog entry, I've also provided another high quality image for you guys to use however you want.  I think this one is really going to have a lot of uses, I could see it being used for generic photos in picture frames, as a nice pattern for a design.  i especially see it as useful for like, gardeners or landscapers to show off what they can do with a little bit of elbow grease.

The best part is, this is right outside my house, lol.  It's next to my patio, as the post says.

Would you guys mind giving me a little direction as to what sort of images would be useful for you guys to use?  I have lots of pictures of plants and my dog so far.  Maybe things around the house?

High Quality and FREE Digital Images, by ME

Free High Quality Images

...never worry about copyrights again...

by drew de jesus

--

Many sites like bubblews have super restrictive policies when it comes to photo crediting.  Not to mention, most of the image storing sites display them on search engines without any information regarding the legalities!  

Sometimes people can think they're crediting a photo properly when in actuality that photo was stolen from somewhere else entirely.  If the true owner of the picture comes across an improperly sourced image, it can really lead to trouble!

That is why I want to provide high quality digital images for FREE, 100%, for anyone to use in ANY endeavor.  If they're making money with my pictures, then good for them!  That's what I say!

I have literally just begun to build a collection, any so far there is a grand total of ONE image up there!  But it's pretty!  It's a lovely pink rose that would go well with a personalized Valentine's Day message. 

http://freedigitalpictures.blogspot.com/2014/02/rose.html 

See the image above and be sure to follow that blog for more images all the time!  If you have a request, let me know and I will be sure to fill it!

Solivagus,

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself!

Solivagus has Entered the Building.

Don't be afraid, far worse things have happened.  But let it be known that my presence here shall be the penultimate of my artistic expression.  I read in the introduction post here that there is no restriction on what we may post about and I plan on taking full advantage of that fact!  Sometimes other sites can make me feel so stifled that it becomes a job in and of itself not to allow the pressure to feel like another job!  And I didn't become a work from home writer so that I could feel like I have a job!  No ma'am.

So!  Who am I?  My name is Drew De Jesus, I am a writer, actor, entertainer, dog lover, Aries, and I'm a hip old granny who can hip hop bebop and yo ho make a wicked cup of cocoa.  I have my own blog on blogger here that I just started, I won't promote it until there's content.  What I plan to provide there, and maybe even here, will be creative commons photographs that I'll take and that you'll be allowed to use on any post you'd like wherever.  

I think providing free blogging content for creative individuals is a wonderful way to assist one another in socking it to the corporate hounds which sniff at our heels and try to make money off of us.  Uh uh, pay us.  That's how it works.

In any case, I'm 28 for now with a 29th birthday coming up in April, and I look forward to connecting with all of you.  Well, most of you.  Wink.

By the way, all my permalinks will be /solivagus#.html, where # represents the number post of that day.  

For example, this post will be preferredwriters.blogspot.com/2014/02/solivagus1.html - this way it will be easy for people to sort through my posts in order.

Solivagus,
Drew De Jesus
