LOLTHULHU

Alas, the time has come when the main lolthulhu site is unable to keep up with its erstwhile breakneck pace of one post a day. I’ve been expecting this to happen for the past month or so, actually, and I’m quite pleased that I was able to keep it going for so long beyond my initial estimates. So, from now on, the main site will have to just post submissions as they come in, more or less, and I can’t guarantee fresh content on the main page every day.

The miscellany site is still going strong, though, and in fact is still chewing through the backlog that I had been accumulating since the site opened. I’ve also got quite a few submissions in my inbox which will end up in Miscellany, which I haven’t had a chance to reply to yet, so if you have submitted something during the past few weeks and I haven’t replied, it’s not because I didn’t receive it, it’s just because I honestly haven’t had a chance. At any rate, the Miscellany site will continue with one post a day for some time.

If you watch this site over RSS, I’ll once again plug the combined RSS feed which aggregates both the main site and the miscellany site into one feed, so you’ll be sure to catch any updates made to either.

Regardless, here’s hoping this announcement will spur some fresh submissions activity which I’ll then be too busy to deal with properly. Ia!

Ever since this site started getting popular, I began to get submissions which didn’t really fit the “feel” that I was going for on the main page. Sometimes the submissions weren’t really lolcatty, sometimes they used plush C’thulhu toys for the picture, or line drawings, or just other elements which I liked but didn’t want to put up in the main area. It wasn’t long before I decided that I wanted to put up a sub-section where these wayward submissions would find a happy home. It’s taken quite a while for me to actually get that sub-site together, but it’s finally ready:

LOLTHULHU MISCELLANY
I’ve put up an initial seed of five images, and I’m going to continue to space out posts on that site to one-per-day, like I’ve been doing here. As a result, I’ve currently got over a month of backlog for the Miscellany site, so any new submissions which end up over there won’t show up for quite awhile. I like spacing them out because that way I know I’ve got some content even if submissions drop off for awhile, which they do sometimes.

One more note: RSS is, of course, available over there exactly as it is here. I did create a combined RSS feed, if you were interested in just having one, which is available at combfeed.php. Currently that only supports RSS2.0. If there’s desire for a combined Atom feed as well, send me a note.

I believe that just about does it. Happy macroing!
