Yes, I was totally going to say Pinterest.

I haven't spent much time there, due to the time suckage issue Strix cited, but Pinterest seems the way to go. Had I not just migrated to a new computer, I'd link you to an article I read about how 5 major brands are succeeding using Pinterest. Google the idea and I'm certain that will come up.

As for adding the buttons to the 10 photo page...might it be cleaner...and much less work...to add a blurb on each page that says "Click on your favorite pics to share with your fellow Provocateurs" and then have the share buttons on the individual pages?

I have no idea why I think that would be technically easier, but it would save you all that div hashing...which sounds like torture to me.

People are already pinning many of my sites: [link] actually. I noticed that a few months ago and didn't know what to do with the information. I'm having a hard time keeping up with tumblring (but I am getting a decent number of notes, so it's a decent brand expansion--I'm trying to run the reports to see how much traffic tumblr gets me, but it's hard to interpret--chicken gizzards might be more straightforward). If there isn't a tool that can consolidate tweeting/Pinning/whatever else, I don't know if I can keep up with it.

I am fairly sure I have a provocateuse twitter account, but I might be using it for something else. Whatever else, it's not for much, and I can clean it out.

Shit.

But I am wasting traffic here. At the very least, I can add buttons that can add another inroad for traffic. Bare minimum. And I might go with your suggestion bonny, at least in the short term. It will make it simpler to construct the URLs for the buttons, I can have more, and I can lay them out without ruining the main page (and they are sorely under designed as they stand anyway).

Thanks, guys. This is all perspective I need and don't have.

So I'm updating my mailing list from mailchimp, and I'm entering the data into quickbooks, somewhat woefully thinking it's a shame that there's no where else to put the mailchimp special info requests other than the notes field in quickbooks, which is only sort of queryable. I'll have to go back through manually to make sure everyone gets their dvds, and then I'll have to make a note that they did.

And then I accidentally hit the button directly next to the one I've been using for the past eleven years. It says, "Schedule a new todo"

<headdesk>

Of course the functionality is there, I just never noticed.

Whew! I added a tumblr share picture button to Venus!

It's below the picture: [link]

Should I move it above?

Okay, then, to learn:

• Twitter
• Pinterest
• Facebook
• Google+

No, below looks good, I think. I would want to scroll to see the whole picture before I decided I wanted to share it.

I know this is not the point, but that is a stunning picture.

*Now* I need to work out how to tweak my web log reporting to track that usage.

Fun times!

Thanks for the feedback, guys (and Stephanie, there's totally a reason I was testing with that pic--a) I wanted one with a caption and b) I wanted it to be really easy to look at for an hour or so).

I totally agree with Liese about the button on the bottom.

And, for what it is worth, I don't find those ads intrusive at all.

It is a stunning picture. I just love it.
