I was talking to Prince Adam about how frustrating it can be when a photo or Dio you worked on weeks (it takes me forever to do a dio chapter) gets bumped off the front page too quickly. It's even worse when the bumper is new and doesn't know about the 3 images at a time guideline. But I can't really take the attitude that the other guy shouldn't post, can I?

So what I do is add some of my favorite photos to my sig, plus a link to my Dio story (hopefully I'll start that up again soon), so that every post I make is a mini-showcase to my stuff. I think it works out rather well. I'm going to make the sig below my sig on all the forums that accept images in sigs.

What I also do is post the image on other Joe sites forums for Dios and link the image back to my thread on JoeDios. I'm very careful when I do this to pay my respects to the site I'm posting on and not over-advertise JD, so they don't think I'm trying to steal their users. What I'm after is more GI Joe fans and experts looking at my work and providing feedback.

I'm also going to start showing my best stuff on Flickr, because the community there is great, too, though I do dislike the small thumbnails, its worth it for the comments.

My point is, post everywhere you think you'll get valuable feedback and spread the fun of GI Joe DIos!

So here's an example. I entered the Terrordrome Outdoor Dio contest (thanks for the news item, GS!) and then replied to their thread and included a smaller version of my mini-gallery sig, which links back to my best photos here.

Have a look:

BTW, their admin says he could spend "hours" looking at JoeDios.
