Okay, found out two things today that I know will be helpful for fanartists. If you don't use photobucket, the second one doesn't apply to you but the first one does.

Whenever you post an image to LJ, whether you change your layout, post art in unlocked posts, upload new userpics, add sidebars, post unlocked voting in communities, post unlocked pimps in communities, anything image related in public space, it comes up on the LJ RSS Feed. And apparently now, there are several websites that repost the feed, which just links your images. An icon I had in an icontest was hotlinked on the site fuzzysquid and toothpaste for dinner. My views went from a few hundred to over 25K.

More on feeds )

And the second thing has to do with photobucket. Apparently, they are compressing images, even as small as icons, as they transition to high res capabilities. That means your art will come out blurry.

Info from photobucket )

If anyone has any other information that can be helpful on this post, please let me know ASAP! I don't have all the information, just what I have found with a little digging this morning. Thanks.

There are so many fabulous entries for July so please take the time to look at them and leave comments for our participants! Comments are like inspiration fuel, I swear! And here's hoping LJ will let me post the polls now. *fingers crossed*

Remember: PLEASE DO NOT VOTE FOR YOURSELF! Please do not use sock journals to vote for yourself. Please do not pressure your friends to vote for you. Please vote for the best/most creative/most inspired response to the prompt. If you vote for yourself, use a sock journal to vote for yourself, or pressure your friends to vote for you, the votes will not be counted. We are switching over to Friends Only voting to help cut down on the number of sock puppet votes.

Mistakes, let me know ASAP!

Jammin July Voting )
