There is still hope

If the old car cannot be mended, we still have each other. There is maybe time to consider a complete reprogramming. And as long as we are a members association, we can have freedom to affect on what the outcome is. I guess most of us appreciate the "old fashioned" layout of ipernity. Although, also ipernity has its quirky features. But it still is much less confusing as many other photo sharing web sites. And if we start from scratch, we can keep it nice and simple.

Time to look back and communicate

Because uploading new images has put on halt for a week or so, it is a good opportunity to use what still works. At least ipernity is not totally blacked out this time. As some of us have already discovered, one can change the upload date to make the older uploads appear as new. This is a great way to get especially previously unnoticed photos seen, like this one uploaded back in 2013, when I had just joined ipernity, and hardly had any contacts.

But this is also a great opportunity to browse what others have done during the past years. There are literary myriad wonderful collections arranged in albums and groups. We usually feel too busy to visit them. Way too often we only dumb our images into groups, but don't really visit them. There are also number of groups that allow contributing with old uploads. Actually more than those where new uploads are expected.

Or we can write blog articles. Articles feature works just alright as well. Or as well as it has worked for the past 2-3 years. On articles one can add images, and again, give new life for old uploads. A small useful tip. Use the source code button on the toolbar to review the spelling, and then switch back to the normal editor. And don't forget that one can also embed Youtube and Vimeo videos onto blog articles.
