Please add links to photo bloggers here.

The idea is to invite these bloggers to also report about ipernity.

I would like to share a text which I used some months ago trying to convince an unhappy Flickr user that it is worth to take a look at ipernity. Probably I was not successful. Nevertheless with a few modifications the text might also be used to get in contact with bloggers or simply to approach people who might be interested in ipernity. The text was targeted specificially to a Flickr user. So if you know unhappy Flickr users you might also use the text with minor changes only. Here it is:

Hello xyz,

I have just read your question about alternatives for Flickr in the help forum. Maybe you can take a look at ipernity. It is very similar like Flickr was before the redesign in 2013 and it has interesting additional features:

- You can write blog posts.
- You have a customizable start page.
- There is an interesting picture in picture function.
- There is an integrated automatic translations feature (powered by DeepL)

Ipernity for many years was operated by a small french company that ran out of money about two years ago. Then it was acquired by its own users. Today it is operated by the Ipernity Members Association (IMA), a non-profit organisation. Every paying user is member of the IMA and has voting rights at the yearly general assembly.

Thus ipernity is completely independent of big internet companies and the users have the say themselves. It is solely financed by the subsciptions of the members and neither shows adds nor sells your data.

To be honest: There are some challenges for ipernity, too. Currently the user base is still quite low (but growing!) and ipernity has a tight budget making it difficult to implement technical changes. But it has a very enthusiastic user base and there are very devoted voluntaries who do the daily work.

You can find ipernity here: www.ipernity.com

FYI
Today I wrote the following to Mike Johnston - The Online Photographer:

"Hi, Mike,
I have just read your blog theonlinephotographer.typepad.com/the_online_photographer/2020/09/photo-bloggers-calling-it-quits.html. You speak from my heart and you write excellent. As a former professional ghostwriter I think I can appreciate that.
Spontaneously I thought: I'd like to tell you our story. Because together with a few other crazy people we have been running a likewise crazy project for three years now. We saved the bankrupt photo website 'ipernity' by crowdfunding and are trying to get it back on track for photo-enthusiasts.
Does anyone need this? No. Neither does your blog. But we still put our heart and soul into it and also sink a lot of private money into it. All voluntary, all without the intention of making a profit.
Yes, I have read all the points, for which it is useless to contact you. But if you have ten minutes and / or are looking for a story: Take a look at this: www.ipernity.com/blog/team/4733142/comment/61440368#comment61440368
You do not have to do anything, I do not expect an answer. But if you ever feel like writing about our project in your blog, I would appreciate a hint.
Best regards
Bernhard
Honorary Vice President of the Ipernity Members Association

I have an inclination to write to a blogger, but I would really like the Landing page to be updated first so that when they come here they have a good first impression. I am going to focus some efforts there first.
