HTML Meta Tags

Meta Tag is an HTML tag of a web page which gives information to the search engine about the metadata of the web page such as title, keyword and description so that the search engine understands what this web page is about. Search engines decide the rank of a web page in ranking on the basis of meta data and quality content.

For example, search engines get information about the author of a web page through tag and web browsers get information like viewport through tag which helps them to present the web page correctly.

The following information can be provided through tags.

Description - You can provide description of the web page through Meta tag. This description is shown in search results by search engines. When your web page is shown in search results, this description is shown below the page title. If you do not define description through Meta tag then search engines use the first few lines of the article as description.

Keywords - You can provide information about keywords related to your web page to search engines through Meta tag. Keywords are important for ranking in search results. Keywords let search engines know about which topic related information has been provided on a particular page.

Author - Information about the author of the web page is also provided by Meta tag.

Last Modified - You can also provide this information about when the web page was last modified through Meta tag.

Character Set - You can also provide information about the character encoding used in the document through Meta tag.

Meta tag is also very important from the point of view of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Also, through tag you can control the presentation of your web page on screens of different sizes.

How to Leverage Meta HTML Tags for Better Website Ranking

Title: Leveraging Meta HTML Tags for Enhanced SEO and Social Commerce Success

In today's digital age, businesses are constantly seeking ways to improve their online visibility, drive traffic to their websites, and boost sales. Two powerful strategies that can significantly contribute to achieving these goals are SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and social commerce. In this blog post, we will explore how the strategic use of meta HTML tags can play a pivotal role in optimizing your website for search engines and enhancing your social commerce efforts.

Understanding Meta HTML Tags

Meta HTML tags are snippets of code that provide information about a web page to search engines and other platforms. They are not visible on the actual webpage but play a crucial role in how search engines index and display your site in search results. Some common meta tags include meta title, meta description, meta keywords, and meta robots tags.

Optimizing Meta Tags for SEO

One of the primary purposes of meta tags is to improve your website's SEO. By strategically optimizing meta tags, you can increase your site's visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs) and attract more organic traffic. Here are a few key tips for optimizing meta tags for SEO:

Meta Title Tag: Create compelling and relevant meta titles that accurately describe the content of each page. Include target keywords to improve search engine ranking.

Meta Description Tag: Craft concise and informative meta descriptions that entice users to click through to your site. Use relevant keywords and highlight unique selling points.

Meta Keywords Tag: While meta keywords are not as influential as they used to be, including relevant keywords can still provide some SEO benefits.

Meta Robots Tag: Use the meta robots tag to control search engine indexing and crawling behavior. For example, you can use "noindex" to prevent certain pages from appearing in search results.

Enhancing Social Commerce with Meta Tags

In addition to SEO, meta tags can also enhance your social commerce efforts by optimizing how your website appears when shared on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Social media meta tags, such as Open Graph tags and Twitter Cards, allow you to control how your content is displayed, including the title, description, image, and other metadata.

By optimizing social media meta tags, you can:

Ensure that your shared links look visually appealing and engaging.

Encourage more clicks and interactions on social media.

Improve the overall user experience when users share your content.

Best Practices for Meta Tag Optimization

To make the most of meta HTML tags for both SEO and social commerce, follow these best practices:

Conduct keyword research to identify relevant keywords for your meta tags.

Keep meta titles and descriptions concise, clear, and compelling.

Use unique meta tags for each page to avoid duplicate content issues.

Regularly monitor and update your meta tags based on performance data and changes in search engine algorithms.

Test how your website appears on different social media platforms to ensure optimal display.

In conclusion, meta HTML tags are powerful tools that can significantly impact your website's SEO performance and social commerce success. By understanding how to strategically optimize meta tags and following best practices, you can improve your online visibility, attract more traffic, and drive conversions. Incorporate meta tag optimization into your digital marketing strategy to stay ahead in today's competitive online landscape.

HTML Meta Information

HTML meta information is used to provide metadata about a web page. Metadata is data about data, and it is used by browsers, search engines, and other web services to understand the content and purpose of the page. Meta information is typically included within the <head> section of an HTML document.

Common Types of Meta Tags

Character Set Declaration

Specifies the character encoding for the HTML document.

Example:

<meta charset="UTF-8">

The most common encoding is UTF-8, which supports most characters from all the world’s writing systems.

Viewport Settings

Controls the layout of the page on mobile browsers.

Example:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

This tag is crucial for responsive web design, ensuring that the page is scaled correctly on different devices.

Page Description

Provides a brief description of the page content, often used by search engines.

Example:

<meta name="description" content="A brief description of the page.">

This description may appear in search engine results, influencing click-through rates.

Keywords

Lists relevant keywords for the page content, used by some search engines.

Example:

<meta name="keywords" content="HTML, CSS, JavaScript, web development">

Keywords are less important for modern SEO but can still provide context.

Author

Specifies the author of the document.

Example:

<meta name="author" content="Saide Hossain">

Robots

Instructs search engine crawlers on how to index the page.

Example:

<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">

Common values:

index, follow: Allows the page to be indexed and followed by search engines.

noindex, nofollow: Prevents the page from being indexed and links from being followed.

Open Graph Tags (for Social Media)

Used to control how content is displayed when shared on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Examples:

<meta property="og:title" content="Your Page Title"> <meta property="og:description" content="A description of the page content."> <meta property="og:image" content="http://example.com/image.jpg">

These tags improve the appearance of shared links and can increase engagement.

Content-Type

Specifies the media type and character encoding of the document.

Example:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

This tag was more common in older HTML documents but is now often replaced by the <meta charset="UTF-8"> tag.

Refresh

Automatically refreshes the page after a specified time interval.

Example:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30">

This example will refresh the page every 30 seconds.

Custom Meta Tags

You can also create custom meta tags for specific purposes, such as application-specific metadata.

Example:

<meta name="theme-color" content="#ffffff">

This example specifies the theme color of a web app, often used in mobile browsers.

Example of a Complete Head Section with Meta Tags

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <meta name="description" content="This is a sample webpage demonstrating the use of HTML meta tags."> <meta name="keywords" content="HTML, Meta Tags, SEO, Web Development"> <meta name="author" content="Saide Hossain"> <meta name="robots" content="index, follow"> <meta property="og:title" content="Learn HTML Meta Tags"> <meta property="og:description" content="A comprehensive guide to HTML meta tags."> <meta property="og:image" content="http://example.com/meta-image.jpg"> <title>HTML Meta Tags Example</title> </head> <body> <h1>Understanding HTML Meta Information</h1> <p>This page explains the different types of meta tags used in HTML.</p> </body> </html>

In this example, the meta tags provide important information about the content, how it should be displayed, and how search engines should treat it.

"how do I keep my art from being scraped for AI from now on?"

if you post images online, there's no 100% guaranteed way to prevent this, and you can probably assume that there's no need to remove/edit existing content. you might contest this as a matter of data privacy and workers' rights, but you might also be looking for smaller, more immediate actions to take.

...so I made this list! I can't vouch for the effectiveness of all of these, but I wanted to compile as many options as possible so you can decide what's best for you.

Discouraging data scraping and "opting out"

robots.txt - This is a file placed in a website's home directory to "ask" web crawlers not to access certain parts of a site. If you have your own website, you can edit this yourself, or you can check which crawlers a site disallows by adding /robots.txt at the end of the URL. This article has instructions for blocking some bots that scrape data for AI.

HTML metadata - DeviantArt (i know) has proposed the "noai" and "noimageai" meta tags for opting images out of machine learning datasets, while Mojeek proposed "noml". To use all three, you'd put the following in your webpages' headers:

<meta name="robots" content="noai, noimageai, noml">

Have I Been Trained? - A tool by Spawning to search for images in the LAION-5B and LAION-400M datasets and opt your images and web domain out of future model training. Spawning claims that Stability AI and Hugging Face have agreed to respect these opt-outs. Try searching for usernames!

Kudurru - A tool by Spawning (currently a Wordpress plugin) in closed beta that purportedly blocks/redirects AI scrapers from your website. I don't know much about how this one works.

ai.txt - Similar to robots.txt. A new type of permissions file for AI training proposed by Spawning.

ArtShield Watermarker - Web-based tool to add Stable Diffusion's "invisible watermark" to images, which may cause an image to be recognized as AI-generated and excluded from data scraping and/or model training. Source available on GitHub. Doesn't seem to have updated/posted on social media since last year.

Image processing... things

these are popular now, but there seems to be some confusion regarding the goal of these tools; these aren't meant to "kill" AI art, and they won't affect existing models. they won't magically guarantee full protection, so you probably shouldn't loudly announce that you're using them to try to bait AI users into responding

Glaze - UChicago's tool to add "adversarial noise" to art to disrupt style mimicry. Devs recommend glazing pictures last. Runs on Windows and Mac (Nvidia GPU required)

WebGlaze - Free browser-based Glaze service for those who can't run Glaze locally. Request an invite by following their instructions.

Mist - Another adversarial noise tool, by Psyker Group. Runs on Windows and Linux (Nvidia GPU required) or on web with a Google Colab Notebook.

Nightshade - UChicago's tool to distort AI's recognition of features and "poison" datasets, with the goal of making it inconvenient to use images scraped without consent. The guide recommends that you do not disclose whether your art is nightshaded. Nightshade chooses a tag that's relevant to your image. You should use this word in the image's caption/alt text when you post the image online. This means the alt text will accurately describe what's in the image-- there is no reason to ever write false/mismatched alt text!!! Runs on Windows and Mac (Nvidia GPU required)

Sanative AI - Web-based "anti-AI watermark"-- maybe comparable to Glaze and Mist. I can't find much about this one except that they won a "Responsible AI Challenge" hosted by Mozilla last year.

Just Add A Regular Watermark - It doesn't take a lot of processing power to add a watermark, so why not? Try adding complexities like warping, changes in color/opacity, and blurring to make it more annoying for an AI (or human) to remove. You could even try testing your watermark against an AI watermark remover. (the privacy policy claims that they don't keep or otherwise use your images, but use your own judgment)

given that energy consumption was the focus of some AI art criticism, I'm not sure if the benefits of these GPU-intensive tools outweigh the cost, and I'd like to know more about that. in any case, I thought that people writing alt text/image descriptions more often would've been a neat side effect of Nightshade being used, so I hope to see more of that in the future, at least!

re: my tag essay in my reblog of that poll about what influenced nmj's anger at jgy more, his morals or his cultivation

i also want to add that unfortunately, by the time the war is over and nmj actually has the time and bandwidth to have those conversations with jgy... it's too late. not because of anything jgy has done by this point, but because nmj is already ~4 years away from qi deviating naturally even without jgy's intervention (both to prevent it and to accelerate it). his mind and his judgment have been permanently altered by the resentful energy of his chosen cultivation method. there's literally nothing that jgy could have said or done at that point to alter nmj's mindset. it was set in stone, whether it was reflective of reality or not.

wrestling fic writers!!

i have decided to be the change i wanna see, so lets do a nice little thing for each other, as a community full of incredible and talented writers. yes this is writer specific only, but thats cause thats where the main problem of people not interacting with creative works lies in this fandom as far as i can tell and have seen people talking about it especially in the last couple of months

if you read this, please add links to your written works. it can be just a single fic youre really proud of, your writing blog, your writing tag, your ao3 account, anything where your works can be found

and if you leave your link here, PLEASE check out someone else that has left their works, and interact with them. leave them a comment, even just a kudos, REBLOG their fic, etc. interacting is the keyword i want to emphasize here, along with building a sort of a masterpost of where to find people writing in this fandom

and if you are not a writer, youre still highly encouraged to interact with this post and share it and show love to the writers in this fandom, obviously!! i think that should go without saying, but adding it in anyways

a bit more about my vision and resources and such under the read more, but thats the gist of it. happy linking and please be kind and supportive to each other!! 💜

nobody is too big or too small to add their things on this list. if you write and post anything in this fandom whatsoever, be it fics or drabbles or headcanons, any companies or any kind of ships or reader inserts or any content whatsoever no matter how 'dead dove dont eat' or hell even if its just meta, we welcome all here and nobody can say that one thing is less valid than another. just please tag your content accordingly, especially if theres content warnings, and feel free to mention what you write, who you write, any info you wish to leave that would help people before they click on your links. but even so, that should not and hopefully will not deter people from interacting, no matter what it is. someones trash is another ones treasure, i promise you

and unless the amount gets really overwhelming, im personally going to be checking out everyone that leaves something here. unless it squeaks me out, but even then, i'll spread the word. and i just wish as many people as possible will do the same, and not just use this as a potential board to only get eyes on their stuff. ofc thats also the point, but you should give as much, if not more, than you get. we need to be kind and supportive of one another (besides, from personal experience, if you show love to someone else, they are more likely to do it back than without you taking the first step, so... pay it forward)

as for resources, heres a few links that should be helpful in leaving comments and feedback. of course everyone does their own thing and no comment is too big or too small to leave, but for those who need them. if you have anything you'd like added to this list, dont hesitate to get in touch or drop it in the post yourself!!

101 comment starters

ao3 floating comment box

kudos html

dont know how to comment? easy solutions

a quick hot guide to commenting (by yours truly)

an overall guide to appreciating fanfic writers

and just in general.. leave people comments. leave them asks about their projects. just go over and gush about their work. i know it sounds embarrassing but writers love nothing more than to hear that someone likes what they are doing. if you find a fic that hasnt been updated in forever, comment on it. it might just be the spark the author needs to continue. while kudos and likes are nice, and just as valuable to some, its definitely in the words the people leave for them that matter the most. im not saying this to put pressure on anyone, its just how it is, and i feel like unless people are writers themselves, and even then sometimes, thats just hard to grasp, especially if the writer is a smaller and less popular one who doesnt get a lot of traffic in the first place

i think thats all. just be nice and considered to everyone, reblog peoples works, this post with others add ons and so forth. and if i find anyone talking shit here or at other writers for something they share, you'll be blocked and im probably taking your kneecaps. be fucking nice. we are all struggling here and we need to stick together

happy sharing and commenting 💜💜

Question: how do you use scriviner for formatting?

Okay, so I’m not sure if you mean in terms of text formatting or like…story structuring? If the first, I actually don’t use scrivener for that—once I’m done drafting I copy my draft into google docs for revisions and then run a script that automatically formats it with html for posting on ao3.

As far as story structuring goes, I used their pre-made novel template with folders for chapters and the basic text files for individual scenes or parts of scenes. And then if I want to rework the order of something it’s easy to drag and drop it around within a chapter folder or to move it to a different one.

Not formatting exactly, but Scrivener also has a really nice tutorial I followed along with to learn some more about using the meta data for tagging scenes and labeling them with things that can be useful on the author end (like which pov a scene is from, setting, characters present, etc.) as well as linking to external files for references.

Honestly I only did the basic tutorial so it probably has all sorts of other features I don’t even know about, but that’s a quick overview of some of the tools I use. Hope that helps!

How to Block AI Bots from Scraping Your Website

The Silmarillion Writers' Guild just recently opened its draft AI policy for comment, and one thing people wanted was for us, if possible, to block AI bots from scraping the SWG website. Twelve hours ago, I had no idea if it was possible! But I spent a few hours today researching the subject, and the SWG site is now much more locked down against AI bots than it was this time yesterday.

I know I am not the only person with a website or blog or portfolio online that doesn't want their content being used to train AI. So I thought I'd put together what I learned today in hopes that it might help others.

First, two important points:

I am not an IT professional. I am a middle-school humanities teacher with degrees in psychology, teaching, and humanities. I'm self-taught where building and maintaining websites is concerned. In other words, I'm not an expert but simply passing on what I learned during my research today.

On that note, I can't help with troubleshooting on your own site or project. I wouldn't even have been able to do everything here on my own for the SWG, but thankfully my co-admin Russandol has much more tech knowledge than me and picked up where I got lost.

Step 1: Block AI Bots Using Robots.txt

If you don't even know what this is, start here:

About /robots.txt

How to write and submit a robots.txt file

If you know how to find (or create) the robots.txt file for your website, you're going to add the following lines of code to the file. (Source: DataDome, How ChatGPT & OpenAI Might Use Your Content, Now & in the Future)

User-agent: CCBot Disallow: /

AND

User-agent: ChatGPT-User Disallow: /

Step Two: Add HTTPS Headers/Meta Tags

Unfortunately, not all bots respond to robots.txt. Img2dataset is one that recently gained some notoriety when a site owner posted in its issue queue after the bot brought his site down, asking that the bot be opt-in or at least respect robots.txt. He received a rather rude reply from the img2dataset developer. It's covered in Vice's An AI Scraping Tool Is Overwhelming Websites with Traffic.

Img2dataset requires a header tag to keep it away. (Not surprisingly, this is often a more complicated task than updating a robots.txt file. I don't think that's accidental. This is where I got stuck today in working on my Drupal site.) The header tags are "noai" and "noimageai." These function like the more familiar "noindex" and "nofollow" meta tags. When Russa and I were researching this today, we did not find a lot of information on "noai" or "noimageai," so I suspect they are very new. We used the procedure for adding "noindex" or "nofollow" and swapped in "noai" and "noimageai," and it worked for us.

Header meta tags are the same strategy DeviantArt is using to allow artists to opt out of AI scraping; artist Aimee Cozza has more in What Is DeviantArt's New "noai" and "noimageai" Meta Tag and How to Install It. Aimee's blog also has directions for how to use this strategy on WordPress, SquareSpace, Weebly, and Wix sites.

In my research today, I discovered that some webhosts provide tools for adding this code to your header through a form on the site. Check your host's knowledge base to see if you have that option.

You can also use .htaccess or add the tag directly into the HTML in the <head> section. .htaccess makes sense if you want to use the "noai" and "noimageai" tag across your entire site. The HTML solution makes sense if you want to exclude AI crawlers from specific pages.

Here are some resources on how to do this for "noindex" and "nofollow"; just swap in "noai" and "noimageai":

HubSpot, Using Noindex, Nofollow HTML Metatags: How to Tell Google Not to Index a Page in Search (very comprehensive and covers both the .htaccess and HTML solutions)

Google Search Documentation, Block Search Indexing with noindex (both .htaccess and HTML)

AngryStudio, Add noindex and nofollow to Whole Website Using htaccess

Perficient, How to Implement a NoIndex Tag (HTML)

Finally, all of this is contingent on web scrapers following the rules and etiquette of the web. As we know, many do not. Sprinkled amid the many articles I read today on blocking AI scrapers were articles on how to override blocks when scraping the web.

This will also, I suspect, be something of a game of whack-a-mole. As the img2dataset case illustrates, the previous etiquette around robots.txt was ignored in favor of a more complicated opt-out, one that many site owners either won't be aware of or won't have time/skill to implement. I would not be surprised, as the "noai" and "noimageai" tags gain traction, to see bots demanding that site owners jump through a new, different, higher, and possibly fiery hoop in order to protect the content on their sites from AI scraping. These folks serve to make a lot of money off this, which doesn't inspire me with confidence that withholding our work from their grubby hands will be an endeavor that they make easy for us.

10 SEO Tips For Classified Websites

If you’re owning or are about to build a classified website, you need to prioritize SEO. Irrespective of the size and strength of your company, SEO is a must to get a sufficient number of leads to your website. With the help of the best SEO strategies, your page is going to be indexed in the right way. This is the reason why many classified website companies hire SEO expert to make their sites highly scalable. Here, we are going to share our insights on the role of SEO to improve the scalability of classified websites. So, scroll down to know all about SEO and classified sites in detail.

1. Use Creative Content: Every company has its specific missions, visions and goals. And so, these things need to be highlighted with quality content. But, content is not only important for your business promotion but also for SEO. To apply the best SEO strategies, you need to use creative content that tells your audience precisely who you are, what you do and how you do it. It will create a bigger impact on your potential customers and keep them on your site for longer. Also, you need to use relevant keywords to optimize the content for search engine result pages.

2. Make Images Optimized: Studies show how images can create a positive impact on website visitors and attract a huge number of them. But, did you know that you can also use your images to generate new leads to your website way before they know you exist? Well, you can do the same by optimizing your website images in various ways. You need to compress the images first to reduce loading time and then upload them with relevant names. ALT tags are also important for image optimization, which you need to ensure. Mobile responsive images are a must.

3. Create Header Tags: Your classified website needs to have header tags to become SEO-friendly. Header tags or HTML tags play crucial roles in making your website look organized and meaningful. And so, you need to ensure these tags in the best possible way. Generally, you’ll find 5–6 header tags such as H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, and H6. H1, the headline or title tag, is the most essential one of all. Most website articles or blogs have H1-H4 tags and if needed H5 and H6 are also included. You can also incorporate keywords with these tags to get the best results.

4. Meta Descriptions and Titles: Next, you need to include meta descriptions and titles while developing your website. Meta Descriptions are descriptive one or two-liners about your website pages that the readers will be able to see as your webpage link appears in the search engine pages. Titles are the main headings of web pages, which needs to be attractive and simple. Content and keyword play really significant roles when it comes to optimizing these meta descriptions and titles of the web pages. These are the things that you can’t miss.

5. Ensure URL Keywords: If you’re looking for an SEO expert in Kolkata, you can ask the expert about the role of URL keywords. In SEO, URL keywords play the most vital role in optimizing websites in SERPs (search engine result pages). For example, if you have an e-commerce apparel website and someone searches Google for “women’s salwar kameez”, your website will be shown by Google at the top. But, to achieve this position, you need to include the keyword ‘women’s salwar kameez’ in your website URL and apply other SEO strategies correctly.

6. Build Sitemaps: To make any website SEO-friendly, sitemaps are essential. Your classified website also needs to include the same. Sitemap refers to a file that has all your web pages listed down.

İnternet tarayıcıları tarafından okunarak görsel olarak kullanıcıya sunulan web sayfalarının iskeletini oluşturur. HTML, metin, resim, bağlantılar, tablolar ve diğer multimedya öğelerini düzenlemek için çeşitli etiketler kullanır.

HTML, aşağıdaki gibi ana unsurlardan oluşur:

Etiketler (Tags): İçeriği tanımlayan yapısal bileşenlerdir. Örneğin, <h1> etiketi bir başlığı belirtir, <p> etiketi bir paragrafı tanımlar. Çift taraflı etikette açılış (<etiket>) ve kapanış (</etiket>) bulunur.

Öznitelikler (Attributes): Etiketlere ek bilgi sağlar. Örneğin, <a href="https://example.com"> etiketi, bağlantının gideceği adresi belirtir.

Elementler: Etiketler ve onların arasındaki içerikten oluşur. Örneğin, <p> Bu bir paragraftır. </p> bir elementtir.

HTML Yapısı: HTML dosyası, genellikle bir <!DOCTYPE html> bildirimi, <html>, <head>, ve <body> gibi ana bölümlerden oluşur.

Örneğin, temel bir HTML yapısı şu şekildedir:

———————————————————

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="tr">

<head>

<meta charset="UTF-8">

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

<title>Örnek Sayfa</title>

</head>

<h1>Merhaba Dünya!</h1>

<p>Bu, bir HTML örneğidir.</p>

</body>

</html>

Oekaki updatez...

Monster Kidz Oekaki is still up and i'd like to keep it that way, but i need to give it some more attention and keep people updated on what's going on/what my plans are for it. so let me jot some thoughts down...

data scraping for machine learning: this has been a concern for a lot of artists as of late, so I've added a robots.txt file and an ai.txt file (as per the opt-out standard proposed by Spawning.ai) to the site in an effort to keep out as many web crawlers for AI as possible. the site will still be indexed by search engines and the Internet Archive. as an additional measure, later tonight I'll try adding "noai", "noimageai", and "noml" HTML meta tags to the site (this would probably be quick and easy to do but i'm soooo sleepy 🛌)

enabling uploads: right now, most users can only post art by drawing in one of the oekaki applets in the browser. i've already given this some thought for a while now, but it seems like artist-oriented spaces online have been dwindling lately, so i'd like to give upload privileges to anyone who's already made a drawing on the oekaki and make a google form for those who haven't (just to confirm who you are/that you won't use the feature maliciously). i would probably set some ground rules like "don't spam uploads"

rules: i'd like to make the rules a little less anal. like, ok, it's no skin off my ass if some kid draws freddy fazbear even though i hope scott cawthon's whole empire explodes. i should also add rules pertaining to uploads, which means i'm probably going to have to address AI generated content. on one hand i hate how, say, deviantart's front page is loaded with bland, tacky, "trending on artstation"-ass AI generated shit (among other issues i have with the medium) but on the other hand i have no interest in trying to interrogate someone about whether they're a Real Artist or scream at someone with the rage of 1,000 scorned concept artists for referencing an AI generated image someone else posted, or something. so i'm not sure how to tackle this tastefully

"Branding": i'm wondering if i should present this as less of a UTDR Oekaki and more of a General Purpose Oekaki with a monster theming. functionally, there wouldn't be much of a difference, but maybe the oekaki could have its own mascot

fun stuff: is having a poll sort of "obsolete" now because of tumblr polls, or should I keep it...? i'd also like to come up with ideas for Things To Do like weekly/monthly art prompts, or maybe games/events like a splatfest/artfight type thing. if you have any ideas of your own, let me know

boring stuff: i need to figure out how to set up automated backups, so i guess i'll do that sometime soon... i should also update the oekaki software sometime (this is scary because i've made a lot of custom edits to everything)

Money: well this costs money to host so I might put a ko-fi link for donations somewhere... at some point... maybe.......
