A Digital Directory

I've been around a long time.  To be honest, I would prefer a tidy, simplified digital footprint, but when you have varying types of content, I guess it's inevitable.  

The majority of my content is my website devoted to the Mayfair Witches novels by Anne Rice.  Over time, as social media was growing in use, imagination led to innovation in the form of digital content creation.  I learned how to do other things.  When I gave my Mayfair Witches website, Come Into My Parlor, an overhaul in 2023, fifteen years after its launch in 2008, I started to integrate content, starting with YouTube.  I write my text myself and always have.  But--I also wanted to provide some of my own design and graphics.  

For me, YouTube is more of an extension rather than simply a video host or social media (though it is both of those things as well as a search engine).  Still, I began to include social media--Facebook, Instagram, etc.  As I've tested different platforms for different things, I also had other types of content that were not Mayfair Witches-related.  Blending it in with the Mayfair Witches was a strategy that allegedly hexes muddles algorithms, so I ended up creating or renaming some of my social media to keep the non-Mayfair Witches content separate.

Just a quick question (this is in reference to social media): if an algorithm can determine so much about our content, why can't said algorithm detect when a change of content means what it means IRL--a different audience?  Askin' for a friend.  

It seems algorithm doohickeys are limited in capability if they cannot pick up on something pretty basic.  Meaning, a video showing a 3D model of an historic house that was also the setting of a series of novels by an author who just about redefined the vampire genre is not likely to appeal to an audience one realized late mostly prefers to sit and watch drama queens spend a two hour live stream bickering about ONE comment. 

ANYWAY. 

What ended up happening is a weird mishmash with different names for different types of content.  How is anyone supposed to keep all this straight?  Where can folks find stuff of mine they'd like to see and might even like?

And wherever shall Those Who Wish to Troll look?

Allow me to take all the fun out of guessing.

No, I do not provide links to my personal accounts.  Guess why.

Look to the right column of this blog.  There is a section devoted to links to the rest of my "digital footprint".  The top section is where you will find the link to my other website.  It is small.

I...smell...Facebook.

 

And in case you feel entitled to publicly repeat something I said about my family tree IN PRIVATE and most likely not to you, here is something that should stick quite nicely in your craw.  The little DNA tree I managed to come up with on NightCafe.  When you see it, that means there is a family connection of some sort.  Will I disclose what that is, exactly?  Probably not.  

Before you have a complete hissy about the things I talk about being things I have a family connection to, hunny, that isn't a coincidence.  Each is but one small twig of my family tree.  The discussion centers around things I happen to be interested in to begin with.  I tend to look at it as a way to explore things in the context of history, of culture.

So, if you see the little DNA tree, that means the connection is there, even if I don't specify what it is.
