I happened to notice yesterday that the ‘theme’ for my Tumblr site wasn’t working properly. Fortunately, I managed to fix it, by installing a theme that I actually like even more. Those of you who enjoy naughty pictures might want to find a quiet corner and have a browse…

I confess to still being in two minds about Tumblr. I love digging out images to post there – and enjoy sharing a little more of what actually works for me on an erotic level. But at the same time, “The Spanking Writers” is known for being one of the longest-standing literary blogs – so posting porn, even on a different site…?

And I do worry about copyright issues with Tumblr – you’ll notice, for example, that I refuse to cross-post anything that’s marked with a (c) notice or the name of the originating site / photographer. Having found a couple of photos on other Tumblr pages that I’ve taken of friends (who’d posted them with my absolute permission on their own blogs), I’m a little sensitive to allegations of stealing other people’s property thanks to the ease of the Tumblr ‘reblog’ button.

I also avoid as far as possible posting photos of (or taken by) people I know in real-life – which, given the number of spanking models I know, isn’t always easy!

I do wonder how much crossover there is in the readership of the two sites. Do those of you who’ve read my writing here for the past six or more years also devour the images on Tumblr; do those who discover my porn pages click across to and enjoy the written word? I’d be curious to know…
