ZUCO.ORG

Zuco.org is coming back again as a personal blog. As you already know I moved my photography blog to darkboxnotes.com to focus on one domain one niche.
So zuco.org, the domain based on my own name, will be used again as a gateway to the content that I generate during the time. I wonder why I didn’t do this before? This is the perfect way to learn the art of blogging and from a lesson in Internet’s live. Focus on one niche! If you love to talk about many other topics and you have a lot to say about that, and you want to create a big traffic of readers, create one site for each niche.

So what is going to be this blog about? Just a full stream of thoughts, opinions, the antithesis of a focused blog on a specific niche. A gateway, a place to get redirected to the content generated by its author.

Sorry for the Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Catalan language. I really have no time to keep doing this translations. Anyway comments in any of those languages are welcome.

Many people suggested me to write using different languages in the same post. Many other people suggested me just the opposite. I think that for SEO commandments mixing many languages in the same post is not a good practice. Even a folder is not a good idea. For a real separation of languages in the same domain, using sub-domains is maybe the best approach.

I would like to ask your opinion about the design. I wanted to detach it as much as possible from the previous template but, at the same time, keep some of the original design.
So, do you like it?

Just as a reminder, update your feeds:

Thank you for following this blog all this time. As many of you already know, Zuco.org was like a chameleon. It changed so many times since its first moments in 2004. I picked up this name because this is my surname and the phonetic is weird and short enough to make a domain worth it. Zuco.org reflected many changes in my life. Since its first creation it was a place to share my thoughts, experiences and everything that I considered worth mentioning online. I deleted many of its contents during this time, redesigned it, stopped it, and started it again. It changed at the same time I changed my interests and visions of life.

Zuco.org until now was a photography blog and I’m spending a lot of time working on this, just because photography is my passion. So I decided to migrate the main purpose of this to a new blog, with the same design, the same ideas, everything is the same. Only the domain changes “DarkBoxNotes.com” This name matches what I’m doing in this blog and reflects better than “zuco” the contents of this blog.

What is going to happen to Zuco.org???

The links work, so for those that link from other blogs, don’t worry all links will work. If you find a broken link, please drop me a line. I’ll really appreciate it.

I will give about 30 days of life to actual Zuco.org and then I will transform this blog in my daily life diary, opinions, thoughts and so forth. It will be the same as it was before it got irradiated and mutated to a photography blog.

About languages, of course I will replay to comments in Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Catalan but the main language will be English. No time to maintain all this stuff in so many languages…

Why the name DarkBoxNotes?

Darkbox means that box that every photographer carries all day long: our loved camera. Usually is dark or even colored as the new Pentax K-X but inside all of them there is the kingdom of darkness. For just a few instant, light passes through the lens and captures unique moments.
Notes because I write about that darkbox in this blog.
Thanks to my friends @papadimitriou, @dannychoo, @tamegoeswild, @tangerinejp, @stevenagata and @Ashuttleworth for their help and suggestions.

I also created a twitter account for @DarkBoxNotes, please follow it if you found the content of zuco.org interesting.
