Description
Pretty tired today, so I will cheese it with a cheap interpretation of my recent thought.Back when I made my DA account I realized:
'Oh, I can organize stuff into folders. Cool. What will my categories be?'
But I couldn't think of any, since... I had like, 10 images each in it's own category. So, I figured I should wait for a bit and see if I develop some habits.
Well, I have almost 500 images in my gallery now, I think it's high time I sort some things out
I am pretty certain many people that come along and may start watching or getting interested in my stuff will be like 'Look at the size of that gallery, I ain't going through all that.' even if they would find something of interest there.
Even more of an issue when I have some pieces belong to like, 5 folders at once, and almost everything right now is both in daily sketches and animation, and occasionally fanart or featured. As a programmer, this lack of optimization triggers me xD
So, after dailies are done in 2 weeks, I will take some time to just go through my entire gallery and organize everything into neat categories, and possibly make a single piece/journal to serve as a codex. I considered getting core for a month so I can make subfolders and thumbnails in descriptions... but with core just taking it all away unceremoniously once it runs out, I would rather not. I should figure out a system I can sustain going forward.
Also, I had a plan to make my daily finale be a compilation of every daily I made in some cool way... but the more I have been planning it, the more I realize it will not be worth the effort, so I will think of something else. If anyone has any ideas, I may consider them.

Wait... which part exactly? All of it?

It has long stopped being a 'gallery', but becomes something completely different

My gallery is still a mess, even when I tried to organize it....

I don't think DA has the best tools for organization, so you can't get very far even if you try.
I will have to get an excel and note down all the stuff I have and where it belongs and see what I can figure out. It won't be a walk in the park, but since dailies will dwindle, I will have some time, and I won't keep adding more art to categorize xD
I will probably have to go around the system, or something, but we shall see.

Core allows sub-folders, which would be hella helpful!
But that's one of the ONLY factors I find useful in Core...(ye I don't find the use of Core)
Otherwise I tried and failed to organize everything...

Uses of core from my experience:
notifications - though more of a nice bonus than that useful
subfolders and more options with them - I wonder what happens to them once core dies, since I didn't use them at all...
thumbnails everywhere - trying to edit the same description that had them after core just removes them
Useful stuff of core that vanish into thin air once it runs out (not sure if it returns with core):
polls - with ALL the results
custom widgets
So, you either use it forever if you have ways of DA paying itself (commissions and such) or you don't bother.

Personally, I wouldn't bother.
but who knows if something changes in the future...
