Like a lot of folks who publich content regularly on the Blogger platform, I got an email on Monday from the Powers That Bee at Blogger (read: Google). I have posted the email below so that ou may know what we are dealing with here:
Dear Blogger User,
We're writing to tell you about an upcoming change to the Blogger Content Policy that may affect your account.
In the coming weeks, we'll no longer allow blogs that contain sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video. We'll still allow nudity presented in artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts, or where there are other substantial benefits to the public from not taking action on the content.
The new policy will go into effect on the 23rd of March 2015. After this policy goes into effect, Google will restrict access to any blog identified as being in violation of our revised policy. No content will be deleted, but only blog authors and those with whom they have expressly shared the blog will be able to see the content we've made private.
Our records indicate that your account may be affected by this policy change. Please refrain from creating new content that would violate this policy. Also, we ask that you make any necessary changes to your existing blog to comply as soon as possible, so that you won't experience any interruptions in service. You may also choose to create an archive of your content via Google Takeout (https://www.google.com/settin
For more information, please read here (https://support.google.com/bl
Sincerely,
The Blogger Team

So you see what we are dealing with here, Blogger essentially wants us to censor ourselves so we do not fall afoul of their new PG or Blander Content Policy. In order for Nichevo to continue as it has for the last 9 years there are a couple of options to discuss.
1. Stop publishing on Blogger and move Nichevo to some other platform.
2. Censor the shit out of myself and lose all my loyal readers who do not come here to see Pollyanna and the Bobsey Twins (but real, stunning and sexy photography of hotter than hell dudes and the music of course).
3. Publish only commentary and Music in these pages and point you to the good stuff on my tumblr.
4. Take Nichevo private and continue as I have been with just a slight change. For this option you would have to email me here, request an invitation to access Nichevo, and then I would of course grant your request. This option would take a little action on your part and a lot of outgoing emails on my part, but I am willing to do so if you guys want to go that route.
5. Quit Blogging altogether and just surf around looking at shit.
So the question of the day is: What would you guys like to see happen to Nichevo in the next 30 days before they put the hood over our head and pull the trigger, killing public access to these pages. You may comment down below, email me here, tweet me (@unclegerry) or Facebook me. I will gather commentary for a week or so before I decide what I will do. In that time though, the really good photography will be on my tumblr and all you will find here in these pages is commentary and great classical music.
Your Musical Moment for Hump Day features Music from the 2 CD set of The Very Best of Chopin. The recordings are by the Slovak State Philharmonic Orchestra, Kosice under the baton of Robert Stankovsky. Featured Solists are Idil Biret, Bernd Glemser and Maria Kliegle. A complete play list may be found here. You may also hear Chopin's Grand Polonaise Brillante with a performance by Lang Lang at the BBC Proms over on my tumblr. You will also find the Hottie of the Day! there to sizzle your shorts. Thanks for the visit, let me know your thoughts on the matter. Until next time as always, Enjoy!
