The upcoming video later today marks the first time I'm deploying Facebook and Twitter automation via IFTTT; if it's successful, then I'll be taking Facebook and Twitter out of my scheduling rotation! These posts will be in a format that involves the video title, as well as the URL to the video. Note as well that there will be some changes coming to the formatting of the video titles as well (likely from Episode 10, which will go live from the 27/04)' I'll probably start doing something like "[PUwS] The Binding of Isaac: Repentance / Episode # (Word)" to make the video title a bit snappier, though this isn't the final format. I will however be sticking to the current title format for any posts where a title is required, which means WordPress and Tumblr, as well as Hive/PeakD will retain the current title format, in order to help keep things streamlined for the template.
I also have plans to bring out a weekly video publishing summary to the Steem platform from Ep 10 onwards, in order to keep the platform active, though this also allows me to ensure I'm using the SBI assigned to my account as well, seeing as there is some sort of financial incentive to keep my activity up on there. I will however not be embedding the videos in that post, seeing as in the future, there will be even more videos added to the summary, and it'll start making things messy. One thing I do want to do however is using the exact titles of the videos from YouTube to compensate for the lack of embedding. I'll likely do the same on PeakD (where the template will be stored) and WordPress (and Tumblr), because it seems like a good way to collect all the links to my content in one place for people to check out! Additionally, I have removed Blurt from rotation too now, as maintaining it has become unsustainable due to not getting enough Blurt to make posts. This will save me additional time in the long run, although the profile will stay up in order to reserve the namespace for myself.
Lastly, the additional notes section will be deployed (in a slightly reformatted way) on Ko-fi as a blog post well as on Subscribestar to make sure everyone is aware of what is going on. Those weekly video summary posts will also be published on Ko-fi and Subscribestar in order to make sure there is consistency across the board. I'll likely post up the summaries on Monday evenings because Sunday is the last day of the average week, though I need to think about the best time to publish such a post!
In any case, that's it for now. This ended up being way bigger than I planned it to be, but I felt it important to mention these changes ASAP, so here is the announcement. I'll be making other refinements over time as and when I notice they can be made, so look out for future updates!

Thank you, it is much appreciated :)
Re my videos, I'm not sure if 1h+ can be considered a short, plus unfortunately for me, my activity on Blurt pretty much had diminishing returns, as I'd have to spend money to keep up with my output on other platforms; I was considering doing the weekly content summary on Blurt, but the cost of posting outweighs anything I'd likely get back, so for the time being it's not worth it, especially as I've already been trying to reduce the amount of platforms I post on!

At the very least I should be able to update on Blurt as I do here; I can't do scheduled posts on either platform, which is why I've had to scale back on the announcements regarding videos to weekly post summaries. I am actually going to be streamlining those weekly posts a bit too, so they consume less mana/resources than they do now, but it probably won't be fully organised till the start of next month, though I have plans to bring in certain changes from my 10th video as it made the most sense to! I also want to start doing fortnightly updates (alternating with my @StormkeeperSMDK accounts which aren't on Blurt or Steem) in order to keep a stable amount of content going, but again, that'll probably need a couple of months to get properly sorted!
