When creating sexy shots, one is limited to a couple of things that can't be overcome easily. Know-how, proper hardware, time, patience ... to say the least.

But a story. Good sexy shots linger for 10 minutes, but if a story reaches you, it will last much longer. And you are quite the writer. Not doing so would be waste of your talents. So, to hell with applause. No need for you to become another one writing low-mans lyrics.

You said yourself that you envisioned the blog medium to cater to those who are more interested in searching and re-reading.

If they pay that much attention you can direct the audience easily and there is (almost) no chance of them not getting what they came for.

Blog whatever the hell you want to do, just put each blog posts under a category.

'[Random screenshots #14]'

'[story #22 Episode 4] [Lewd shit] Every Horker has its day'

What somebody will be interested is different to somebody else. Unless you really, really care about creating a very specific audience; as long as you keep making stuff then people will continue paying attention to it. Maybe some people will only come for the sex screens, maybe they'll only come for the non-sex screens(for some reason). Whatever is done, in that situation either party should recognize that an author making whatever the hell they want to make; is probably going to keep their drive and their sanity intact to continue creating more content faster.
