I just signed up for a Tumblr account. Not sure why yet, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Remember when I didn’t get what Twitter was about? Now look at me. I have no idea what I’m going to do with Tumblr, but a thought was to migrate the On the Internet series there so that I can get stuff up in a more timely manner – I’m usually a day late and a dollar short when it comes to posting cool stuff I find. Also, it’s so freaking easy to get distracted composing those posts, and it can take me all night. So, it’s a thought.
Do you use Tumblr? What do you do with it? How do you integrate it with your regular blog and/or Twitter, Facebook, and any and all other sites you’re on? And have any of you found a good user guide to Tumblr? Because I just can’t seem to find a good “how-to” guide that gets into all the technical aspects of things.
I have Tumblr. I use it like a bookmark collection mainly. I’d like to do more creative things with it but so far I haven’t found a great idea. I was going to make it a side/ mini blog but that didn’t work out cause it was too big when I added the code to my blog.
I’ve been using it to replace the “On the Internet” series, since those posts are so time consuming to do. I tried it as a sidebar widget, but ended up making a separate page for it because it just shows better that way. Since I found my groove with Tumblr, I’ve been enjoying it a lot more.
