God, I'm glad you said that. I kept trying to figure out how to make it DO MORE and I guess I'm really not supposed to. I like searching the tags, but I haven't really gotten the hang of it.

That's fair. What's your name over there? Same as here?

Haha, thank GOD I'm not the only one who feels this way! XD

I'm still figuring it out myself, only got mine a few weeks ago. I guess the trick is to start simple and branch out with various degrees of fancy as you start to get a feel for how it works?

Only thing I can miss about it is a proper comment function like I'm used to from LJ and DA, but there's a plug-in for that, I think.

Hello! Yes, I feel like a complete idiot. I decided I needed one after you got me all interested in this Tumblr business and now I'm pitifully lost. Well, lost in a world of technicolor memes and a whole lotta NSFW work pics that ARE NOT MARKED AS SUCH.

My life, it's so hard. ;)

Hahaha, yes, it's dangerously sparkly alluring, isn't it?
I haven't figured out how to mark stuff as nsfw so I'm probably to blame there... i checked the nsfw option for my entire tumblr, but I don't know if you can mark individual posts. Still trying to figure things out. I feel ancient. XD

Yeah, I just remembering doing some basic tag searches and all of a sudden my screen was filled with peen. Cue me scrambling like mad to close everything before the boyfriend could give me the side eye.

Sorry I haven't followed you back yet! I need more time for internets in my life.

There is no good way to respond. You can 'reblog' stuff and put comments on it, and the person you're reblogging will see that, but it's basically shit for conversation. It is, however, fantastic for pretty pictures. I mostly got one to follow fuckyeahraja, and...honestly this has served me pretty well.

Gotcha. Yeah, thanks for pointing that out. It seems geared more towards consumption than community. I'm not sure how much I like it but -- OH WHAT IS THAT IT'S SO SHINY.

...Ahem.

Yeah, basically what I do on Tumblr is:

* See shiny picture
* Push heartmark
* Possibly reblog shiny picture with additional commentary

Once in a blue moon I'll talk to someone (and I think I got into an argument with Millyfan of all people briefly) but it's not really made for that.
