Extra blog pimping

Nov 25, 2007 22:08

I recently discovered tumblr -- it's another one of those miniblogging sites. I loved the layout so I started a tumblr site at flonk.lardcave.net. Posts there are less edited, and more random, than posts here.

I dunno if it has a specific deal really. I'm just using it as a quick alternative to LJ. :)

Catie has already done this evil thing. :( So presumably the world imploded and we didn't notice. It's "wztumblr".

What a brilliant idea!

Not only more random, but uncommentable upon! Could it be in deriding the mass media for the lack of meaningful interaction between demagogue and listener we have become the very thing we set out to destroy?1
1: No.

http://tumblepedia.net/wiki/How_to_add_comments_to_a_Tumblr_tumblelog has hints about how to make your tumblr site commentable. I haven't tried it, so YMMV.

Hey, this is great. tumblr is named after something called a tumblelog. I happen to have the domain name tumble.tk, and I happen to have been looking for a name for a mini-blog, but I didn't know there was such a thing as a tumblelog. Happiness was staring me in the face but I didn't see it.

Sometimes I wish happiness would say something to let me know that it's there. :)

I didn't know about tumblelogs. Perhaps I should start being more "multimedia" in it? I'm not sure about adding comments. As the blog author I don't really want them, but as a blog reader I do -- for example, I would like to leave comments on your tumble log -- though maybe I should just do this in an ad hoc way, since it's a wiki.

As blog author you don't want comments, and on flonk you're blog author, so :-)

To leave comments on my site, yes, just edit the page. Ad hoc is good. It means you've got the hassle of deciding where to put the cursor and looking up the markup, but apart from that it's easy.
