Over to Tumblr
July 25th, 2007I often find it difficult to devote time to sitting down and writing for this blog, which is why it only gets updated fairly sporadically. So I have set up a tumblelog, which according to Tumblr is a “refreshingly simple new way to share anything you find, love, hate or create”. Basically I can post interesting links without having to worry about writing any editorial to describe them. I may still occasionally post the odd longer piece over here, but I’m planning to invest most of my blogging energy into the tumblelog format.
Anyway, that’s enough explaining, check the new ‘log out here.
Edit (3 September 2007): Well, 43 days since my first post and the tumblelog is still going strong. Tumblr is lacking some of the features I have come to enjoy with WordPress, namely commenting, sensibly-named permalinks (e.g. http://chrisbarnes.net/jottings/2007/07/over-to-tumblr/) and a decent archive system, but overall I’m happy with it.

Tumblelog looks a bit messy to me, You could do with a better style sheet on there bright orange and blue don’t go that well.
Anyway it does look quite handy just for posting links to interesting stuff in a blog type format. I’ll keep my eye on it see what interesting stuff you turn up.
Matt.

Thanks for the feedback, I’ve now switched to the Minimalist theme which is a bit more like this one and a bit easier on the eye
