Do you have a blog? A tumblr blog, perchance?

Asked by Grisaille (12048points) July 28th, 2009

Just curious. If you’d like, share it on!

I just started one the other day, to post longer than 140 characters for twitter.

I don’t understand how it works though :(

Grisaille's avatar

@casheroo I don’t yet, either.

Also check out the Sober Ducks Theme here – http://www.tumblr.com/themes/recent (3rd row right)

Grisaille's avatar

And yes, I’ll have actual musings, stories, pictures of interest and what have you on my blog.

Just figuring things out for now; it’s a bit of a joke until I get it up and running and treating it as such.

Grisaille's avatar

@augustlan Btw, awesome name for the blog!

dannyc's avatar

I do, about politics and economics, but is kind of boring, though I do make money off of it.

Grisaille's avatar

@dannyc I’d love to see it, if you’d be willing to share.

I hate Tumblr b/c you have to be a member to leave comments. Anyone can leave comments on Blogspot

BBSDTfamily's avatar

@casheroo I like your post in response to your FB friend! Did you write that yourself? Hilarious. I’m following you from my blog now but don’t think it shows me as a follower on your end.

Dr_C's avatar

Finally made one here

Grisaille's avatar

Because it’s too late to update my original question:

http://upstanding-citizen.tumblr.com/

That’s my blog. New name, thanks to @augustlan for convincing me to change it!

Emilyy's avatar

spunkylittlepanda.tumblr.com

But I hardly ever write anything anymore. Sigh.

I just started one for the contest, but I think I’m gonna try to keep up with it. :)

TheCreative's avatar

@BBSDTfamily No. Anyone can post comments if you use Disqus. It’s easy to set up and it gives you allot of options. You can even set it so you can post comments using your Twitter account or even Facebook!

I started one a while ago and got my friend to write for me sometimes. Hehe. I’ve been playing around with Tumblr and decided I would write a blog called InternetVitamins I think i’m going to abandon it since all I do is write about what other technology blogs are posting.

DeanV's avatar

Sure. Why not?

http://deanhasablog.tumblr.com/

Also just started. And not sure if I’ll keep up with it.

TheCreative's avatar

Wow I just realised that Tumblr gives you your own blog email. (Ex: yourwebsite@tumblr.com). Your messages go in the “Submissions” page.

Allie's avatar

How come you can’t leave messages or comments on what other people blog unless you repost it? That bothers me, I don’t like that you can’t do that.

DeanV's avatar

@Allie Yeah, I noticed that too. Check out Disqus or maybe LineBuzz. Either way, it can be done.

Edit: Or IntenseDebate looks good too. Probably better than LineBuzz.

Fly's avatar

@Allie You can if the person has allowed answers to their post. But yeah, it kinda sucks that you usually can’t post comments.

Allie's avatar

@Fly Oh!? How does one change that setting should one decide they want to?

DeanV's avatar

@Allie End your post title with a question mark and people should be able to add answers to it if you enable the “Let people answer this” or whatever in the right corner next to the advanced options people should be able to leave “Answers”.

Still, though, I think that little box should just be available on all posts for people to leave comments. The answers thing is just too indirect.

Allie's avatar

@dverhey I agree completely. I really wish comments were enabled on all posts – with out without a question mark.

@Tumblr : Stop being so lame.

DeanV's avatar

I don’t necessarily wish comments were enabled on all posts, but I do with you at least had the option to turn them on for some posts. Like the answer function, except then you could have comments and be grammatically correct.

I may take a look at Disqus for comments.

Allie's avatar

@dverhey I just installed the IntenseDebate one, but I don’t really see any changes. I guess I’ll wait and see.

DeanV's avatar

@Allie See if this page helps. I’m curious to see if this works.

Allie's avatar

@dverhey I couldn’t really figure out IntenseDebate, so I added Disqus. Seems to be working so far.

TheCreative's avatar

@Allie Disqus is great. It’s what I use. Also if you want something extremely cool, you can add Google Analytics. It shows how many visitors you get, where they come from, what OS they use, you’d be surprised how much you can learn about your visitors. Here’s an easy to follow guide on how to install it to your Tumblr blog. You’ll need a Google or GMail account though.

Allie's avatar

@TheCreative Ah, neat! I just added it. Thanks.

Great Answers to @dverhey and @TheCreative for helping me out with this.

mangeons's avatar

Does it have to be Tumblr?

If not, I have one here. I’m just starting out as well, so don’t judge it too harshly.

I have a co-author. (:

Saturated_Brain's avatar

Okay.. I finally did it. I finally got me a tumblr. So if you ever see anyone called Rambunctlebumble following you, you should know who it is.

Bring it on!
