nightwolf Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I've been on Tumblr 8 days and I've made 49 posts. Yeah, I'm a little bit addicted. I think I've been on a couple of months and made over 600.
darksnowman Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I don't get it! Its pretty obvious why... I still don't really get tumblr. I've started doing a Tumblr, but it's a bit emo. So i will never let anyone read. Lulz. You'll have to just stick to Twitter. :wink:
nightwolf Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I think I've been on a couple of months and made over 600. Correction..700. It's more addictive than facebook Retro.
Fields. Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 All I know is there's loads of decent wanking material on that tumblr. Great site.
Pancake Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Its pretty obvious why... You'll have to just stick to Twitter. :wink: What are you inferring, you sneaky person! It's impossible to be emo on Twitter, it's so... chirpy!
Daft Posted February 7, 2011 Author Posted February 7, 2011 I love this - http://lesbianswholooklikejustinbieber.tumblr.com/ There's just so much stuff on Tumblr. It's like crack. I'm addicted. Also, ...amazing.
Hamishmash Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll... Tumblr is my crack. Scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll... Tumblr is my crack.
Pancake Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Hey on that Bieber thing only like 1 in 3 are lesbians, the rest is ACTUAL Bieber! If it was all lesbians i'd subscribe.
dwarf Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Can someone give me a rundown on Blogger/Wordpress/Tumblr? I've read from a few websites and the difference isn't really clear. I'm interested in having a blog for more philosophical/essay type pieces, what would be best? I'm well aware this sort of blog is nothing new, but that's the sort of topic I think I'd like to cover (think insignificance), whilst also putting my own twisterclang on it.
The Lillster Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Is it just me, or has anyone else read Daft's Tumblr name as Vicious Vandal and not Vicarious Vandal?
dwarf Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Wordpress looks to be the most convoluted thing ever. Just, ergh. I hate doing extraction shit and manual shizzle, I need a simple spoon-feeding interface. Unless you can show me it's actually quite simple? If it's a long term thing and is more professional I can justify making one but otherwise nyah.
Daft Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 Is it just me, or has anyone else read Daft's Tumblr name as Vicious Vandal and not Vicarious Vandal? Freudian slip?

Unless you can show me it's actually quite simple? If it's a long term thing and is more professional I can justify making one but otherwise nyah. Tumblr is very easy to use. You have full access to the HTML too so you can make it into anything. Tumblr also has networking built into it, which is nice.
Cube Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Is it a self-hosted one? What do you have already (in terms of a server and what you can access)? It's likely a pain to do the initial installation, but once you've done that updates and installing themes/plugins are done straight from the interface. So it's just the initial hurdle.
dwarf Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) I'm just wondering why Wordpress seems such a draw for more serious blogging... It's more permanent isn't it > no chance of being bought out as it's a much more user-interlinking thingameshizzle. I'm sure Tumblr's good but Imma getting magnetised somewhat into this other utility. @ Cube > I've done nothing. It just seems like a bit of a hell-hole I read this and was like 'uhhh what am I getting myself into?' http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress I might just have a pop at the install process, but it's just a bit shit doing it on my craptop cause it's fucking terrible.

Daft Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 I honestly think the only difference is community. Tumblr has a very certain ethic to it, as do Wordpress/Blogger. What do you want to blog about? Tumblr is pretty much my online scrapbook, for anything I find or any editing/design I do.
dwarf Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Actually screw WordPress. Just can't be doing with extracting shit, that goes beyond my PC and my mental strength. Let's hope you're right Daft.
Daft Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 I only ever used the web interface for Wordpress. What do you want it for exactly?
dwarf Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Deeeep thoughts, cause I'm a totally deep person and all. But otherwise general musings and occasionally something detailed about an interesting thing that may have happened/realisations etc. Not really the same reasons as you I guess but ain't that the beauty?
dwarf Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I'm not planning on just tapping out whimsical bullshit though. Currently sorting through settings and shizzle. I like Tumblr.
Daft Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 Worse comes to worse it does have its uses as a place to just go a bit crazy.
Dyson Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Man, yeah. I use it as a personal blog, a friend of mine uses it as a Music Technology resource, another uses it strictly for TV show quotes they like, one for Reblogs only and so on and so forth. Tumblr is the shit.
dwarf Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 @ Daft: In that case be sure to tune in next week. @ Dyson: Cooool.
Daft Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 Tumblr is definitely where I keep all my insane.
