Trying this Tumblr ‘thing’… (part 2)

So, my first post a month or so ago was that I’m trying out Tumblr. My previous blog was on Wordpress and when I switched hosting, it got a little messed up. I stumbled across Tumblr and thought I’d try it out.

The verdict? I love it.

Don’t get me wrong…I’m not saying it’s better than Wordpress. Wordpress is an amazing content management system, never mind blogging platform. It SEOs like magic and is very easy to customise…amongst many other great attributes.

So, why do I like Tumblr so much? Well, I’m not a massive writer. I’ve got friends and co-workers that write fantastic prose…they are funny, eloquent and far better at writing full-on blog posts than me. I mostly like to share quotes I’ve heard/read, presentations and links, infographics and beautiful photos. Tumblr makes it a little less daunting to just send out snippets. I guess it’s inbetween Twitter and Wordpress.

Tumblr doesn’t SEO as well…but at least I’m actually posting content, instead of leaving it for ages, thinking of updating my blog as a task. Now, when I find something I just copy, paste, write a few lines and publish. I’m going to play around with the SEO after I’ve got more published…which will be update no. 3  :)*
