Tumbling Along

Have you seen tumblr yet? Are you on tumblr? Do you like tumblr? It seems that tumblr has landed in the circles I travel in and naturally, I had to check it out. I’ve created my own space on tumblr, The Runoff.

So here we go tumbling.

From the get go, I was (and still am) very impressed with tumblr. It is by far the easiest platform I’ve used to date with the ammount of functionality it offers. The dashboard is very intuitive; after only 5 or 10 minutes I was posting text, images, videos and even audio.

One great feature of tumblr is the ability to set up personal domains on the tumblr platform. Easiest website I’ve EVER set up. It’s 3 easy steps: 1. Register your domain name. 2. Point your a-record to their name server. 3. Set up your site with the tumblr dashboard.

They offer a variety of customizable themes as well as a custom HTML options for your site’s appearance. .. All I can say is WOW!

In addition to the web interface, the have developed an iPhone app that is equally user friendly.  This pasts weekend, while in California, I put it to full use and you can see the results over on The Runoff.

So you might ask, what does that mean for 6 Mile Village?

Fear not my throngs of loyal followers. * cough * I’ll still be posting here, but my vision is something like this. Tumblr will be my day-to-day presence. I can’t deny the ease of use and the platform just makes sense for that.

Back here at the Village, I’ll still be sharing long form posts, reviews and general topics of my leisure, but I plan to use this space for the post that I will put more time and thought into. (No comments from the peanut gallery)

I look forward to interacting with all (3) of you in both locations. As always, your thoughts and suggestions are welcome.

If you’re on tumblr, please let me know and I’ll check out your site.
