i love tumblr so much i decided to use it as an actual blog (not that i blog much with, you know, school). totally following you now! (and i agree, tumblr is way better than twitter).

I barely use my Twitter account, but I will make sure I follow you! Nice to hear from you and take all the time you need. :)

I have been a little behind in some of my blog reading, so my most heartfelt condolences to you…

Take all the time you need…

But I did notice you started following me on twitter, which is exciting since I have barely used it thus far.

*powerhugs*

I’m afraid I haven’t got a clue how to work any of that stuff.

I’m still just learning . . . but you can read tumblr like any other blog!

I’m afraid I haven’t got a clue how to work any of that stuff. But…

It’s still too much; hopefully at the beginning of next week.

I second what Renee said. Come back when you’re ready – don’t feel any obligation to rush it.

Take your time and come back when you are ready. In the meantime I am enjoying tweeting with you.

it’s about the template you choose. i did a search for free tumblr templates and there’s a lot to choose from. it helps if you have some basic html skills to do the customization, but it tells you how to paste it into the tumblr box so it all works right.

if you like the one i use, you can find it at http://sid05.com/
i then customized the “about me”, the links, and it adds the tiny icons for the people i’m following automatically.

i also recommend browsing around other people’s sites – most of the templates are free and pretty easy to find so you should be able to copy anything you find that you like.

Yay, someone new to follow! And thanks. Now I just have to get you to tell me how to get stuff in your sidebar. Is it about which template you choose, or are they widgets that you paste into the html code?

i’m on tumblr! i talk mainly about social justice issues – today i’ve talked about commercial surrogacy in india, the effect of the US drug war on mexico, why soldiers who killed someone are more likely to support the war, and why LA is spending tons of money and city energy on a single elephant while thousands are homeless. oof! that’s a lot!

i suggest finding out who is following you (www.tumblr.com/following, then click on the number following you) and checking out theirs to see if you like them. then just look for reblogs of other people, etc, to widen your network. there is no good way to search for interesting or topical blogs on tumblr. :(
