social media

[seventhe]

Like everyone else, I am testing this new crosspost function. Personally I think Tumblr is a shit place for blogging - a shit place for a lot of things, honestly; that doesn't mean I don't like it, because I very much do like it, but there is a reason my Tumblr consists of nature photos and stupid cat shots, and that's because Tumblr Drama - but I'm recently finding some solace in social media, and if there's a chance that this new function helps Tumblr grow in a blogging sense and maybe helps connect with interesting people, it is worth a try.

I've also woken up my Instagram and linked that with my Tumblr, so if I randomly followed you out of nowhere, that's why. I like pictures; Instagram and Tumblr may have them.

EDIT - if you use Instagram for funsies then friend me: seventhe

It's an experiment that may or may not stick around, but it is worth trying.

You still have not followed me on tumblr! Which is fair, I post very little of substance. I just reblog pretty fanart, tbh.

Instagram is something I haven't even peered at, though, despite my love of taking pictures on my phone. Do you like it so far?

[seventhe]

Omg! I HADNT REALIZED I AM SORRY. LET ME GO DO THAT NOW SHIT

here - reblogged fanart, vines, and pictures of Scotland. That's all it is. :D

AS mine is cats and nature, I find this entirely adequate.

I use instagram for funsies! I also blog a lot of pictures on tumblr, because I agree, it's terrible for text posting.

In here via Tumblr.

FWIW, the body of that "recipe" (i.e. "mini program" to dinosaurs) can be tweaked something along the lines of:

x-posted from <span style="white-space: nowrap;"><a href="{{EntryUrl}}">My Dreamwidth</a></span> | <a href="{{EntryUrl}}?mode=reply&style=mine">Leave a comment, yo</a>

which turns

Good to know. Next time I am at a real computer and remember it, I can tweak to my heart's content. :D

It's nice to see more people doing this. :)

I've developed a serious love-hate relationship with Tumblr over the last couple of years, but if crossposting helps me develop the love aspect and cut back on the hate, that would be grand.

My thoughts exactly - I'm at the neutral-to-judgy end of the spectrum re: the "Tumblr Community" -- but then again, I'm offering little of my own content. SO maybe my opinion will change as I participate more.

I have a tumblr in that I creep my feed and haven't posted on it for a year

I am on instagram and I'm adding you. It's mostly for pretty random things tbh. :D
