I’m one of those bloggers who resides on #Wordpress and just re-posts to #Tumblr: I now know I’ve been missing out. Plan to do more right on it next month! Thanks for the suggestions and info!
Today I’m in Kansas City at a MALA workshop talking about my favorite things: cats, books, libraries, and tumblr. You can find the slides and additional information from the half day workshop at Kaite Stover’s wiki, but here’s the outline and lots of links to accompany my talk. You can also view my slides in googledocs (the gifs animated there, but don’t in slideshare or a downloaded powerpoint).

- Blends traditional blog with twitter and a plus a little instagram thrown in

Tumblr is…
cat gifs
fandom
books, reading, and libraries
your favorite authors and publishers
your community
conversations
and yes, you have to be careful to avoid NSFW content.
Tumblr is…
184 million blogs!
