I was thinking about tumblr but idk

I do have a tumblr but it's really random

blogspot
xanga
livejournal
tumblr
whatevs

if you bloggers could advise me on pros and cons, that'd be cool too



btw Carrie I notice you're an active blogger so I wouldn't mind hearing from you ;D


I don't really want to see this moved to RC but it probably will 'cause I see Thomas down there. boo
prove me wrong

i think tumblrs good. i wouldn't use tumblr if i was going to have a text based blog, but that's just me. i was a writer for a blog a while ago that was set up on wordpress and i really liked how that was set up. it was never my job to customize the layout so i'd probably take brandon's advice on that if you are really into the layout being customized.


i prefer livejournal for my personal text based blog. mostly i do becuase my blog is private and i share different posts with different friends/family and livejournal has a nice set up that you can group people into different categories to control who see's what. it's easy to use in general though and easy to customize the layouts.


blogspot is sorta ugly set up to me _unsure.gif

Mike's hooking it up, so I'm not too worried about anymore. For simply text based entries, it works. Posting pictures, especially hi-def pictures, can be a pain in the ass.
