For better or worse, Pen Pals, I love Tumblr-ing much more than I love blogging. Blah Blah Blah-ging. So this site has a new format, and the content will be more streamlined between here and Tumblr (so you only need look at one, not both–one stop shopping). Perpetual thanks to Annie -Curbside Treasure- for her co-Tumbling; I owe her tea and scones forever!
ETA (8/16/12): Turns out it’s not as easy as I hoped to merge content back and forth, so the sites will stay separate for now, with some linking back and forth…
May this usher in many more good mail days for us all!

Tumblr confuses me. It’s not a blog, is it? Just a reposting of pictures from other people’s blogs. It takes ages to load and you can’t comment.
Yes, it’s true, it does have its limitations. I like the ease of it, and many people *do* use the Tumblr platform as one for blogging (albeit not terribly wordy) original material, but yes, you’re right: the vast majority of content is re-posted content. I’ve been going back and forth on it quite a lot, really–and I haven’t come to any conclusions yet. There are aspects of it that I enjoy, and others that make it less than ideal. Jury is still out.
