Understanding Tumblr, Scrap-booking on Steroids

I was recently introduced to Tumblr through a friend, Cal, over at the Cave of Cool.  At first I didn't get it.  You get a site, a blog if you will, and you post pictures.  Like these:

As you explore the site if you see some one who constantly post stuff you like then you follow them.  Once you follow them it is like facebook as they post new stuff it pops up on your dashboard.  It is like getting all the cool stuff fed directly to you.

Why would you need this constant feed of pictures?  Well my darling, if you are a hot young blogger like yours truly this is a feed of  pictures not only spark your inner creative writer but they illustrate the thoughts trapped in your head.

Good news...

  • No rain storms last night, so I slept a blissful 6 hours of heaven.  God I love my bed!
  • I don't have to drive with students until Thursday.  Think of all that time to relax and write. 
  • I have started on my short story...I need you guys to keep going on the competition.  I am looking forward to adding in my biggest fan as my next new character.  
  • I am sitting on the precipice of 100 followers.  You know dear reader my obsession with numbers.  This has me crazy happy.

  4. I think their can be lots of meaning of this X letter. So this can be determined by only those people who use that. Therefore that is really a new thing. And it means many things when used in the letters.
