I don’t blog. It would be presomptuous to say otherwise. I consider a blogger someone who writes a few posts a day. For the moment, a share a few thoughts a week.
However, when I look at my archives, I realize that I’ve been sharing more and more over the last months. My Tumblr tumblog, which I created almost a year ago, has been fantastic in driving me into writing and sharing more: it can be viewed as a microblogging tool, and so is an easy, simple and light introduction to blogging. Some people, as Tumblr investor Fred Wilson, use it to centralize there internet “activities” feeds: twitter, flickr, main blog, music, … I used it to start blogging.
There are two key selling points that got me addicted to the service: 1) the bookmarklet, which makes writing a thought a click away, and 2) the mobile uploads, which I am fond of for sharing pictures on the go. Then I also started playing with my feeds, first importing twitter and flickr to tumblr, and then the other way round. And finally, I started realizing some features were missing, that I would have liked to have: comments (even though I installed Disqus), categories, pages, search engine friendly URLs, menu, …
You get it: I now wanted a blog, not a microblog. But I still wanted the ease of use of Tumblr, i.e. the bookmarklet and the mobile posting. So I first installed Wordpress on my Dreamhost laurentk.com domain, and then added two plugins: Quick Post , a tumblr style bookmarklet, and Postie, an advanced mobile posting plugin. I now have the ease of posting of tumblr, but the functionalities of wordpress - and maybe I’ll start “blogging”, more than “sharing”.
