Tumblr

Greetings and Happy New Year to everyone. I survived the holidays, barely. I don't dare step on the scales, but at least I can still fit into my old blue jeans. Hope everyone enjoyed a safe and festive holiday season, and avoided any champagne made in China.

Only yesterday I discovered a nifty (and free) blog called Tumblr. Imagine you are browsing and you come upon a photo, movie, sound byte or web page you would like to 'own' -- you want some way to mark it and to share it. That's Tumblr -- your way to collect 'web things'. The templates aren't thrilling, but they make it pretty easy to get in and customize them yourself, if you so desire. No, what makes it nifty is the Tumblr Button, added to the toolbar of your browser. When you discover something you want to add to your Tumblr blog, just click the button. Tumblr analyzes the page and suggests content to extract -- you can easily modify that, if needed, or add additional text.

You're welcome to look at My Tumblr Blog. Roll to the bottom and click on 'Powered by Tumblr' to learn more.
