It’s been over seven months since I decided to move from a very geeky, blogging platform. I told myself at the time, I’d stick with tumblr as my blogging platform for a year.
Checking in during the past seven months, I haven’t had one thought of switching to a new service; a small victory. Will it last? Who knows, but at this point tumblr is the perfect platform for what I like sharing.
The next challenge is writing more. Shouldn’t be too much of a problem with the tools being so easy to use.
Here’s looking to another six months on tumblr.

As I’m testing iOS 6 beta, my go to Tumblr app, Writing Kit, isn’t working. I knew going in many apps wouldn’t work.
I’m using Blogsy to write this. I’m pretty impressed with the integrated social services: Flickr, YouTube, Instagram and Vimeo. It’s also really simple to search Google and launch Safari.
Markdown is an option, which I’ll turn on as default. It’s how I format online content.
Blogsy provides a ton of formatting options as well. Everything you’d expect is here. I’m impressed.
The best way to consistently write, is to write.
I spent way too much time in the past few years fiddling with how I write and publish to the Internet.
I tried all the latest and greatest writing apps. I installed and tweaked command line blogging platforms. But, I realized it all comes down to taking the time to write.
Tumblr, over the last two weeks, seems to be the simplest way for me to share what I’m writing. The best part is that it’s almost frictionless. It just works. And I can just focus on writing.
Life is full of choices.
Tonight I’ll tackle the first three. If I can’t sleep after watching The Walking Dead, I may get some reading in. We’ll see.
