Oh, hush, you. I only put puppies up as a de facto introduction post. This is why I need people to follow. I need things to reblog.

I KNOW THIS IS A TERRIBLE MISTAKE, THIS TUMBLR BUSINESS. LEAVE ME TO MY SHAME.

So, if I'm only friends with you two, it should keep me sane, right?

I can't actually get on tumblr easily right now because my laptop is in the shop, but hopefully I'll get it back in a couple weeks and then I'll reblog whatever you post :D

OMG CANDY YAY! I was going to send you a message basically begging you to still be my friend even though I am a terrible LJ friend. My loyalty is still to LJ, but I thought I'd try out tumblr just as a quicker thing to get me excited about fandom again. But I hope you start to feel better about things! It has certainly been a rough time in the shifting age of fandom.

I will follow you! Yayyyyyy you'll still talk to me (even though I deserve nothing)!

Thanks for not just thinking I'm a drama queen. ;-) I followed you. Now I have to figure out how to make it look nice?

2. lol, you're watching it? I SIMPLY DID NOT KNOW. WHY ARE YOU NOT ONLINE DURING MY AWAKE HOURS MORE THEN?

3. I love that the only things you have on your blog are puppies.

And as I was saying the other day before you died, you can find new people to follow from the content on my/whoever's blogs. Just click on the "via"/"reblogged from" button at the end of a post and stalk to your liking.

2. I was watching it! But a lot of that time was spent being half asleep in front of it, and I never brought my computer with me - tennis requires concentration! I don't suppose you watched any of it, considering your general disdain for sports...

3. Puppies are important, yo. Puppies are indicative of my personality (in that they're the only thing I love, so it's all downhill from here).

I have long avoided tumblr as the root of all unhappiness, but alas, after a while it just seemed tempting to get to have something easy. Not that I'm abandoning LJ (even if I have only posted about 8 times in the last calendar year), even if just for principal alone. I believe in LJ. But I also want to write tags.

I've just heard about this xbit business. Who knew that tumblr required apps???

i just started following you, captain. i'm aerintine.tumblr.com, but you do not need to follow me. i am 5000% kpop. though if you want to see how i tag, you are ofc welcome to follow and get a general picture of how that looks and then unfollow whenever.

BEWARE THOUGH: be careful of the tags you use. you want to make sure that you don't use up all your saved tags on stupid shit. tumblr only saves the first 100 or so tags you use. it will save them forever, which is nice if you repeatedly tag the same content. but after that first 100 you can't save any more; you have to type them in each time. this was a horror for me, because i did not know this until way too late, and i used my saved tags on things i will literally never tag again. so now, when i have a fairly routine set of tags i use, i have to type them in EVERY TIME and it is a nightmare.

more advice:

1) get xkit
2) come to my ask box with any questions
3) reblog pretty pictures

GOOD TIPS, ALL OF THEM. All I want to do is use the ask function (it was a solid 45% of why i wanted a tumblr), but now that the moment has arrived I can't think of a single question. Perhaps I should just reuse that tumblr bot q: robots vs. aliens. Or something.

the ask function kind of sucks so if you send someone an ask and don't get a reply within a few days it probably means tumblr ate it. and you have to send it again. one of the annoying things about tumblr.

JAMIE I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE SAVED TAGS THING AND EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE NOW.
