For those of us who have been on LJ for quite awhile Tumblr is an exciting place to explore.  It can also be overwhelming and confusing.  Several months ago I began to venture

I agree. There's plenty of room for LJ & Tumblr to co-exist. Like you pointed out they each have their pluses & minuses

Hi there! :)

"It's not an easy place to communicate, mostly because if someone does leave you a comment there's no easy way to reply back as there is with LJ. It's all a one-sided communication. " <--THIS. I keep thinking there *must* be a way to respond to a post. But I've yet to figure it out

I've had a really hard time finding my place in Tumblr-land, unlike LJ where I've made so many friends. I love getting likes and reblogs of my stuff on Tumblr, but it rarely happens. On the other hand I sometimes wish LJ had a Like button which would show me people like the post, but would spare me from getting bogged down in comments I often don't have time to reply to (I know, I'm never satisfied).

I've had a few of my convention photos crop up on Tumblr uncredited, but the same could be said for LJ. For the most part people will reblog with credit and like you said, it's always very flattering. :)

Do I already follow you on Tumblr? Sheesh, I cannot even remember. I try to follow the folks I know on LJ, but Tumblr is still somewhat unintuitive for me.

I keep reminding myself that back in 2006 when I first started using LJ, I also felt a bit lost at times.

Yes, you do. I'm Road To Shambala over on Tumblr. ;)
