Top 10 Tips for New Bloggers From Original Blogger Jorn Barger. It’s funny that, ten years after Barger coined the term weblog, his tips now apply more to tumblelogs than weblogs, as most people understand those terms.
« »The smart thing to be doing online these days is tumblelogging, says the Telegraph. Oh dear.
« »Tumble is a lightweight, minimalist, blosxom-like thingy for making a tumblelog. It’s nothing to do with Tumble, as in the site you’re reading, which is powered by WordPress–drop me a line if you want the templates.

tumbleicio.us is, as you might expect, a site for “reviews, how-to’s, and more–all on tumblelogs”. It’s brand new, so there’s no content–worth keeping an eye on, perhaps.
« »The Tumblelist–the canonical listing of tumblelogs. It never really caught on, did it?
« »chris blogs: Celebrating One Year of Anarchaia–The time has come, and today experimental, impressionistic sub-paragraph tumblin’ is a whole year old! (Anarchaia was the inspiration for this site. )
« »DRUIDSTREET V. – it’s only a tumblelog made with Backpack. Web 2.0 singularity approaches.
« »Tumblelogs; just a fancy name for the weblogs people like me used to have back in the day, really, back when Blogger was state-of-the-art. Before Movable Type made us put a title on everything, and suddenly posting a link or a snapshot of your thoughts wasn’t ‘substantial’ enough. Of course then linklogs came along, and del.icio.us and Flickr and all that jazz, and it seemed like every component of what a weblog used to be had been spun off into its own format, its own identity. Like sit-com characters starring in their own shows. — MacDara Conroy, nails Tumblelogs on his newly tumbly weblog.
