After some coaxing from my friend to join Tumblr, I decided to seriously think of what I wanted mine to be about. I knew I wasn’t going to blog about my personal life. It’s not exciting enough and I’m too private for that route. Then it came to me that I’d do a beauty blog, The Brielle Beauty Blog. I decided I want it to be about anything I found beautiful or girly. It is definitely a girly blog and I love it. I even got my friend Ben to design a header for me. It’s kind of an abstract of my short hair and the name title. That little simple touch makes me love it that much more.
So here I am blogging about my blogging experience.
I think what I love most about tumblr is the versatility for posting. You don’t always have to do a full text post. It can be a quote, audio, video or perhaps the best feature, a reblog. I’m just starting out but I’ve found some great people on Tumblr that I reblog all the time. I also love it because I’m able to post great YouTube videos I’ve found or new songs I love.
It’s probably because of the ease of posting that I post as much as I do. I’ve started blogs before and had a hard time keeping up with them because of the responsibility to do a full text post, or at least one with some text. To be able to hit a “reblog” button and have a post for the day is a big relief.
The only thing I don’t like about Tumblr is that you can’t see any viewer statistics. I’d love to see how many people actually visit the posts I put on Twitter and Facebook. Yet I understand that’s not necessarily the intent of the site. It’s about a community of blog sites that “follow” each other. So I can live with that annoying part of it because I do like the idea of the community “bloggers.”
After class, I’ll shut this blog down and focus primarily on The Brielle Beauty Blog. It’s become a bit of an outlet for me. I’ve been able to post (or repost) things that I find beautiful and think others would too. I’ve also gotten some good feedback on it and my friends are really supportive of helping with any ideas or input I ask of them.
Simply put, I’m really starting to love this dang thing. My friend started a little Tumblr monster.
