Fumbling my way through Tumblr

I recently attended Peace Over Violence's 4th Annual Violence Free Teens Conference. One of the breakout sessions I attended was about understanding and using technology to prevent dating violence. The presenters, from Break the Cycle, went over the ways teens are using technology, and then gave us some suggestions so we can be up to speed on what's happening with teens on line.

Two recommendations that I came away with were finding and subscribing to a good technology site/newsletter, and getting a Tumblr account. The technology blog site I have found and liked to date is Edudemic.

I have had an account for a week now, without much activity I admit. I think one way to describe it is as a blend of Facebook and Blogger... or perhaps just a nice way to scroll through a lot of blogs at once.

The blogs are attractive, however I have found it difficult to search blogs to find Tumblr blogs on topics of interest. And unfortunately, I have found many wonderful educational psychology blogs through TAPSNAPS, and I wish I could subscribe to them through Tumblr, because Tumblr is a great way to scroll through many blogs at once.

I think Tumblr's application may be a more user-friendly way to use blogging for self-promotion and "brand building".
One benefit of Tumblr is it allows complete customization, and offers many more templates than Blogger. I believe this makes it more attractive to professionals in the arts and design fields.
