here's the second-to-last post from the perfect brainstorm, the week-and-a-half-old tumblr blog i'm relocating here (the final post was a link to this blog).
originally posted on monday, january 30, 2012, this is a list of the problems with tumblr that made it impossible for me to enjoy blogging on there. i'm happy to say that every single issue i describe was neutralized simply by moving to blogger/blogspot. the only problem with blogger/blogspot that i can see is that i don't know what to call it. enjoy:
i've decided to move this blog off tumblr. i gave it a good go, but ultimately, tumblr just sucks too hard for me to continue blogging on it. here are the problems with tumblr:
- when you register your first blog, that becomes your "primary blog." any blogs you register after that are not granted as many functions as your primary blog. and there is no way to change which blog is your primary one.
- with no list of posts on the side, it's difficult to find old posts. i imagine in the future, if i wanted to find a specific entry, instead of being able to browse the post titles, i would be forced to manually scroll backward through every single thing i've posted. sounds annoying!
- yesterday i noticed a typo in my second to last entry, so i edited the post, and when i did, the entry was bumped up to the top of the page, like it was a new entry written on that day. i don't like that at all.
- the mobile app for tumblr is just awful. whenever i change the text in the body of a message, the entire screen scrolls wildly back and forth from top to bottom. seems like a bug worth looking into for a blogging app. and since my primary purpose for this blog was to write on the go, the mobile app should be a thing that works so i can use it and have it do the things i want.
maybe tumblr is great for users with different blogging needs, but it is simply incompatible with my personal sensibilities. i will post later with the address of my new blog. sorry tumblr. i hate you.
