a minor beta

So, I've been planning to make a slick content delivery blogging machine for the upcoming academic year. I'll have plenty of pictures to share and want to deliver little updates easily. That transition has two steps.

Step 1: A twitter account. Twitter will give me a way to deliver bite-size, 140 character, long posts in an instant. Most people use twitter to tell their friends what they're up to (bad grammar I know). It can be dull stuff like "Buying toothpaste" to neat stuff like "Going to Natural History Museum". A neat way to give a people an idea of what you're doing.

Step 2: Tumblr. Now tumblr is a "micro-blogging" site. Which means you're supposed to have short/micro posts. The main advantage for me is that it looks fantastic. Blogger is a champ, but it's bland. So tumblr will be my replacement for Blogger. You can see the future home of a minor here.

I'll make a proper transition to both new blogging platforms in the Fall. For now they're mostly test-beds for layouts and etc. I think it will be a 1000x better way to share content and really enjoyable.
