First hand experiences with Tumblr

My e-learning plan for this month was to learn how to use WordPress and Tumblr. The first wish was the included too in plan for the last three months, but probably my time management was a failure lately.
It is how I started first with tumblr. I am still at the beginning, trying to figure out various kind of applications, available or not, from a format to another. But, this is the third day of actively using it, so I don't expect technical wonders.
The first hand experiences by now are positive. Sometimes, I am a bit excited. I am a dedicated user of blogger since 2007. Some of my blogs are successful, some of them not at all, up to the time I dedicated to their promotion and as long as I provided proper content. Despite the high quality content and the active involvement, I am extremely unhappy with the level of interactivity. In the case of tumblr, in the first day of blogging, without any effort of promotion, I had registered traffic and started the dialogue with my followers. The re-blog option - the Re-Tweet version - is a treasure for sharing and commenting ideas. I will continue discovering the hidden treasures of tumblr, and advancing with the professional use of WordPress.
Happy blogging day!

About blogging, travel and good marketing

I enjoyed a lot this interview, with a successful blogger passionate about what he is writing about.
From my point of view, doing what you enjoy is the first step to success. Of course, you need lots of effort, passionate dedication and as much time as possible.
Just plant the seeds, take care of the tree and wait.

Zemanta

My biggest discovery for today is Zemanta, which I started to use extensively for all my blogs. An amazing tool to add content to your blog, pictures and recommended links about the topics you are covering in your post. If your imagination and creativity are low, Zemanta is also offering the opportunity to explore a data bank with possible subjects to write about.

After almost four years of blogging, I am still waiting - enthusiastically, of course - for the moment when my writing products will go beyond the pleasure of writing and upgrade to a very professional level. While waiting, I am improving as much as I can.
