I was looking through the blogs I follow and was really impressed with the layout that my cousin uses, so I totally stole it (called Magazines in the Dynamic Views Templates here on blogger). After doing that, I realized I had bee neglecting this space for my Tumblr so I did some clean up here. Why have both? Well, they each do something well. Blogger is easy to use on a desktop, but no so much from the mobile device. I find it harder to post and repost things in Blogger. On the other hand, I like the commenting and more feature rich setup here in blogger. In order to do both with as little work as possible , I use a third service called Posterous. It lets me post to numerous place at once and then I can go to the individual spaces and edit as I need.
Update: Since I wrote this, Posterous appears to be tanking thanks to being acquired by Twitter. Also, I shifted www.jamesthegeneralist.com to point to Blogger rather than Tumblr. Tumblr is by far much easier to share posts on Facebook, but I prefer the look here on Blogger.
Hey, cousin! Have you heard about Pinterest? It is photo sharing. You can comment and repin. It is very addictive if you are into aesthetics.
