why tumblr?
Section on the choice of blogging tool, explanation and evaluation
having a little experience with it before, tumblr was chosen as a popular blogging tool which has simple yet pleasing to the eye design, moreover easy, convenient and pretty post creation.
pros:
simple yet attractive design (font, items etc.)
many options to highlight important elements/edit post to make it more convenient to read (different font, font size and colors, bulleted/numbered lists etc.)
customisable options in blog design (background, custom theme etc.)
many tools to make post prettier and more interesting: image, video, gif, link embedding, polls and so on.
dates on posts
stylish text
communication with followers through comment sections etc.
hashtags
cons:
no possiibility to create sub-menus (though can be done through hashtags)
no filtering (i.e. from latest to newest)
at first post creation may seem tricky and some features are working better from mobile app
custom theme may not have so many free options in comparison to other blogging tools, but I find beauty in simplicity and tumblr is a great example of it! it completely fulfills the idea of a blog itself: place for the content sharing, where ideas, texts, explanations, content itself is a crucial component. it feels free to speak here!
so i guess tumblr has a solid 9 at this point and i have not regretted choosing it not on a minute.
