Idea!

I've been using Tumblr for a little while now. I started off slowly and even had friends say they wouldn't follow me because it was so boring. Well, since then it has started picking up steam, even to the point where users reblog my entries. I know, I excite easily.

But I'm torn. I feel like Tumblr is a Twitter for pictures. I've tried writing stuff, but it just doesn't feel right. Including captions just makes my page look sloppy. I'm a simple person, and too much on a page makes me feel claustrophobic. Yet, I want to give an explanation for why I've chosen those pictures.

So do I explain why I like these pictures and risk my Tumblr looking cluttered? Or do I leave my viewers to decipher for themselves, the reason behind my entries?

The good news is that I've come up with an answer! I'm going to integrate my blog and my Tumblr. My plan is to post a picture on Tumblr, and then blog about it's significance here! Sound like fun?

Of course, the plan isn't perfect. People will have to want to put in the effort themselves to get the full experience. And my blog will now be less appealing visually. I'll have to fix that problem somehow.
