    There may be Boards.ies who are also Tumblr.s?

    http://anouilh.tumblr.com/

    Photos uploaded there have a choice of colour background, unlike Flickr.

    I <3 tumblr.

    I've used them on a number of projects, both personal and work related.

    Its such an easy interface.

    At a technical level i've two issues with the service (that I can and do live with);

    a) the template system is not the easiest to work with (unless you happen to be really good at web design/style sheet competent/etc..)

    b) It's limitations on image width at 500px (i think) to me is quite restrictive in order to appreciate photography.

    I wrote a tutorial/how to, on how to get it to font end your web site or domain url i.e. it doesn't have to be a yourname.tumblr.com as your web address.

    All in all, it is an excellent service.

    I use Tumblr and find it good.
    As stated by ACD the restriction on image size sometimes hinders the look of the pics. But for free.......you can't go wrong.

    I must also thank ACD for the tutorial on how to point my domain url to the Tumblr site.

    In this day and age, trust somebody Irish to have a Tumblr page that looks like a Geocities reject:

    Also, mine:

    Thank you for linking.

    If you have a Tumblr account, ACD, I'll follow it.

    Also, there are quite a few Irish blogs there that have wonderful photos.

    Worth rummaging a bit...

    I remember I joined this when it was first mentioned here a few months back. Totally forgot about it 'til now though. So I added a pic and plan on doing more, given the look of it!

    You have your domain forwarding. Not sure if you are aware but you can get it to be your domain, i.e. that you don't see the .tumblr.com bit at all. All you would see is the www.iamjpg.com (apologies if you already know that ;))

    I shall be taking a break from chatting until the New Year. Twitter, Tumblr and Blogs will be updated from time to time.

    Here's wishing all Boards.ies a Very Happy Christmas.

    Tumblr could be a useful way to share Christmas greetings, recipes and humour.
