This is more or less a test post...

It has been ages since I left LJ back in the days ... and I get flashback memories here just now...

I am not 100% sure I will stay here. If tumblr gets this feature up that is supposedly there to replace the replies "soon" (when is soon??) I might forgive them and give them some more time. Until then I will try to crosspost my new art and stuff over there and here and deviantART as well.

But yeah... it's good to know this place exists.
And maybe things on tumblr will turn to the better again next week, when I have no time for internet stuff because I am across the country to a conference for 4 days...? Hope dies last, right?

Yeah, it's really too soon to see how this site will turn out, isn't it? If people don't come here and use the site, there's not much point to it. But I'm sure getting fed up with tumblr. Especially the search feature debacle. Hopefully they get their act together and start fixing things to make the site more usable again.

I am interested to see what they come up with for the new reply system but considering Tumblr's recent history I'm not terribly hopeful for how successful it'll be. That being said, currently them messing up the tag search feature is actually probably worse for me :/ I needed that functionality to get my stuff seen, darn it!

Unfortunately I'm not actually sure what to do about that since DW isn't great for that kind of content sharing either and it's been a while since I've had a deviantArt account. I'm also reluctant to just dump my tumblr like that because I like the people I follow there but it's definitely felt much more quiet and isolated than before they made those changes.

I'm liking DW so far for other things though, it feels like a place where 'personal blah blah' is much more acceptable than it is on tumblr. Though that might be just me - I always feel like my own personal posts are cluttering up my blog a bit when it should be reserved for actual fun stuff!
