“A tumblelog is a variation of a blog, that favors short-form, mixed-media posts over the longer editorial posts frequently associated with blogging. Common post formats found on tumbleblogs include links, photos, quotes, dialogues, and video. Unlike blogs, this format is frequently used to share the author’s creations, discoveries, or experiences without providing a commentary. – Wikipedia”
It’s possible that Tumblr may be a good alternative to WordPress for my project. At first glance, it looks perfect. It’s simple, the themes are nice, and there is no sign up for user submission. One of the most exciting discoveries is the social/sharing aspect of Tumblr. If someone made a particularly interesting post on my site, it could be easy spread and shared throughout Tumblr. This would be a great way to easily spread my project and/or the photographer’s work.
You can also get your own domain name for your blog on Tumblr, according to the website.
UPDATE: I’ve played around with customizing my Tumblr blog, and I’m pleased with all the things you can do with it. There are several photoblog themes, plus you have control over the overall design of your blog. You can also upload a header which can serve as a featured image.
