tumblr is a microblogging platform, which service allows users to post multimedia and other content to a short-form blog.
Dashboard – The dashboard is the primary tool for the typical Tumblr user. It is a live feed of recent posts from blogs that they follow.Through the dashboard, users are able to comment, reblog, and like posts from other blogs that appear on their dashboard. The dashboard allows the user to upload text posts, images, video, quotes, or links to their blog with a click of a button displayed at the top of the dashboard. Users are also able to connect their blogs to their Twitter and Facebook accounts, so whenever they make a post, it will also be sent as a tweet and a status update.
Queue – Users are able to set up a schedule to delay posts that they make. They can spread their posts over several hours or even days.
Tags – For each post a user creates, they are able to help their audience find posts about certain topics by adding tags. If someone were to upload a picture to their blog and wanted their viewers to find pictures, they would add the tag #picture, and their viewers could use that word to search up posts with the tag #picture.
HTML editing – Tumblr allows users to edit their blog's theme HTML coding to control the appearance of their blog. Users are also able to use a custom domain name for their blog.
This is the tumblr page of A.K. which is used just to share content that she found and liked:
http://audkawa.tumblr.com/
And here her actual web page:
http://www.audrey-kawasaki.com/
Checking both of the sites is made clear that tumblr doesn't seem the best page to show off your work, whatever is your field. in comparison with the platforms we have seen already and the professional webpages of the artists.
In this concrete one ( Kawasaki's one) we find a simple, easy organizated, and beautifully done page, with a wood background, giving a clue about the kind of work the artist does, as she paint usually in wood panels, letting see many times the patterns of the wood, and giving with them a sweet, natural, melancholic tone. In this same way she used wood, as a reference of herself or her work, on her website.
