Have any ideas about how we can further spread our Obidala love throughout the Interwebs? Perhaps a Tumblr account? Or perhaps Twitter is the way to go with daily links to featured Obidala art, fics and vids? We'd be happy to hear any kind of feedback or suggestions you may have. We are always looking for ways to extend the Obidala love beyond the reach of our forum ( obidalaalways.proboards.com/ ). |

Okay with twitter, as I have an account there = = I am such an ignoramus about tumblr, and do not know how to vid, or make gifs, etc. I really would like to learn about it and have yet to reblog ... or do much of anything over there. *same username over there and on twitter*

So let me ask then, as a total tumblr noob . . . how in the heck does it work? Lol. I mean is it like twitter in the sense that people post a bunch of different things and then tag them according to subject and then people can search for the subject and find all the stuff? Or is it more like LJ where tags are not site-wide but are sort of confined to each person's page?

I don't know if any is better then the other but I kinda like tumblr. The atmosphere is so great, so many fans gathered in one place. When I first started out I was completely lost.. but slowly I've started to find my way around. It's more like twitter then I guess. I don't have twitter or livejournal (anymore). On tumblr you can follow specific people and their posts comes up on your dashboard. And you can track tags, this was better before, you could see your tracked tag on a sidebar and tap on one and see all the new post with that tag, you can still do this but now the tracked tags show themselves when you click on the search tag space. It's not perfect with the tag system, I'm sure one can search better then I can and find ALL posts. What I mean is, you can't search for halfwords like obida* and it finds related words, it just says no post found. Attachments:

I think tumblr would be a great idea  I absolutely love it, it's so addictive but so much fun. Sadly, Obidala is lacking there which upsets me, so if we created a tumblr page, that would be awesome |

Okay, thanks for the tips - everyone. I used to be completely confused and now that mood is ... partway confused, but these notes definitely help! There is a bit of Obidala on youtube and a lot on 'literary' sites like TFN and FFN and LJ, so there's that.

8-)I am learning, bit by bit - the site *unless I am completely misreading the instructions* does not enable e-mail alerts to messages? This means that in order to receive messages from fellow tumblr-folk one must hang out there all the time. If I'm wrong on this, ACK and please tell me.

Um, I'm absolutely certain that when people send me messages on tumblr, I get an email alert for them. I think maybe it's optional(?). If you go on your settings page, there might be somewhere that you can change that. I haven't actually checked. |

Thanks for all the insight, everyone. Very helpful. I feel like I have a better idea of what the deal is. Nat? I sent you a message about all this on the OFF.  |

pronker, Briseis is right about the message alert, you can customize that in settings. And glad you're less confused I vote for a tumblr account Also, I wanted to add more photos to the previous post I wrote to make it easier but I don't know if or how one attach more then one file. Here is an other, with my search space out. Attachments:
