Here’s my Tumblr archive for May…
You can see the archive in more detail, here.
They’ve changed the archive layout, which I hadn’t noticed until I went into it to paste this image together. I do tend to look at my own archive page quite a lot, it helps me to see trends and themes that I happen to have been collecting lately. Apparently it doesn’t always help me to spot duplicates though – oops!
I tend to collect images and store them in the queue, so that they can be doled out at regular intervals rather than flooding the dashboard all in one go. Having said that, my queue has almost run dry because I really haven’t been feeling terribly inspired lately. I also worry about the lack of attribution for the vast majority of the images I’ve collected here – which is the main reason I stopped using Pinterest. Between that and Instagram‘s decision to just use people’s photos in any way they liked, I cancelled both accounts because I wasn’t comfortable with having content used in that way.
However, looking at my blog stats today, it seems there’s an increasing trend of links coming through directly from Pinterest – so it looks as though they’ve improved the way that attribution is carried from pin-to-pin. I’ve resurrected my Eternal Magpie account, but haven’t yet decided whether I’m going to switch away from Tumblr, or use both for different things. I guess I’ll play around with both for a while, time permitting, and see how it goes.
