First I saw Leo’s message on Twitter, then I Googled it and found Kottke’s entry on tumblelogs, and of course a Wikipedia entry too.

Tumblr is a free tool to easily create tumblelogs. Leo and Merlin using this, but I think I prefer my custom WordPress template…

Project.ioni.st looks like one of the first tumblelogs in existence. Unlike blogjunkie.net, it’s got multiple authors.

I don’t know what caught a hold of me, but I dropped everything else to re-do this blog and its design.

Probably the thing that got me really excited was the Simpla theme by Phu Ly. Really simple and elegant, clean code, and I really loved the colours too. It gave me a great platform to work from and enhance.

First I added Asides. That was fun PHP hacking :o P Then I added Ultimate Tag Warrior and Extended Live Archives (check out the Archives page). I also changed the post icons a bit.

I’m still thinking about changing the header to give it a bit more personality. A project for another day… In the meantime, I hope I will start to blog more here. Now, to bed.
