Social media

I feel really old today. I have a social media account that I am unable to use. This upsets me for I am a social media demon. I've got it all; Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Google Plus+. Hell I've even got a Linkedin account, not that I ever use it. I don't have a Flickr because I'm not mad about taking proper photos. But the one I just can't seem to get my head around is Tumblr.

My Tumblr page looks bloody lovely. That bit was so easy it was ridiculous. It's not rocket science, clicking on a few buttons here and there and uploading a header image. But can I get the sodding thing to post a blog? Can I buggery.

According to Wikipedia as of 1^st May 2014 Tumblr hosts over 184 million blogs and I can only imagine half of them are wonderfully pretty but have absolutely no content whatsoever. Maybe I'm just being a little bit rude about a perfectly acceptable blogging website. I certainly follow a number of blogs on Tumblr but it does seem to be populated, for the most part, by people who are an awful lot younger than I am.

Perhaps this Tumblr issue is my mid-life crisis. I know I've had a whole host of mid-life crises – I can remember when touch screen mobile phones came out being adamant that I much preferred to use buttons so would never have one, I'm now on my third.

Another possibility is maybe I can't use it because I just don't want to and am dragging my heels and refusing to go in with the masses. Maybe I'm just a hipster who has a Tumblr account ironically. I can't possibly be that person though. I hate that person.

Or it could be that I'm trying to be clever and a bit meta by writing a blog about how difficult it is to write a blog so that when I finally do get my Tumblr to work I can look all super retrospective and shit.

Alternatively this could be a thinly veiled attempt at directing a reader to all my other social media sites but I couldn't possibly be that clever.

I accept that it could be a mixture of all or none of these things and actually the crux of the issue is I am too lazy to sit down and have a proper look at it. There is probably a blog on Tumblr about writing a blog on Tumblr but only if they've managed to get it to post.

Until next time.
