Tumblr Winning and Failing

Well..

I was wondering I wouldn’t get any followers… surely there are people out there with similar interests?!?  If not followers, at least someone would find one of my posts and Like it or Reblog it. 

I started conducting Searches myself using tags that I normally use.  None of my posts were ever included with the results.  Even my own posts, when searching my archives through my blog, I would get No Posts Found. 

Turns out Tumblr has been having problems with the Search function… a few hours after my email to them last night regarding whether or not anyone else could even find my blog, my posts starting appearing in Search results.  Winning…

I got an email today explaining that they are working on the Search functionality… Winning… and there will be upgrades soon to come… Partial Win

After rolling out the New Dashboard (i don’t mind the change) I noticed, for my Theme, the Submit link is now gone on my blog… FAIL… How can my readers Submit anything to me.  I checked the HTML and the coding is still there but the /submit URL doesn’t work. FAIL

The Services tab is gone from the Customize page… FAIL How do I autopost to Facebook?

I’m happy that they are working on upgrades and fixing any bugs… but at least send out an email telling us that we are going to lose certain functions and give us a FAQ sheet to help some of us find where they moved the more common stuff…

anyway… that’s my 2 fucken cents

you can Reply or use the DISQUS comments section on this post’s page

What do you think?

I wish Everyone would use DISQUS

I don’t always want to reblog a post and I certainly don’t always like a post.  However, there are posts that resonate with me, stirs an emotion, strikes a chord, or disgusts me and I may have an opinion or some statement to make.  Well, DISQUS is free and it enables basic commenting with some other features.

How do I add comments to my blog?
All of Tumblr’s featured themes let you easily install Disqus comments via the Customize page.

Would be nice to be able to have a discussion on a single post without having to include a question mark to allow people to reply. Anyone can reblog or click like but “how do you really feel?”

I just thought I’d put it out there.  I installed it on my blog (it was quite simple)
