I
currently have a Tumblr Account and trust
me, this latest announcement for me is BIG indeed!
Tumblr is finally giving posters the power to
edit their posts as reported in the article “Tumblr
revamps writing tools in ‘big’ update”, published January 29, 2015 By
Trevor Mogg, DigitalTrends.

Like
I said, big news as per their Tumblr Press
Release entitled “Big update
Tumblr”. I currently either run as Administrator or work as an Associate
Editor for at least one other blogs:
If
you're a user of blogging platforms like Tumblr,
you'll understand the frustration of editing on a platform that for the most
part only allows you to post a picture or video and then add words at the bottom,
usually in plain text.
Tumblr now caters to
real bloggers – How Editing tools will make Tumblr hotter than Instagram
I
have a Tumblr Blog but I haven’t
decided on a Theme or a name for it as yet because of these issues. The
alledged Editor will work in-line, a lot like those at publishing platform
Medium as reported in “Tumblr
Takes On Medium With Upgrades To Its Writing Interface And More”, published
28.01.2015 by Sarah Perez, Techcrunch.
I
really was expecting the ability to modify HTML as well, for deeper control of
the blog. After all, not so crazy about having to re-upload content I already
have on Picassa as well as the fact that Tumblr
will have access of all of it on one common platform, even if it is convenient
to use!
Clearly,
Tumblr isn't just about posting videos albeit
Yahoo's CEO Marissa Mayer might have that idea in mind to get YouTubers on her side as opined in my blog article entitled
“Marissa
Mayer's Yahoo Tumblr Partner Program - 30-70 Split to attract YouTube Stars,
Value Brands and Grassroots Fans as Youtube's Kingdom Crumbles”.
There
are writer and bloggers too who want to migrate from Blogger to Tumblr in order to take advantage of their
rapidly growing community which alledgedly has some 420 million monthly active
users back in October 2014 as noted in the article “Tumblr
cleans up its interface in an attempt to entice longform writers”,
published January 28, 2015 06:46 pm By Lizzie Plaugic, The Verge.
Evidence
of this can be seen by the stats of Global
Web Index in my blog article entitled
“Global
Web Index indicates Snapchat is King - Why Tumblr and Pinterest on the rise as
Facebook has higher engagement levels”.
Hopefully
more Writing centric Editing tools, which will b coming in the next two (2)
days, to this already rich Blogging platform will attract quality writers and
also content that's not just focused on posting pictures, Instagram-like in
fashion.
Can’t
wait to start finally using my Tumblr Blog!
