tumblr

G+ is my social networking site of choice. Just dont have the want for anything further right now. I've heard that tumblr is interesting though.
 
flipping through these accounts, it's a shame more of yea don't contribute to the fashion thread. don't get discouraged if your first post doesn't get head; we see it and are paying attention.

and damn, i prefer just about every other benzo but bars are sexy.

also i'm furious about pinning. you can click them and they go away, but only until your next refresh. its driving me insane! and not just pinning, but how so bad some of them are.

you should download tumblr savior for google chrome. makes it so that you can get rid of pinned posts for good and also blacklist certain things from showing up on your dash

i have tumblr savior (safari), but i only really use it to blacklist spoilers
but i suppose i haven't seen a pin in awhile, i guess it's working.
 
I dont have Tumblr Savior, and never have. I havent seen a pin in so long, maybe even a year. The only extension I use is Xkit which Ive only been using for about a month.

There's a checkbox in the settings area that allows you to choose to unpin any pinned posts automatically so that they won't show on the dash. Maybe you already have it checked? It's so useful, I love it
 
so tumblr savior is the first i'd heard of apps to help you with tumblr. do any of you know of anything or have a strategy for managing your likes? it's an important archive to me, but i have long ago stopped developing short-term memories, am nearing 10,000 likes, and am sure many of them are doubles. and it's impossible to go through them all. is there some way other than dragging and dropping them all onto my computer and then going through and organizing in folders--which is a never ending project i am in with the few thousand fashion/film/portrait pics already on my comp--to organize your tumblr likes?
 
^^ that is a good question, and so far all i can say is use your queue more often, and have some discipline, darling! i keep my likes to under 500, and really at 350 i start getting nervous. i then spend an hour and decide what i liked to reblog or read later and deal with accordingly -- the queue or bookmarks or what have you, and get rid of the rest. i've zeroed out twice, but it was still saying i had "10" likes that were dead blogs which YOU CANT DEAL WITH FOR SOME FUCKING REASON. but i suppose this doesn't really matter for you because in the years i've been following you i've seen (meaning it appears in my dash, not when i go look at your blog) all of 8 times. what the fuck are you using tumblr for? because i'm using it as a living archive -- i'm an obsessive tagger and never use ridiculous tags so late at night i can be like -- christ what was that elle fanning editorial i really liked? i can use my tumblr effectively without having to shift through piles of doubles and just shit. this is a nice set of scripts but won't do shit for likes, and also depends on your browser. missing e seems to be hella hyped, but since the most recent redesign i don't know if it works.

some guy says this:

You can search your tumblr likes with pages just like you can with your dashboard!
http://www.tumblr.com/likes/page/*pick a number* - for example my first like happens to be on http://www.tumblr.com/likes/page/565 - yours may be higher or lower depending.
It makes it much easier to find something if you have 5,647 of them like I do.
Want to see someone else’s likes?
http://www.tumblr.com/liked/by/callmeblake
(only works if they have their likes public though).
Just insert their tumblr name at the end of that URL (in place of callmeblake).

i cannot stress the importance of tags, but that doesn't mean shit for you right now :(
 
sounds like i fucked myself. i use tumblr to find and collect images. i am horribly paranoid about disappearing media. i can't watch Pigen og skoene, i already have difficulty finding quality davide sorrenti photos of james king, and soon no one will know who katiusha is and her modeling photos will begin to disappear. photo books go out of print and jpegs degrade every time they are re-saved. even if i copy an image to my computer, back it up on a external hard drive, & dropbox it, i still keep it "liked." (many) of these photos are of absurd importance to me.

i don't reblog or post often because i don't know those people and i am not trying to share with them. i guess it would be good to give back to the community by posting images that i could not find on tumblr. or when i can only find a shitty copy on tumblr and use it as a lead to find a good copy through google. instead i am more selective in what i share, and do so with a community i love--bluelight.

but a page would have helped me stay organized. now i have yet another impossible project.

thanks for looking into it and sharing your strategy. wish i would have asked a couple years ago.
