The time is near for me to settle on an online identity. The kids are getting older. I'm about to start my final semester of grad school. I have a new career. So far, I've blogged as a wannabe children's writer, a reader, a mother, and a LIS student (here, here and here).
Whoa. Talk about your Sybil. Right? So, what's it gonna be?
Here's my latest experiment in blogging: bookmobile kids -- It is (or will soon be) a microblog of children's book reviews. I loved the bookmobile as a kid. Plus, since I envision it as a microblog, I'd love for my future hordes of readers to subscribe in their mobile web browser (you know, so they can read my reviews right in the library or bookstore)--so "bookmobile" is also a little play on words. (Clever me. ;-)
I'm not married to the tumblr platform, but the learning curve was short, and I'm happy enough with the results for now. Take a peek. Let me know what you think here, since there's no automated option for on-blog commenting on tumblr--it requires some plug in or development. I'm also taking suggestions for other platforms. (In the end, I might even stick with Blogger, who knows.)

I personally don't like tumblr because of the inability to leave comments. My colleague is the Teatime Librarian (http://teatimelibrarian.tumblr.com/) and very many times I've wanted to link to her or post a comment to something she's said and it just wouldn't happen. In the end I would just either tell her at work if I remembered or sent an email.
Kristi(e),
I was wondering about that. Tumblr seems more like twitter as far as comments. I'm now thinking it's back to Blogger or on to Wordpress.
