New Tumblr Blog

I started a new blog! It's called findmeinthestacks and you can find it on tumblr. Here's the who, what, when, where, why, and how.

Who - me, and you, and anyone who likes books!

What - find me in the stacks (no spaces in the actual title) is going to have pictures and posts about amusing things I find in the stacks. I imagine mostly pictures of funny covers, because I find plenty of those. But I also find unusual bookmarks inside books.

When - it's up and running and I posted the first few posts yesterday! I hope to be doing something on the blog every few days. I hope to post something (sometimes just a funny picture or quote) every few days.

Where - findmeinthestacks.tumblr.com

Why - well, for a while I've been wanting to do something fun but also focused on books and/or libraries. And I've been interested in trying tumblr. Recently I came across an amusing book in the stacks and it was suggested that a do a blog about the book. So I started thinking about what this new blog could be about as a whole.

How - tumblr is pretty cool. I can spend time on the weekend doing posts in advance and then set up a queue so that they are published throughout the week. I plan on posting much more frequently than I do here but it's hard to find the time so I really like that feature! It's also been fun to play around with the html, which has made me realize how long it's been since I played around with html. At one point around midnight last night I accidentally changed the font to white, and (I blame the fact that it was really late) it took me an embarrassingly long time time to find the one little section in which I had to change the #fff to #000. Sigh.

Check it out, and follow me on tumblr!
