Tumblelog using Movable Type

It seems that tumblelog is getting more popular. And I am sure it will be more popular after Davidville, Inc. released a tumblelog service called Tumblr.

And I see more Indonesian tumblelogs there.

I created an account at Tumblr. My first impression was: it’s nice. Simple and it works.

I started my own tumblelog last September 2006. It’s called sambl. Well, if we have a Tumblr account, we can set the “publishing” setting to our own domain. It’s an easy process. I post from Tumblr, and use my own domain as the public URL. But, I choose not to use this feature.

I decided to use Movable Type as the platform. My tumblelog is 100% made using Movable Type. My only reason is that Movable Type can do exactly what I want (at least for now) to have. I can manage all posts by category, tags, individual entry link (permalink), paging navigation, etc.

Enjoy!
