I've got so much to do before I start posting on it. x_x

(I can't even do that in the phonetic one..)
Which phonetic alphabet?
I just have a general tumblr. And I don't really update it that frequently. So ill probably just stick stuff up on there.

Ive decided to create one myself, as a gallery/blog of my adventurers in Eorzea heh. once i get used to Tumblr, never had an account on there before lol
I have one for Li'ur, but the process of moving back to the US has caused me not to update it a whole lot. Currently, I plan to post drabbles along with small bits of art. I do have the ask open for prompts and questions though, so anyone can submit stuff if they'd like. Granted, my laptop doesn't have internet at this moment.

I like the idea of using it as a gallery blog, uploading images from my adventures, once i learn how to use Tumblr haha
If you're using it as a gallery blog, it shouldn't be too hard to get the controls down. The dashboard is fairly self explanatory once you see it. Just click the appropriate media you're uploading and voila! Don't forget to tag (or not) your pictures appropriately.

Mostly Gallery yea, especially to start. I'm not very talented a writer. One reason so many of my character bios end up unfinished or shared ;/
Did I see correctly that we'll b able to tag or mark each thing as private? I dont really want mt Tumblr to turn into some weird spam fest as i made one specifically for my FFXIV character and travels lol
Not quite private. You really only tag posts to categorize them, but that's completely left to the uploader.Spam shouldn't be too much of a problem since only your posts and the blogs you're following appear on your dash. Tumblr does suggest blogs from time to time though.
I have a
general tumblr that is mostly about games/TV/books/films and I'm posting FFXIV stuff there.
I made a tumblr that I did literally nothing with after making it, think I'm going to turn it into a place to put my screenshots.
I have bantered with the idea of having an IC/OOC journal back in EverQuest.
In essence, I'd make an IC post of what I did in the game that day, with pictures and the like, and then below that make an OOC posting of my feelings of how things went etc.
I'd be willing to do so here once I get used to it more and it goes live.

technically not phonetic, otherwise we have some un-needed characters in there. and theres more than the latin one, the Japanese Kanji is phonetic for instance. (At least according to some Japanese people I knew, they could of course have been lying XD )
Since I'm sort of banking on the idea of FF XIV being the MMO that really gets me back into RP, plus having recently discovered what a tumblr is, I'm on-board with making one for my main. Mostly just for a screenshot gallery. But if my rusty writing gears start cranking again, I might keep an IC journal for him, too. Not that my main is the type to keep a journal. But that doesn't mean I can't keep one for him. =)
The problem I have with any sort of journal is I get half-way through a post, wonder if it's even worth saying, and then just scrap the entire thing. So we'll see how it goes. I used to keep this kind of stuff collected in whatever RP guild I had joined, but I like the idea of having a personal link that I can maintain myself, and can be ported around if/when I move somewhere else (guild-wise).
I amassed a small tiny collection of open beta screenshots of my new adventures. I'm not sure if i'll use them for my characters Tumblr gallery just yet. I will look them over and decide. I may take fresh ones to add to the collection during early access/launch to begin my visual journal so to speak. At least if i can come up with satisfying captions lol.
I took a few shots that impressed a friend who wanted to see some visuals of the game heh. bonus.
