Day two of my online renovation

Step Two in my project to update, improve, or close my various sites, blogs, twitters, and other forgotten outposts is completed – and it means bye-bye Tumblr.

Mostly.

My main site has always been ReverendMoonbeam.co.uk but I was briefly swayed by the community of Tumblr. However, recent policy changes by Tumblr made me wonder, ‘What happens to all my content if Tumblr kicks me off?’ It’ll be gone. While I have a domain name for my Tumblr, AmorDeCosmos.com, many people use the standard hosting of name.tumblr.com. I could reclaim my traffic – the standard people will lose it.

From now on, ReverendMoonbeam.co.uk is my home site. I have set my Tumblr to pull in my main site’s RSS feeds for my Tumbling folk.

Elaine suggested back on Step One that I kill my Twitter. I’m still pondering this – it’s pretty bloody useless.
