Socchan's Categories of Dreamwidthposts on Tumblr
Last thing I'm going to do tonight and then I'm going to bed for realsies, I swear.
I post a fair amount about Dreamwidth on Tumblr every time things look like they're going to shit there, because I love Dreamwidth and want more people to come hang out here, and I want to archive those posts over here. Tomorrow, I'm planning to go through my various Dreamwidth posts and sort out what's useful here and what's redundant. To that end, I'm going to sort them into what I think of as the categories of Dreamwidth posts I make.
These are the categories of posts I think I make about Dreamwidth; I may discover more in my organizing tomorrow, but I think this is a good start.
1) Love Letters to Dreamwidth
Any time Tumblr seems to be in danger, and sometimes for unrelated reasons, I write a post about why I love Dreamwidth and why I think a lot of people would also love it here. These are posts about that.
2) Links to Dreamwidth guides
Anywhere I collect links to guides other people have written about Dreamwidth. I'll probably just collect the direct links for those, rather than my reblogs of them, though I may also round all those links up into a single post for people to reblog on Tumblr.
3) Dreamwidth guides I've written myself
Sometimes I answer questions about how to do Dreamwidth; this is that
4) Dreamwidth cultural guides
There's some pretty significant cultural differences between Dreamwidth and Tumblr, and I talk about them in these posts. I certainly don't expect Dreamwidth to stay 100% the same with a huge influx of new users who bring their own experiences and posting styles from elseweb, but some of these differences stem from the technological side of things (such as no native reblogging feature, and tags being strictly organizational), so I figure that's important to know.
Okay, bed time now, I promise.

Tumblr has laid off half of its staff, including a lot of the more senior employees. They're reportedly down to 25 people at most.
