So as per our last post, we’ve got lolstock running on Tumblr. It was set up as a “secondary” or “group” blog, which is another blog(s) under your main account. The benefit was that 1) I already had an account and 2) you can add multiple contributers (but only to secondary blogs, another weirdism).
Now the trouble, as we just found out, is that you can’t follow other Tumblr blogs from a secondary blog. Although we can see how that might cause a bit of confusion on what blog you want to follow what, there are people out there that think this is pretty annoying. Our hope was to connect with some of the other funny, focused niche blogs on Tumblr, perhaps reblog some things, and thought it also might be sort of a “ping” to them that we exist…why not.
There’s another Tumblr tidbit for you to consider pre-Tumbling.
So, question is, do we move to a new account? Doing so is pretty straightforward, might take an hour or two to set up plus move the content, and we’d lose the handful of “likes” and followers we have already. Probably will do it this weekend anyway just to see how it goes.

Ok, lolstock was moved moved to a new account in about 20 minutes, so that’s pretty great. Should be a seamless transition, with the exception of Tumblr followers, everything form the URL to the RSS, analytics, and sitemap should be unaffected. Now we can play around with the new blog.
