Replicating Tumblr

One of the things I tried to set up on this blog ages ago was the “asides” plugin, that worked well for throwing short little thoughts into the mix with longer posts. They stood out because they were formatted differently.

Tumblr has that same appeal, and it adds the ability to easily quote things and add pictures and import Tweets. I’ve asked for a Tumblr Wordpress plugin, but in the meantime I’m going to do a few low-effort things to replicate that functionality.

I made a new style for quotes that resembles the Tumblr style. I’m going to start putting quotes in the mix here with the post headline “quote,” just like the post below. I’m also thinking about pulling my RSS feed from Twitter into The Loop somehow (that means in line with these posts).

We’ll see.
