Hi, and thanks
Wow, thanks for all your submissions, corrections, and comments. I’ll be getting to the updates this weekend — it’s a pretty nice day outside in Los Angeles, and, well, I’d like to experience it. I’ll post an update when I’m done with the latest edits.
First thing’s first — some of you might know me as the blogger behind the Los Angeles Times Tumblr. I want to preemptively point out that this is strictly a personal weekend project that has absolutely nothing to do with The Times, the Tribune Co., its affiliates, and so on.
Cool, now that that’s out of the way, here are some quick notes:
If you’re an organization, please submit a link with a mailing adress — I won’t publish it, but location markers with generic cities end up overlapping on the Google map. Of course, if you’re a personal Tumblr, I really, really don’t want your personal address for all those liability issues. A general address like the 600 block of Newton Street is totally doable, though, if you find that your location marker is constantly being blocked by some other Tumblr on the map. I’m also considering expanding the list to include the bloggers who run these Tumblrs (it’s an accountability thing — sorry, I’m a journalist), so if you want to include that info too, feel free, though that won’t be ready for a while.
For organizations with multiple Tumblrs: I don’t want the index to get unwieldy, so I suggest making a page in which you list everything you’ve got.
I’m a human, so if you’re a regular on the Tumblr #news scene, and I forgot to include you, then just drop a message. It’s not some personal vendetta or anything. I’ve already noticed a few that I’ve missed because I’m a bonehead. That’ll be corrected this weekend.
