Tumblr is a social media platform which lets you maintain a basic online journal called a tumbleog -- somewhere between a full-length journal and a migroblog. A tumbleog is not as fully-featured as traditional blogging sites but it offers you more scope than many microblogging services, such as Twitter with its text-only restriction and 140 character limits. A tumbleog lets you get the hang of online journalling via a no-frills platform that's easy to master. Tumblr is also a good choice for mobile blogging since the lightweight site works well on mobile devices.
