Here's a helpful blog article that explains why Tumblr is a different kind of blogging system from Blogger and Word Press. It's called micro-blogging, and it's not a full-service blogging system. I'd never heard of Tumblr before starting this class a couple of weeks ago and so was not aware of it until my class members started building blogs on it.
There's an add-on app that Tumblr bloggers can use to enable comments--it's called Disqus (like "discuss"--got it!). I recommend that all the Tumblr users in the class, if you are really committed to keeping your blog on Tumblr, try out Disqus. If not, you might consider creating a new blog on Blogger or Wordpress, because commenting and discussing are going to be a critical part of our class assignment.
