Sebelum membuat blog ini, saya sudah lebih dulu membuat blog di Tumblr. Yang pada saat itu saya pikir merupakan platform yang paling tepat bagi saya. Karena saya pesimis bisa membuat tulisan yang agak panjang secara konsisten.
Jadilah blog tersebut sebagai tempat untuk menuliskan hal-hal singkat yang mendadak melintas di kepala saya, yang karena alasan tertentu, tidak bisa saya tuliskan di akun sosial media yang saya punya. And it works pretty well.
But, then, I found a hard time when I was going to write something longer. I just can't accept the fact that my writing might end up going no where, just because no one could find it in Google search result.
Seriously, somehow Tumblr blogs are just terribly difficult to be indexed by Google.
Jadilah saya mencari solusi alternatif. Once, I really considered Wordpress (the free service, of course) as an option because it's well known for being Google-friendly. But it's also a whole new environment for me, it's just too much new things to learn.
So, Blogger then.
Despite the fact that I'm already familiar with its UI, Blogger has something that kind of bugs me. Yaitu kebijakannya untuk melakukan redirect domain menyesuaikan origin country. And I have to compromise with it. Namun saya sudah menyiapkan solusinya.
Diskusi selanjutnya adalah mengenai eksistensi blog Tumblr itu. Should I delete it because of this migration? Or why should I keep it?
I decided to keep them both. Each one of them has superiority at doing something over one another.
I really love Tumblr for writing shorter stuff, thanks to its wide arrange of pre-defined post format. And I find myself more comfortable to write something longer in this blog. So, be it.
You know what's better than an okay solution? It's two-separated great solutions. Because you get the best of both worlds.
