Website

I've been constructing my website, and I've settled on using tumblr as the main hub of my web presence. It’s easy to post to both on mobile and pc, has plenty of users and a great share function so my work can be quickly spread about amongst the public. It also has a wide selection of page themes so choosing one that was both professional looking and easy to navigate wasn’t too hard. Plus it allows for custom domain names which is incredibly helpful.

The domain name I've currently settled on is tdj-illustration.co.uk (Bought from 123-reg.co.uk), however it takes a few days for the new domain name to take effect, in which case the website is also found at tdj-illustration.tumblr.com.

Within the first few days of starting it I already have around five followers, and one image was shared around forty times. I plan to regularly try and increase my following by updating it weekly with new work. I feel certain subjects sync with the tumblr mentality better, and as little humorous comics are some of the most shared things on tumblr I’ll probably try and produce something along those lines every now and again to keep up interest. 

Thankfully by using tumblr I can simply tag my work which then makes it easy to find by other users, which then means it could be potentially shared among other users and so on, giving me publicity.
