We’ve moved to tumblr! April 8, 2010

Yep, we’re moving to tumblr, here’s our new address: http://mycocoaheads.tumblr.com.

Why?

We’ve shifted to tumblr simply because it is far easier to share stuff on this platform than it is on WordPress. Not to say that WordPress is difficult to use – but we share a fair bit of stuff every now and then, but unfortunately only on twitter as to share on WordPress requires a fair bit of work – I’ll need to create a brand new post for it. Tumblr makes sharing a lot easier and hopefully make this site more informative and interactive.

We’ll be keeping a link to this blog though, as some of our resources are still there. But in the meantime, bookmark the new site and add it to your RSS feeds, because from now onwards, we’ll be tumblaring! (is there such a word)?
