One of the benefits of using many different services is that you get to know what you like.
Lately, I have been using my tumblr much more often. I have always used it a good deal, but I have more of a grasp of how I would like to use my tumblr as opposed to facebook/twitter/wordpress/ and NiteshArora.com. Tumblr is the social blogger's platform. It's not the best for original content, but it's great for reblogging and adding commentary. It's easier to create a back & forth on tumblr versus, let's say, wordpress. And, tumblr is quick and easy. It allows you to pick your type of entry, add, and send.
There are three things I tend to do with my tumblr: reblog with commentary, share links I see in other venues with or without commentary, and queue posts.
I don't see an option to queue posts with squarespace. I would not want squarespace to become the new home of reblogging and it's easier to keep that on tumblr. I don't see any reason, though, that I can't start sharing more original content on here as opposed to tumblr. I could always share a post from here there so as to get a larger pool of people reading the post. However, it's much easier for my original content to get drowned out on tumblr than it is here.

Since I will be sharing more original content here I'd like to continue to do one thing that I loved on tumblr. Share posts to twitter.
Like many other sites, squarespace does not have an option to automatically post to twitter. I guess I was lucky with tumblr.
Squarespace recommends using http://twitterfeed.com/. I've signed up for an account and that's the method that I will be using to share links from here to twitter (and the world!). I believe Twitterfeed has received postitive press, let's see how this works out.

November Fifth is 'National Bank Transfer Day.'
Have you or friends switched?
I don't think I can switch to a credit union but I'm considering switching from Bank of America. Maybe Chase? I would need a bank with locations in Madrid. Still, I have no major reason to switch from BofA so far.

This is my new website, powered by SquareSpace.
It has been a long time in the making, thanks procrastination. Or shall I blame perfectionism?
My previous website had been a .me domain powered by tumblr. I've decided to leave my tumblr a tumblog for right now so my main site can be more than just a blog.
I was caught between SquareSquare & Wordpress when it came down to choosing a site-builder. Yes, I could've chosen to buy external hosting & use an app to build my site (Rapidweaver looked pretty nice).
For now, I've chosen SquareSpace. Hopefully, I love it. I do wish there were more possibilities as far as templates go but, content wise, it seems strong.
