having admired @mahemoff ’s tumblr at http://mini.softwareas.com/ I decided I needed to improve my use of posterous. Mind you, I also need to blog more, tweet better, read more, learn my new job, requalify as a rope rescue technician, move professional community.

As an easy start, I decided to move my tumblog from the shaidorsai name to my name, and echo the “mini” subdomain that Michael , and others, have done. tumblr.com do provide some instructions http://www.tumblr.com/help/custom_domains
So, off to my registrar and set up a subdomain. Err, no. While 1&1 are my registrar, my DNS (and most of my hosting) is done via 5quidhost. So, setup a subdomain there, and point it to steveellwood.tumblr.com

No, not that easy. I can’t set the A record, so I have to request that via email. About an hour later, you can now benefit(?) from my pearls of wisdom at http://mini.steveellwood.com. Now, how do I get my wave to embed in my blog…. (wanders off muttering)
