It has the kind of content that&#8217;s very compatible with tumblr &amp; its audience. Also, blogspot doesn&#8217;t have the wonderful liberating constraints tumblr has.</p> <p>So we figured it would be great to move the site over to tumblr. It&#8217;s not a completely trivial task with a blogspot blog, but last Friday, a little script started running, and it imports couple of dozens of posts a day - by early September all more than 2000 beautiful pictures will be here. Since tumblr has a nice archive page, you can take a look at the first results now - check out the <a href="http://illustrativo.com/archive">illustrativo archive</a>!</p>http://blog.tjp.hu/post/150321742http://blog.tjp.hu/post/150321742Mon, 27 Jul 2009 20:49:00 +0100illustrativotumblrblogspotarc<p><a href="http://illustrativo.blogspot.com/">Illustrativo</a> is an illustration blog with almost 2000 entries - in this case, 2000 pictures featuring 2000 different artists.
