Twelve Gauge Tumblr

Sun, 08 Jan 2012 15:21:16 -0500

This post switches the source of TG news on the website from the blogspot account to tumblr. Although I have no complaints about the blogger service, it’s lacking the social element that tumblr seems to be doing so well at.

Therefore, from this news post on, the source of news on the Twelve Gauge website will be from this tumblr. The subdomain http://blog.tgrex.com will be updated to reflect this change as well.
