    Looking for any suggestions or direction for turning my traditional blog into a Tumblr-like (micro) blog format. From the research I’ve done, it seems using Post Formats could be the best way to move forward. I realize there are SEO drawbacks to micro-posts, but apparently it can set it up so any short posts (videos, memes, links, quotes, etc…) could be preset as noindex posts, so only the longer posts (300+ words) are indexed. What do you think? Is using Post Formats the best way to move forward? Any other direction or suggestions much appreciated.

    Definitely use post formats, and you’ll want to use a good theme which shows differences in post formats, sometimes via an icon, color, or a completely different design for each.

    Don’t be too worried about noindexing small posts, it’s really not that necessary, and there are no SEO drawbacks. You might as well let people find all of your content. 😉
