Wordpress or Tumblr?

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

So I have been using Wordpress for a long time and loved it, still love it. I just don’t really feel like writing good length entries anymore. I thought I’d just make a new post of something cool I found on the internet. For example a cool little app, website, or video. But after thinking about that there’s a great service out there that does just that, and that is Tumblr. For those that do not know of what it is, well it is a micro blogging platform free of charge. It basically allows you to make a quick post about a link, pic, video, or quote. And to me it is pretty awesome if you do not like sharing everything on the internet but still like sharing something.

Anyways I am thinking of switching to Tumblr for this domain mainly because I don’t write much anymore. But then again I just bought Custom Css and domain mapping, it isn’t much but still. And I really don’t want to bother the people at Wordpress.com for a refund, plus I really don’t want once, I guess it is like a donation to them for all the great work they have done, well that is if I decide to leave.

So if you come back here and it says powered by Tumblr, well then you know I switched. Who knows I may end up switching back.

New Host! (Update)

http://www.flickr.com/photos/22820625@N02/2193203367/Well I decided to switch hosts…again. This time I switched to non other than Wordpress.com to host it. One reason was because I really never used my old server to it’s fullest, and this server is way cheaper, 15 bucks a year for domain mapping and custom css. I may not be able to use plugins and have as much flexibility but that is ok with me, I just want to have my blog online at all times and not have to pay too much for that.

And for the domain, well it is not up yet, for some reason I added it to Wordpress and bought the points and then it didn’t add it, so now I have to check my paypal to make sure it went through then either contact Wordpress in the morning to see what’s up, or just redo the process if it did not go through. I’m hoping it will all get sorted out sometime tomorrow and I’ll have my domain mapped here.

Also since I moved hosts I lost photo hotlinks so bare with me while I upload my own photo’s to my new Flickr account and other pictures to other hosts.

**Update**

After checking my palpal it was not wordpress’s fault, it was mine. You see Wordpress plit the custom css and 10 credits and I got confused and was thinking it only cost $5 for css then it didn’t give me my domain mapping but I was wrong, so after figuring that out I ordered domain mapping and now I have it. :)
