Tumblr or WordPress?
Hosted blogging system like Wordpress.com, Blogger and Tumblr is a great solution for those who want an always-updated system and doesn’t want to get hassled by hosting problems. On the other hand, self-hosted system like Drupal, WordPress and Textpattern offers great flexibility to build your site in whatever way you like.
How about myself? On my personal site (WRDC), I use both. Previously I used only Drupal, ended up with lots of blocks, modules and third-party addons. Drupal is a great system, but it’s a bit too complex for a personal site like mine. Then I moved to Blogger and managed content from there while preserving a custom frontpage hosted on my server. I enjoyed the customizable layout of Blogger, and the ability to use a custom domain. Unfortunately, the custom domain setting wasn’t that easy for me. And it sometimes takes days to run properly.
Then I found Tumblr. Its gorgeously simple structure has impressed myself. When I tried to use it with my own domain, it’s easy as 1,2,3! It takes only a few minutes to run!
I’ll talk about this later. Gotta get back to work!
