So I currently use tumblr for my blog www.theelegantscoundrel.tumblr.com, but I recently learned that the new update to WP fixes almost every single problem I ever had with the plattform. So my question is, based on personal experience, which do you feel is best? 2009-05-28T10:23:52-04:00 10 2009-05-28T02:01:13-04:00 true 0 33361 false false 2329 1822 1 2009-11-21T06:38:43-05:00 323 WP 110% 33361 Post 2009-05-28T02:23:44-04:00 950141 1107 2009-05-28T02:23:44-04:00 It comes down to comments vs no-comments, and your site as a url or yourname.tumblr.com We use wordpress for our site blog because it lets people comment, and keeps it on our url. But I use tumblr for my personal blog because its much faster to post things to. 33361 Post 2009-05-28T02:26:04-04:00 950151 1140 2009-05-28T02:26:04-04:00 i love wordpress! it's the only blogging service i've ever tried. once i seamlessly integrated the blog into my website, there was no real reason to try any others... 33361 Post 2009-05-28T02:30:42-04:00 950181 10434 2009-05-28T02:30:42-04:00 tumblr all the way...i just canned WP i hate how they block decent stats 33361 Post 2009-05-28T02:36:50-04:00 950231 11745 2009-05-28T02:36:50-04:00 <blockquote><cite>a killer wombat said:</cite> It comes down to comments vs no-comments, and your site as a url or yourname.tumblr.com We use wordpress for our site blog because it lets people comment, and keeps it on our url.

Works perfectly. I haven't used wordpress but I think they have more options in terms of addons and stuff. 33361 Post 2009-05-28T02:41:18-04:00 950261 1259 2009-05-28T02:41:18-04:00 <blockquote><cite>a killer wombat said:</cite> It comes down to comments vs no-comments, and your site as a url or yourname.tumblr.com We use wordpress for our site blog because it lets people comment, and keeps it on our url.

And Tumblr does allow for custom URL forwarding, the only reason we dont have ours set up is because we were in the middle of deciding if it would be best to redesign and make a new site or make a blog and link to a store through there. Its looking like we are going to go with the latter, so now it comes down to how easy it would be to integrate our old posts over to WP if we did decide to switch. 33361 Post 2009-05-28T02:42:00-04:00 950281 1822 2009-05-28T02:42:00-04:00 <blockquote><cite>Quest said:</cite> <blockquote><cite>a killer wombat said:</cite> It comes down to comments vs no-comments, and your site as a url or yourname.tumblr.com We use wordpress for our site blog because it lets people comment, and keeps it on our url.

I tweaked it to beome like a site/blog. I use disqus for the comment platform and works great. You should look into it. 33361 Post 2009-05-28T02:50:00-04:00 950351 1259 2009-05-28T02:50:00-04:00 wordpress all the way. Especially if you have web experience, you can create an entire theme, build a full site, and it's all then on an extremely robust CMS. It has the most documentation, widgets, addons, and a lot more. And if your issue is pulling content over, that's a pretty simple solution, wordpress has a great integration feature that allows you to pull or place content to and from about anywhere. Honestly, I've switched to almost exclusively using wordpress within my business for both personal and client work and it has been a very beneficial decision. The change may be a little tough, but in the end I think you'll find wordpress to be a world of positive difference for you. Oh and go wordpress.org not .com so you can really take advantage of all it has to offer. 33361 Post 2009-05-28T03:52:26-04:00 950671 12048 2009-05-28T03:54:32-04:00 <blockquote><cite>BlueBeanie said:</cite> wordpress all the way.

Take my blog for example: http://stabb.tumblr.com/ Got comments installed and a handy dandy little share icon. 33361 Post 2009-05-28T10:23:52-04:00 953021 2329 2009-05-28T10:23:52-04:00
