The move to Tumblr
I have decided to move the blog to tumblr for a few of reasons.
- I was sick of managing the comment spam on the previous WordPress blog
- I was sick of managing the software/security updates on the previous WordPress blog
- I wanted an easy way to post to the blog when I was out and about on an iOS device using Markdown
- I wanted to see how well Tumblr works for a blog with it’s own domain, etc
- I wanted to learn how to theme Tumblr
So far it seems to be going OK. Some things are certainly easier (less maintenance, easier posting) but some things are more tedious (static “landing pages” for the apps, etc).
I will be updating the theme a bit at a time. Cleaning up the posts so the images are no longer coming from the previous WordPress blog, extending the theme to include comments/discussion/likes/etc and adding more social media integration (apart from just Twitter).
Feel free to shoot me an email if you think this is a good/stupid/pointless idea. ;)
