From Movable Type to Tumblr to Wordpress
So I’ve given Tumblr a try and I like it, but what I don’t like AT ALL is the way Tumblr archives. It’s nearly impossible to search, tag, categorize, etc. And since the web is all about the long tail and searchability, I think I’m going to change over to Wordpress and keep on feeding it into Tumblr (just so I can stay connected with everyone here).
Mind you, I was on Movable Type previously, but Wordpress just has a more active developer community and has plugins and starter templates up the wazoo.
Luckily, Rick found this really cool Wordpress plugin that let’s you blog in easy Tumblr-style. That means I don’t have to fuss too much with the backend. Sweet, because that’s the Tumblr feature I like the most… that and the community.
So the changeover won’t happen for a while, I have to redesign the site, etc… but thought I’d let you know because I’m interested in hearing what your thoughts are on Tumblr’s archiving system.
