A few months I posted to this blog, explaining that I was dropping WordPress and switching to Tumblr. I was interested in their service and saw it as a neat new way to keep up a blog.
Tumblr has some great features that make it easy to publish short posts, pictures, and videos. It seems like a great platform, but it just wasn’t for me. I found the platform limiting, and was not a fan of the Tumblr Dashboard or the “following” of blogs on Tumblr. Obviously there is a lot you can do with Tumblr, and I am sure it is very powerful if you take the time to learn it, but I found myself longing to be back on WordPress.
I had grown tired of this blog, and the inflexibility of the theme I had been using. Last week I decided to revive willw.net. What brought me back was the news of WordPress 3.0 arriving, and the new default theme that comes with it. I had been recently working on custom WordPress themes for some projects that I had going on, and saw this as a great opportunity to refresh my own blog. The new default theme is incredibly easy to customize, and with some great comments in the code to help you. I have done some significant edits to the theme, all from my iPad (more on that soon).
My experiment with Tumblr is over, so forget I ever dropped willw.net, and stay tuned for some more blog posts!
