Why can’t WordPress be more like Tumblr? Update: Why can’t Tumblr be more like WordPress?

There were times when I was ready to say BLEEP this BLEEPING BLEEP, delete everything I’ve ever written on a WordPress blog going back to 2005 and flee straight to Tumblr, arms flailing all the way. It’s the simplicity really, the idea that I could post something profound with as few road blocks as possible….

Zippykid Hosting Review: The suckiest sucks of a sucking host that ever sucked a sucking suck
