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….

Finding my place as a travel writer / blogger on teh internetz

Walking on railroad

Who am I? What’s my purpose here? And where did this rash on my butt come from? *scratches* These were questions that have been weighing on my mind lately, especially when I had to abandon an assignment I received after making a pitch to a popular travel site.

Two weeks of troubleshooting this,…
