Tumblr vs Wordpress
Since school let-out at the beginning of June, I’ve been debating as a summer project: moving this blog from Tumblr to Wordpress. Years ago, when I started this blog, I chose Tumblr because it allowed me to use my domain name with the blog for free. Other solutions cost extra money to use a personal domain, and since I was already paying for the domain, I didn’t want to pay more… you know, being lowly school teacher
A student found this blog this past semester, and rather than remark on the contents of the blog at all, they just made a big deal about me having “a Tumblr.”
Using Wordpress wouldn’t change much from the current setup; I’d still be using the blog for the exact same things — it just wouldn’t be branded by/ identifiable as “a Tumblr.”
BUT, for what I use this for, I still just can’t justify paying more money to have a blog elsewhere, using my existing domain name, and so for the time being I’ll just stay here.
