Wow Tumblr better than WordPress. No way!

Heres why:

1. you need 3rd party applications for someone to comment on your blog – tumblr

2. If you have the paid version of wordpress plugins are unlimited with social integration and sharing

3. Widgets are systematic and organized

4. Can create a website feel out of wordpress – good to demonstrate skills, projects, etc, especially if you are a job seeker

5. lots of themes to choose from with a lot of customization

6. Tumblr requires knowledge of CSS and website development, while wordpress makes it easer.

7. Adding widgets and third party apps is a drag in tumblr

I am currently new to blogging and signed up at tumblr which I like. The initial post for this thread is from last yr, so I don”t know if it has been updated to show that tumblr does allow others to post content. Please check it out to clarify as I am not sure.

WordPress is the best blogging platform ever. It is much better than Typepad and blogspot..”-

Really with both your own hosted wordpress and tumbler, you can get a free subdomain if you use free hosting, also with both you have to pay yearly for a domain if you want one. Either way, the situation with both for domains is pretty much the same. I go with wordpress because of the extent to which you can customize it. I make my own themes and plugins, and its just amazing what you can do with wordpress.

Ali F: I don’t know; but I host my domain at DreamHost, where it is very easy to install and operate my own instance of the WordPress software. No fees beyond what I already pay for hosting there (which is not much). I bet you can find similar arrangements at other hosting companies.

And thanks to Connor.

Thanks for your post! I am just now starting the process of getting a blog going. Unfortunately, I’m not skilled in the these areas, so I am doing a lot of reading to see what I can gleam from experts such as yourself. Question – I’ve read that with WordPress, you have to pay a fee if you want to use your own domain name? Could you share what ballpark this is in? Thanks so much!
