Tumblr is a great blogging service. It’s easy to start, easy to post, and easy to maintain. The whole point is to post quickly and get lots of people to check out your stuff in an easy and fast way. I like it for what it is.

But, it is too simplistic. Ever since I started using Tumblr, the themes have been severely limited in terms of their options. With every theme I’ve ever used I had to manually edit the html/css file just to get it the way I want. It takes hours to get the theme how I want it to look like and a lot of the time I’m not satisfied. 

I feel Tumblr is a step above twitter and a step below a full fledged blog. 

Wordpress has been growing very fast. There are lots of amazing themes and layouts that I’ve been seeing the last couple of weeks and I’ve been wanting to try them out. HTML 5/CSS3 have worked their way into some of these themes and the results are amazing. 

I want to expand the blog and make it new looking, 2011 looking, and I feel tumblr is too limited to achieve this. 

And also I want to get a .com for the blog.
