Recent experiences with Tumblr have led me to believe that the primary purpose of a blogging platform should be to encourage users to blog. World-shaking, right? A product should encourage users to come back.
To that end, I've given up on using Drupal for my personal blog. Personal blogging is not where Drupal shines, and it's a bitch to switch to PHP mode anytime I need something customized.
I resolved to migrate to Tumblr, only to find out that I couldn't preserve old URLs. Ouch. And, honestly, I knew that there'd be some little thing like that that I'd use as an excuse to keep running my own blog. If it wasn't custom URLs, it'd be SSL, or the inability to add titles to picture posts (err!).
So I wrote another Django blog. And so far, I'm pretty happy. There are posts and tags, and some basic stuff I need like scheduling posts. Most importantly, though, I want to blog again.
