Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in my personal blogging life. I am taking the journey from a self-hosted blog to a third-party application hosted elsewhere. There are several reason but primarily it comes down to features, ease-of-use, and performance. Wordpress has become a powerful application and framework for blogging but that often leads to it’s own problems usually related to performance. I chose Tumblr simply because it’s simple and sexy interface and ease-of-use. Although, it does have some really cool features which make it easy to share different types of media such as Youtube videos.
