I ditched creating new content on my self-hosted WordPress site in favor of (custom domain) Posterous last summer, and I have been very pleased with the move. The continuum of hassles with the WordPress.org platform, like terrible photo and file handling, memory problems, lousy ill-maintained plugins, and themes so awful I decided to make my own after a while, just became more than I wanted to deal with–unless I’m getting paid. Difficulties in using WP are often caused, in my experience, by inexperienced users trying to build their site on top of some utterly worthless “premium” theme. It is a great injustice to these users that they are induced to try to use that garbage (and I’m talking about the overwhelming preponderance of the pay themes out there) instead of doing what WordPress makes so easy–creating an original design using HTML and CSS–a process both easier and more edifying than trying to work some shoddy framework into respectability. But despite the groupthink that often breaks out among the core developers, WordPress has gotten easier to use over the last few years, not harder–I just think maybe people in general are getting dumber. And that’s where Tumblr comes in.
