I’ve been a fan of Tumblr for a while. I’ve had my own tumblr account to mess around with, and it’s been a nice halfway point between twitter which keeps you under 140 characters and a full blog which lets you post tons and tons of content. Just something great for shorter posts, pictures, quotes, etc.
I recently set up a custom theme on Tumblr, and love how far it’s come since I signed up for an account years ago. Domain mapping so you can use your own domain name, a juiced up interface for posts, easy and straightforward navigation, tie in to Twitter, Facebook, and Feedburner, and on and on!
It may be because there’s just less data and variables to deal with than a regular blog, but I was amazed by how simple and straightforward it was to set up a custom theme. All of the variables you need to set up your own custom HTML and CSS were there, free, right out of the box.
WordPress is still my CMS tool of choice, but there is absolutely no reason to rule out a free tumblr account if all you need is a simple, custom themed blog. And the best part is, it’s all free!
