This post will be my last here on Tumblr. I’ve finally built a new site using ExpressionEngine and am moving my writing there.
Details
If you’re a reader of the space, thank you! I hope you will continue to read my writing. You can subscribe to the new feed, or you can continue to follow here. All posts from the EE site will be posted as a link here.
Reasons
Over the past couple of years of using Tumblr, I’ve been a staunch defendant of the service. I still am. My reasons for this move are not downtime … not exactly anyways. I’m confident that the Tumblr team will put the reliability issues behind them, just as Twitter did.
My reason for moving on stems from two desires: one is to get some experience with Expression Engine. The second is to start writing more and to have more control over the entire experience. If there is one complaint I have about Tumblr it’s the archiving and search functionality. Finding older posts is a real pain.
Still, Tumblr is a spectacular service and makes posting content a breeze. It certainly met my needs for a time and is a great option. I’d recommend it to many folks.
But for this guy, it’s time for a change.

One thing I’ve learned from the web over the years: a good tutorial has depth and details. With so much fluff these days, an explanatory, thorough how-to is refreshing. This description of how to make the most out of Expression Engine from the folks at HiFi is just that.
