Wow, thanks to @NathanBowers (Hi Nathan!) for linking here in a tweet -- I thought tumblr was some sort of digg-like such & such (I'm too old to keep up with that nonsense) and see that my new knowledge is this post is already 17 months old -- woo-hoo!
Sigh.

Nice post, gotta poke around more, I like your style.

I've used TypePad for some time now but have used both WordPress and Blogger in the past. Both seemed somewhat difficult to manage and Blogger is definitely crude but that was a while ago before I switched to Six Apart stuff (Moveable Type specifically and, no, I don't work for them) when I started blogging professionally. I haven't tried Tumblr yet--just ran across it actually--but I probably will. I think the line between professional and personal blogging these days is becoming fairly blurry though and expect to see plenty of crossover as in the case of Aziz Ansari's Tumblr blog which I think you'd pretty much have to call a mix of the two.

Personally I do not think they are that bad. Find the files you are looking for at myrapida.com the most comprehensive source for free-to-try files downloads on the Web

How well do the blogs perform in SEO terms, do they rank well? I don't think some sites are worth using as they perform so badly.

Hrm. Tumblr also intrigues me, but they're not making easy for us existing bloggers, are they? Any success trying the import to blogger, then import to Tumblr approach? I might give it a shot.

Jonathan - VERY cool. And a hosted solution too! What about a Wordpress plugin? :)

Every day I get search queries to this post looking to move to tumblr, so your plugin would get some traction!

I haven't gotten to the comments, but I made a tool to import Blogger posts to Tumblr http://terrymhung.com/jtran/tumblr/import-blogg...

I hope this helps.

Better still, use a Tumblr-like theme on this blog. Check out Tumblejack or for a live demo, visit my urban planning blog.

Eileen - LOL. Only because I haven't "spoken" to you. I do think you should blog - you have such fabulous stories to tell :)

Amit - Yes, I thought of that and Fred Wilson suggested that as well. Seems like the best alternative right now. Another idea is to post to the tumblr blog, but also have the post show up on the main blog, pulling it in. Fiddling around with things. Planning on moving the comment system to Disqus to help with that. Thanks for your thoughts!!

Another thought - Leave your blog at shripriya.com/blog untouched and use Tumblr with a new sub-domain like blog.shripriya.com.

Since you are using Feedburner to syndicate feeds, you can change them to point to the new Tumblr feeds instead of WP feeds.

Another advantage - you won't take a hit on existing search traffic and there won't be any drop in RSS subscribers.

Hi Amit - thanks for the link! But "Install the script on a server that supports PHP 5"? Er... Hmm... will try, but that may be beyond me. :)
