They say hindsight is 20/20, and often it's vindicating.
I haven't looked back since I switched from Tumblr to WordPress. Hosting my own blog is much more satisfying and I have much more control and flexibility over my content and its appearance. It's reassuring to see that others have found the same.
So I realized last week that Tumblr doesn't honor pingbacks/trackbacks; two friends linked to my blog and I got nothing. WordPress does them automatically, and I'd think Tumblr should (to fit the no-nonsense blogging platform that it is.) I guess it fits the somewhat solipsistic nature of Tumblogs, but it certainly doesn't help build an online reputation.
