Even though I wasn't really a fan, Wordpress was really the only viable option. I can get it up and running in no time. Has pretty good themes / templates for free. And being able to migrate away from tumblr was a requirement then, I mean like moving all of the contents, use the same permalink, and just point the subdomain to this server instead of tumblr's. It has to do all of those, or none of it and keep the tumblr as the archive. After seeing Bludit, I opted for the latter. No regret so far. Much restrictions, such fun.
Also, I've set the RSS to tweet on IFTTT so you can "subscribe" to this blog by following me on twitter.
