Personality #1: Of course, they have done all the hard work and have created a fault tolerant attractive blogging community which is easy to use.

Personality #2: But you already have a perfectly good wordpress.org blog @ http://distractable.net/ which you can customize to your hearts content - why would you want to move that to tumblr?

P1: Well, for one doing all the maintainence on that blog takes valuable time that I should be spending cutting code.

P2: That's a fair point, but aren't you really happy with that design? Are you just going to throw it away.

P1: You're right - I am happy with that design. It's just kind of worked out. Maybe I could use that design on http://conceptualadvantage.com/ instead of the one I posted there.

P2: You could, but you may well regret doing this later. I'm sure there will be something cool you could have done on wordpress that you won't be able to do on tumblr and you'll be kicking yourself.

P1: That might be the case, yes.

P2: And what are you going to do with the posts on distractable.net? Those posts have been moved around more times than an army family. Can you even import them across to tumblr?

P1: Hmmm... another good point. I definitely need to think about this some more and do some research.

P2: Yes, you do - any make sure you investigate any pricing or ads that you might have to put up with on a tumblr blog.

P1: Yep - fair enough... will check that out.
