Hello Brian. Thanks for sharing your adventure in starting to build you own tumbling CMS. I prefer to use the solutions readily available at the moment. Good luck with it!

It’s funny I came across your post, because I have the same feelings as you do about tumblelogs…they are simple which is great but they lack basic features like commenting. That’s why I have decided to throw my OSS hat into the ring and design a dead simple self-hosted tumblelog system.

The first post regarding it can be found over here: http://projects.brianbommarito.net/blog/2007/10/12/self-hosted-tumblelog/

And if you want to give it a try, let me know and I will give you advance notice of the versions as they hit.

You’re right in that it doesn’t support adding tags of any form (native or UTW). However that doesn’t really come into the picture for me because I don’t tag my posts. I find tagging too tedious and I tend to tag almost every damn word in my post! Also, I don’t include archives or categories on my tumblelog so tags aren’t of much use for users. Those are more blog features, I prefer to keep the tumblelog as simplistic as possible.

Weisheng – The WordPress Dash Widget doesn’t allow for the tagging available in WP 2.3 does it?

Yeah, I’m afraid I jumped the gun a little there, the plugin is broken in WP 2.3 at the moment. For Mac users the widget is great though, I post through it all the time now. Windows users will have to look out for a Vista sidebar or Yahoo widget.

Hello weisheng. I love your WordPress tumble-hybrid design. The site looks great. I agree with you thoughts on wanting to stick with WordPress. There are just so many features already built-in and the ability to add even more with plugins that it is hard to give WordPress up for a hosted service. However, I think if davidville makes some of the updates to Tumblr that users are asking for it will be a great publishing platform too. I have tried the Quick Post plugin on two different sites and it never worked correctly. Every time I used it, the post was duplicated. So, I would have to always go into the admin and delete one of the posts. I also read that some users are having issues with it working with WP 2.3. I just use the regular built in "Press it" link from the WP admin. I will take a look at the widget you mentioned though.
