Plus I have some fairly specialized needs that wordpress can handle for me - super-caching (in case I ever get Dugg or Slashdotted), the ability to execute php right on pages and posts, a customized contact form so the bastard spammers don't flood my inbox with spam-I-am, a site-wide search-and-replace function (via a plugin that scares me shitless every time I fire it up), and everyday it emails me a back-up of my database (you never know what can happen, especially after hearing about that LiveJournal fiasco). Plus, I've dug around in the guts of the theme so much (believe it or not this is the default Kubrick theme!) I just know my layout's CSS inside and out. You're a tumblr hipster, and I'm a stodgy old wordpress fart.

You’re a tumblr hipster, and I’m a stodgy old wordpress fart.

I didn't mean to be bitchy. Tumblr's fun. We got a thing going on in there that the outside world doesn't really see I think. Sometimes I forget they may be looking anyway ;) oh sorry.

Us tumblr people think of themselves more as mac fans who like cupcakes, gratuitous pictures of themselves on wednesdays, garfield with no garfield, jakob and julia drama, and lots of other running themes this song doesn't quite hit, including David Karp and Marco and all the NYC hipster kids who post on it and make it what it is. its a nice song but it doesn’t quite capture the character of tumblr.
