Why I dumped Wordpress
by Gavin Wye
Around about May this year I stopped writing my Wordpress blog and started using Posterous.
Wordpress is a very nice blog but has far to many features for me I had been running my blog with it for a couple of years but it hadn't really taken off. I just spent to much time worrying about what it looked like and trying to get to the bottom of all those design problems and not writing.
Then along came Posterous it's simple just post from it you can't change the theme (you couldn't at the time they have since added theming) it's easy to setup and just works. It's elegant not over complicated. I would have probably written this about Wordpress a couple of years ago.
I just hope they don't start adding features in a bid to compete. It will be interesting to watch how Posterous develops over the next year and the amount of features that get added.
