Tumblr will move all of its blogs to WordPress — and you might not even notice

Tumblr is moving all of its blogs to WordPress. Automattic, the parent company of Tumblr and WordPress, says the move will make it easier to ship features across both platforms.

Wow. #Automattic to move half a billion #Tumblr blogs to #WordPressCom

Shipping Tumblr and WordPress —

Making the web a better place

A "show and tell" of my favorite features of Friendica, which has fast become my favorite place in the Fediverse
