tumblr is slow and erratic? first I've heard that one. secondly your 'distrust' of PHP makes no sense. Trust me, I hate php and would _never_ program in it myself, but that doesn't make wordpress any less of a good product. Hell facebook is based on php :P. third- there's always room for a new service if it genuinely solves a problem and is executed well, so go for it ;)

Well TheOatmeal designed "Tumbeasts" for the Tumblr error pages, so I guess I am not the only one who experienced problems. I might reevaluate, but when I tried it last time (a couple of months ago) there were too many issues to make it usable for non-techies in my opinion. Maybe they rely on Flash? I have a flash blocker... PHP - sure, it is just that I can not administrate it myself, and Wordpress.com has weird pricing. To fix hosting multiple blogs on debian, I would have to dig into the PHP code, which I would like to avoid. Maybe these are not serious issues for the mainstream population, but I'll consider it :-/
