Integrating comments using Disqus is dead easy and works great and yes you can also add Google Analytics too. I think the Tumblr team is onto a good thing but of course it's early days yet and it remains to be seen whether they can keep the same elegant approach while adding features.

You can also put Google Analytics code into your template if you want stats. Regardless, you are right. This stuff is a LOT easier in Wordpress at this point. Thanks for your comment. Todd Judy,

Regardless, you are right. This stuff is a LOT easier in Wordpress at this point.

Thanks for your comment.

I liked it but also wanted to have comments so I switched to wordpress.com. Another cool thing about wordpress is that you can see stats on visitors. I feel more in touch with my readers over at wordpress. Hi, I had a tumblelog for my first try at blogging. I liked it but also wanted to have comments so I switched to wordpress.com.

Its just easier than regular blogging. Brian - that is a cool site you have there. Jason – I really think tumblelogs for people that are intimidated by having to stair and write something.

The RSS availble from that Tumblelog becomes a master feed for several disparate systems. Sort of like Yahoo Pipes without the er, uhm.. pipes! :) Thanks for your blog, which is a daily must-read.

Sure it has a few more bells and whistles, but it's not about having the long, drawn out posts and the like. It's handy, but after playing with it a bit I still like blogging better.
