I'm out
Tumblr was very easy to use but I had two issues that my readers kept bringing up:

The other side of the fence
Cory Bourdeaud’hui called today. We both started in the editorial department of Farm Business Communications at around the same time — he at Grainews and me at Country Guide.
Funny, not long before I left Country Guide to jump back over the fence into PR he moved into the advertising deparment at Grainews.
He’s a good guy trying to balance a career with a busy family life. That...
