The prototypical “cerebral Disney blog” is FoxFurr’s Passport2Dreams, which Cory has referred readers to quite a few times. She’s a former cast member who writes amazing in-depth essays about the development of various rides, movies, cartoons, and shows. (EDIT: nemomen beat me to it!)

I found Passport2Dreams via Cory, and also Long Forgotten Haunted Mansion, both of which are fascinating.

I get the feeling like the sort of writing/content I produce isn’t a great fit for the vision (this is not a bad thing, just the way things are). It’s not old-school BB or tech/politics/geek culture/interesting animals/etc., but its own not-all-that-portable weird thing.

Still waiting for that book.
The plural pronoun you are looking for is “us.”

Okay, so let me get this straight:
- We can have a tumblr blog hosted by well tumbler. $ = free
- We can have a real domain name that for our tumbler blog. $ = $11
- In 6 months we can figure out if we’re having enough fun, still have enough ideas, discovered the answer to life the universe and everything, have attracted an audience, figured out what our mission statement is, etc.
Is that about it?

Acceptable second-person plurals (depending on the dialect):
Y’all
Yunz/Yunz/You-uns
Youse/Yous
Ye
I don’t know why you hate English. The line of the red pencil’s lead is a lead, which led those who read to read, but buried the lede.

One of the requirements listed initially was the ability to use Discourse as a commenting platform which I don’t think is possible on Tumblr. Correct me if I’m wrong?

IIRC, Tumblr doesn’t let you use your own domain. It’s also mainly good for copypasta and link-posting rather than thought-out content in terms of its format.
The problems with free services are numerous, ranging from poorer search engine rankings to bandwidth caps.

Hi @ratman, @ActionAbe also answered. Too bad, sometimes things that sound too good to be true, are just that.

Very well. I’d much rather have something that works than something that’s free and worth every penny.

Yes.
That may be a good longterm goal and it may not be un-doable on Tumblr (you’d have to ask someone with way more experience than I have regarding Discourse) but I think at this early stage, what @jannamark said here is really something worth considering:
In 6 months we can figure out if we’re having enough fun, still have enough ideas, discovered the answer to life the universe and everything, have attracted an audience, figured out what our mission statement is, etc.
Which is a heck of a lot easier if you focus on content and strategy rather than on platform.
I have friends who have had domains on Tumblr.
Bandwidth isn’t capped and while it’s mostly used for copy pasta and memes, it doesn’t have to be. Wish I’d been keeping track but there are a number of blogs that get linked by BB which are actually hosted on Tumblr.
That said—
—this venture isn’t really for me. How y’all manage it is up to you.

This sounds interesting again. I’m going to see a site about a login.
