From Automattics News Blog:
Since Automattic acquired Tumblr we’ve made it more efficient, grown its revenue, and worked to improve the platform. But there’s one part of the plan that we haven’t yet started, which is to run Tumblr on WordPress. I’m pleased to say we’re kicking off that project now!

We’re not talking about changing Tumblr. We’re not turning Tumblr into WordPress. That would defeat the purpose. We acquired Tumblr to benefit from its differences and strengths, not to water it down. We love Tumblr’s streamlined posting experience and its current product direction. We’re not changing that. We’re talking about running Tumblr’s backend on WordPress. You won’t even notice a difference from the outside.

Running Tumblr on WordPress will make it easier to share our work across platforms. We can build something once and bring it to both WordPress and Tumblr. We can run Tumblr on the rock-solid infrastructure behind WordPress.com. Tumblr will benefit from the collective effort that goes into the open source WordPress project. And WordPress will benefit from the tools and creativity we invest into Tumblr and contribute back to WordPress.

Ken Pierce Media Posts 700th Clip on TikTok

Leave a comment

Hello there my fine Friends of the Ken Pierce Media realm, as anticipated since the last time that this was done, its once again time to let you know that the Official TikTok for KPM has achieved another one of its plateaus and another “50” clips have gone online. Pressing “publish” on the 700th clip is rather cool since that is a good increment to hit. It’s a clip that also celebrates something that we love very much which is “The Hottest Band In The World” KISS. This particular one was a relatively cool find because it was one of those Walmart exclusives I think and I found it on eBay as a complete set. The folks at Figpin had made a “Love Gun” set of the band some years ago and then followed up with a “Double Platinum” edition. Believe it or not, “Double Platinum” was one of the first KISS records that I owned based on my vintage and while I don’t have a Walmart nearby my home, finding this set on eBay for an irresistible price made it a must have. I recorded this clip shortly after they arrived so here now is Clip #700 on The Official Ken Pierce Media TikTok.

Good afternoon my friends and supporters of the Ken Pierce Media High Command, I am hoping that the day has started out great for you. If you’re located within our own NYC sphere, its my hope that you are well-hydrated and in some kind of air conditioning since its been so hot out there for the past few days including today. So I’m here once more with an announcement and one that I really look forward to doing each and every year. Today is the day of the Toy Insider’s annual “Sweet Suite” event for 2024 and will be held at an event space known as the Glasshouse. That’s going to be another new one for me and makes me all the more excited about it.

Hello once more my fine Friends of the Ken Pierce Media realm, by now this kind of post is no longer a surprise and its time to let you know that the Official TikTok for KPM has achieved another one of its plateaus and another “50” clips have gone online. Yes, I have now pressed publish on the 650th clip and this one originates from the Spring edition of the Artexpo New York that I attended back in April. While it seems a long time ago already, I do so many long form and shorter videos at events like this that it takes some time to premiere every single one of them. I just love being able to share such awesome artists with our followers and as many already know, this particular event gets properly covered by the Piercing Ken side of our creative coin. So now its time to enjoy this next celebration post which is the art of Thomas J. Savino. Ladies and Gentlemen in the TikTok Universe, presenting the 650th TikTok from Ken Pierce Media.

Ken Pierce Media Celebrates Its Fourth Anniversary (2020-2024)

Greetings my fine friends out there in the readership audience. I’m here once more to take a pause from the usual course of business to celebrate a website birthday. Believe it or not, today marks the fourth anniversary of the Ken Pierce Media brand and while much of the past year has been a steady as they go operation, there have been some additional efforts that help keep this angle growing and becoming a larger and more important piece of the creative puzzle. Before I continue along, let me share something with the newer visitors to the site since they might not know about it only being created and launched back in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The lockdown and absence of pretty much all activity found me not only working in earnest on older site items for PiercingMetal and “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” but also looking to deliver some good content via another means. The initial goal was to generate some consultancy money by helping others with their own blogs and sites and the other side was to help grow the other two sites under my creative command. It began as a simple Blogspot, then subsumed our long-standing PiercingMetal Tumblr and finally became the WordPress site that you are now reading. Now you are all caught up and on we go. When I wrap this all up I’ll share a few of the topical articles about the whole thing for the interested. Let’s continue along shall we…
