I've switched from wordpress to posterous to tumblr. I like Tumblr's lack of branded drop down button that Posterous has even on self hosted, custom themes. Photographer Terry's Diary is a minimal Tumblr powered blog thats pretty interesting - http://www.terrysdiary.com (mildly NSFW)

Wait - I see two buttons on all Tumblr sites: one that says "+ Follow" and one that says "Join Tumblr". Is this something that I'm in a bucket test on or does it go away if you're logged or something?

The Tumblr blog owner can choose to show that or not

If you're a Tumblr user you'll see two buttons in the upper right-hand corner on every Tumblr blog - regardless of any change of settings.

This isn't meant for advertising though (these are existing users after all). Those two buttons allow you to:

  a) Follow that Tumblr (like RSS)
  b) Go to your Tumblr Dashboard
