What brought you to Tumblr?

I’m always curious how people found Tumblr. I can’t really even remember how I ended up here but I’m glad I did. All I remember was it was around midnight on a Wednesday or Thursday last April when I said to myself, “Forget Wordpress, I’ll give this Tumblr platform a try.” Over a year later and I’m still as happy as ever.
