Push the tempo?
I'm much more likely to post to Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook than here. The environments are pleasantly slack: I don't feel like I have to write masses of highly insightful prose.
Today, I noticed another key factor: their tools are optimised for speed of posting. You can tweet or tumble as fast as you can send an instant message. For whatever reason, I feel a lot more drag than that when trying to post in Wordpress.
I've installed TIQPWP to see if it helps. Already, I've noticed one thing I like: when I hit Enter, I get a new paragraph rather than a line break.
Result so far: first post in a billion years. Well, a month. Whatever.

My web host just rang me to ask me to upgrade WordPress. Some benefactor of humanity had used a hole in WordPress to turn his web server into a spam-bot, and he was going to get black-holed any minute. Rather than turn me off entirely, he rang me. How's that for customer service? I sincerely doubt I'd get that from, say, GoDaddy.
