I thought about Github because it would offer one advantage to 
tumblr: it could be owned by the dlang Github account. But, while 
Github pages can be a blogging platform, tumblr is specifically 
designed to be a blogging platform, and that means several nice 
features that we get for with no extra work from anyone in the 
community. In addition to the examples I listed in my original 
post, one other great feature I discovered today is that tumblr 
provides a guest post feature where any tumblr user can submit a 
post to be reviewed, and with a click of a button, it can be 
posted on the blog with attribution.

Also, I can just include a simple JS library for the same 
auto-highlighting functionality.

Disqus can be added quite easily to either, but I don't think 
that's something we actually want to do. IMO let's keep 
discussion on here, HN, and reddit, where there are mechanisms in 
place for getting rid of spam.
