    Introducing: Submissions

    There’s an interesting genre of blog that is more about the community than the author.

    At some point you’ve probably seen Eat Sleep Draw, This is why you’re fat, or Cute Overload.

    The author starts posting about a topic they care about, the readers start contributing, and before you know it, the author has become a curator.

    Tumblr has always been uniquely suited for this type of blog.  In fact, 6 of them have gone from Tumblr blog to book deal in the last year.

    So today we’re very excited to release Submissions, a feature to streamline community-driven blogs.  You can enable it from your blog’s Customize screen to let your readers submit posts via web.

    Introducing: Photosets

    If a picture is worth a thousand words, photosets are the future of books.  Enjoy!

    New theme tags are available in the Theme Docs for customization.

  6. staff: Inspired by Wordpress’ seriously clever use of Loren Brichter’s new Tweetie options, we’re launching our own Tweetie and Twitterrific compatible API. This Twitter-like API should make it easy for a lot of existing Twitter clients to start supporting Tumblr. The really cool thing - because our following models follow a lot of the same principles, we’ve been able to take advantage of a ton of native features: Retweeting = Reblogging Replying = Reblogging w/ commentary Favoriting = Liking “@david” = ”http://david.tumblr.com/” Conversations = Reblogs To try out Tumblr in Tweetie 2, tap “Accounts” → “+” → enter your username and password → tap the gear icon → enter “http://tumblr.com/” in both fields. For Twitterrific, tap ”Sources” → “Edit” → “Add a New Account” → enter your username and password → tap ”Advanced” → set “Base URL” to “http://tumblr.com/” and disable “SSL”.
