“Don’t want the so-called Like Spam? Choose the right tags”
– I made a test in my other tumblr. Using less common tags will reduce (if not, eliminate), the “like spam”. I guess those people built bots that scans for content tagged like watch, iphone, etc…

Life, Karate, & Fun: May Be Leaving Tumblr Due To... →
Maybe leaving is a bit too harsh, but there are some more points about it.
In the meanwhile, I am just blocking and reporting
vengefulgiblets:
Just a heads up to anyone who’s following me here on Tumblr. I may be ditching my Tumblr account as a result of the massive, massive amount of “like” spam that I’m receiving here.
We have no tools to counter the problem, and I’ve been reading...

What is going on? (A stupid SEO Scheme?)
I have some weird tumblr accounts doing “like” to a lot of my post (not this tumblr, another one)
At the beginning I was happy, after a while I started to have some doubts.
Basically, all these accounts have weird names such as genyvynaga.tumblr.com or other strange names.
All these accounts use the same theme and have two sets of Google Adsense unit (nothing wrong on having...

I guess email is your best friend with the iPad...
Honestly, I have not installed any iPad apps related to tumblr yet. I tried the official iPhone Tumblr app, that looks quite fine. However, the dashboard interface works pretty much ok in Safari Mobile.
After playing for a while with the iPad and my style related tumblr, I came to this conclusion:
a) Many people use tumblr for uploading pictures (doh!)
b) You need a damn good feed reader app...

A quick word about submitting your tumblr blog
I read all the messages that I receive. I promise! :)
However, I can’t publish them all. What do I publish? Wicked and amazing custom themes and not-mainstream content (see diskobonbon.tumblr.com)
I have a thing for musician and people making their own music too!

3 ways to monetize your Tumblr blog
There are three ways that you can monetize with Tumblr
Google Adsense. But please, keep one only ad unit in your template or you will end up pissing people off. Beside, the next Google update will not go easy on Adsense junkies.
Affiliate programs. Useful if you do lots of reviews of products. Don’t fake your tumblr as some kind of e-commerce. It won’t work. And also, stop review...

Submit your tumblr blog →
I know, I know… there is a flickr gallery already… but since Tumblr has grown so much, I thought it would make sense to let people show their tumblr blog directly here.
So, feel free to upload a picture of your tumblr blog! :) And do not forget the link! ;)

Use Dropbox as storage place for your Tumblr...
Some of you already understood that I am pretty much in love with Dropbox.
Dropbox is an excellent service for cloud storage or haveallyourfileswhereveryouare.
Dropbox also has a feature called Public Folder. Every item you’ll put in there will have its own unique URL.
That means: if you have a bunch of PDF, and you want people to download them from your tumblr post or tumblr blog, just...

Tumblr support in Marsedit
Surely, I am discovering this after everybody else.
However…
It happens that Mac are great machines, and it happens that great people make great software for the great computer, and it happens that an already great piece of software called Marsedit decided to support a great platform called Tumblr.
Yes… you can post straight from your Mac to Tumblr! Grab the Marsedit trial...
Disabling Diggbar
matthewb:
Guillermo Esteves posted a JavaScript fix to disable use of the Diggbar on Tumblr sites. Below is a slightly modified version that uses location.replace() to prevent the Diggbar URL from appearing in your browser history:
<script type="text/javascript">
if ((top !== self) && (document.referrer.match(

End of the transmission (from here)
Hi all,
just a short note: this is the my latest post here! I have my hands full on work, life, personal projects and everything… good news: Tumblr staff made an excellent job by listening to the people and to put all the best features in it.
I wonder if this blog, and the ning group, helped them….
However, this is not the end… with the beginning of 2009 I decided to...

Feedburner for Tumblr
I am actually quite ashamed that I discovered Feedburner just this summer… but I am quite happy that Tumblr is one of the few hosted blog/microblog platforms to allow to use it.
What is Feedburner?
FeedBurner is the leading provider of media distribution and audience engagement services for blogs and RSS feeds. Our Web-based tools help bloggers, podcasters and commercial publishers...

So,
it is obvious that lately I have been very busy… I am so in late on every news from Tumblr, as well as replying to comments.
I started a new job, and I am keep working on a web project on spare time. It is not tumblr related, it’s not another community or social network and it is probably pointless. But sometimes I just like to try without too many plans.
