Feature Request:

Tumblr Overlords I beseach thee:

Please add a check box in each post in my dashboard. Once checked, I can return to the front page of my dashboard and read or reblog posts that I have selected.

A button that turns posts off in dashboard might have the same effect, but if you were following many it might be too laborative. I would however, like to be able to turn a post off if I find it offensive.

So yes, give us both. I thank thee, and please find the chicken blood Yoohoo Appletini I have sprinkled around my print out of David Karp a worthy aroma.

It’s like a gang war between the people who shout, the people who hear, the people who talk and the people who listen.

yvynyl:superamit:I’m interested in how people are using Tumblr



how many people they follow
how many people follow them
why they use it

So I put together a quick unofficial survey.
If you’re interested, too, please take it. You can be anonymous and most fields are optional.
All the data will be public in a week or so.

Congratulations Szymon! You post such awesome photos. I have to keep myself from using Tumblr to reblog your post exclusively. A testament to “content” being “king”.

Tag Clouds

by setuplikeadeckofcards June 21, 2008

I still haven’t finished retro-tagging my posts and I’m still forgetting to tag new posts a lot of the time, but I’m getting better.

I wasn’t sure to begin with if I should use ‘freeform’ tags, so that each post has quite a few specific tags (e.g. people’s names, band names, song names, etc), or if I should use tags like a category marker (e.g. music, film, friends, etc.), but i went with the specific tags.

I’m starting to regret that now.  I just tried to add Heather Rivers’ tag cloud to my site, but there seems to be too many tags in the cloud for it to work.  I’m not sure if it’s because the tag cloud extends further down than the bottom of the posts, but when I add the code my site is just blank.

As a test, I’ve tried deleting most of the code, leaving only a few tags in the cloud and it works fine, so it must be something to do with the number of tags in the cloud, or just the size of the cloud itself.

Annoying.

I might start tagging again, but just using the tags more as category markers instead.

Testing: Dashboard Notifications
We’re trying out a new feature and are really curious to hear what you think.
Notifications appear on your Dashboard for things like new followers and reblogs.  It still has some glaring holes, but we’ve been loving this feature for discovering new people on Tumblr.
You can enable Notifications on your Preferences page.

This is great. Checking the follow button for new followers all the times drinks my blood. Not to mention I rarely check to see if my posts were reblogged as it is too labor intensive. Good job Tumblr!

To exercise dormant programming skills, I slapped up a script that lets you view your historical posts en masse. Save the page(s) as “Web page, complete” (in IE, Firefox) for a crude, readable backup of your text, images, and - for other media - embed codes.

A welcomed side-effect is the ability to filter/view other individual people’s posts by type, which isn’t available in the Dashboard (yet?). It’s a work in progress, and I don’t recommend high-volume tumble-loggers bring up a 1500+ post archive in one page, but other than that - enjoy.

This has done wonders for my business. I highly recommend giving it a shot, particularly if you want to injure your computer by asking it to filter all Rambone pictures. Otherwise, it’s safe and very useful.

What is his business?
