Why you’ll love Tumblr

Unlike blogs, tumblelogs aren’t designed like a newspaper column. They’re the easiest way to share everything you find, love, hate, or create — even if you’re not wordy.

What is a Tumblog? If blogs are journals, tumblelogs are scrapbooks. You can also look at tumblelogs as slightly more structured blogs.

Tumblr features the most refined and simple interface ever built. No complicated navigation. No code to learn. Share anything with just a couple clicks. Even advanced features like custom themes, custom CSS, custom domains, audio and video hosting, are standard.

Tumblr is feature packed. With full support for custom domains, custom HTML themes, markdown, audio uploads, video uploads, automatic scaling of embedded videos, instant message posting, the super-intelligent bookmarklet, a loaded API, and a lot more, all of the hard work is done for you.

Finally, you can express yourself online in a way that’s true to yourself without being limited to a “profile”. Share anything and customize everything.

Is Tumblr better/worse than Blogger, TypePad, Facebook, etc.?

Blogs are great, but they can be a lot of work & they’re really built to handle longer-form text posts. Tumblelogs, on the other hand, let you easily and quickly post and share anything you find or create.

How do feeds work?

You can import up to 5 feeds of choice into your tumblog. When a new feed is added to Tumblr, its most recent post will be imported, followed by any posts added from that point forward.

The time between updates can vary greatly depending on the service. Tumblr tries to crawl feeds once every hour, but they do respect each feed’s “Time To Live” (TTL) declaration which may affect the update interval.
