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 or email.
Login limit increased
We’ve just increased the number of allowed simultaneous logins from 3 to 5.
This means that you can be logged into Tumblr on 5 different browsers without having to re-enter your email address and password. This is handy if you want to use a home computer, a work computer, a mobile phone, and a laptop — or if you use multiple web browsers on one computer.
As always, you can manually log out from any of the 5 locations without affecting the others. Changing your password will log you out from all other browsers.
Enjoy!
More URL niceness
- We’ve added an advanced option to give an individual post a custom URL.
If you don’t want Tumblr automatically adding a summary to your permalink URLs, you can now disable the option “Use descriptive URLs” on your Customize page.
(Disqus users: Please do not adjust this setting just yet.)
We’re also beginning to test an even nicer (!) URL format, inspired by the smart smart people at Vimeo. We’re hoping to drop the “/post/” label, and simply link to “http://www.davidslog.com/1029”. What do you think? You can check it out on Marco’s tumblelog.
