Tumblr Tuesday

It’s only the second ever Tumblr Tuesday, but I hope we can all agree that our lives will never be the same after the past week. On a personal level, not only did I find some awesome new Tumblrs to follow thanks to all of your fantastic nominations, but I’ve also learned that my options for having bacon delivered to my apartment are rich and abundant. So, quite a big week all around.

You survived another Monday, but can you withstand the awesome power contained in yet another Tumblr Tuesday? I certainly hope so, because we have millions more Tumblr blogs to cover, and yours could be next.

Wait, it’s already been a week since we did this? Impossible! It feels like it was just yesterday that I partook in all my regular Tuesday traditions: Regretting all those cheap tacos from Taco Tuesday, undergoing a mixture of deep reflection and soreness from Trampoline Tuesday, and experiencing joy after sharing some of my favorite new Tumblrs from Tumblr Tuesday.

Tag tip for theme designers
staff:
If you’re using {TagsAsClasses} to apply special formatting to posts with certain tags, you might not want those particular tags showing up on your blog or on the Dashboard. Luckily, tags prefixed with an underscore, like “_promo”, will only appear in {TagsAsClasses} (with the underscore removed). Ta-da!

Did everybody have a nice weekend? Summer’s last hurrah? Now, now, don’t be too sad. Technically, Summer doesn’t end until September 22 at 5:18pm EDT. Hmm. I wonder if anything will spontaneously happen right at that moment. Will sunburns miraculously heal? Will sharks mysteriously stop being awesome? Will people suddenly realize that Bud Light Lime tastes horrible? So many questions....

Hey guys. I’m sick. I don’t mean “crazy, cool, insane.” I mean I’m ailing. Some of the people at work suggested I ride the subway more often to help build up my immune system, so if you see a cranky dude in a bathrobe and bunny slippers on the 6 train eating chicken soup today, that’d be me. But no matter. The important thing is that we’ll be here for Tumblr Tuesday, every Tuesday until...

Does anyone else here dream in Tumblr-speak? Last night, I dreamt that everything in the universe had Tumblarity. Monday had a miniscule score compared to Friday. Bacon edged out yogurt. Clowns lost out to algebra — which may surprise you — but I happen to have an irrational fear of clowns. Hey, it was my dream. You want clowns to win at everything? Have your own scary-ass dream.

Listen Tumblr, I’m going to let you finish, but this Tumblr Tuesday is the best Tumblr Tuesday of the year…
Wow, that was a week too late. I want to apologize on behalf of everyone at Tumblr for my lapse in judgement there. Here are five awesome Tumblr blogs to clear your palette.

Welcome to the 10th Tumblr Tuesday! Every week, I’ll be here to call your attention to some of the best Tumblr blogs we’ve come across lately. You’re making things really easy for me with all the amazing ideas and awesome content that you guys are… What’s that you say? Oh noes!

Updating Tumblr's Terms of Service
staff:
We launched Tumblr with a boilerplate Terms of Service that we never felt truly captured our company’s philosophy. We’re determined to be the best place for everyone in the world to share the things they love and create. In keeping up with that motto, we felt like it was time for a little update and clarification in our Terms of Service. Two key points:
You own and control what you...

Hey gang! How’s it going? Man, you guys wouldn’t believe some of the amazing things we’re working on over here at Tumblr HQ. There’s something magical around every corner. It’s pretty much exactly like Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory without the fruit-coated wallpaper (I’ve checked).
On the other hand, we do spontaneously break into song after sending disobedient children to...

You guys! Look at these Tumblrs I found. They were just sitting there in the answers to last week’s Tumblr Tuesday. That reminds me: Did you know that I visit and read every single suggestion you folks make? It’s true. I also make surprise visits to each site over the course of several weeks and perform an intense series of interviews with the Tumblr user to be sure they meet my strict...

Greetings, Tumblr! I’m coming to you live from a runaway balloon somewhere over Colorado. I’m risking my life here just to get publicity for Tumblr Tuesday and all the rad stuff you guys are doing. I figure that the GQ t-shirt guy from your Dashboard liveblogging in an out-of-control ballon is one hell of a story.
Crap! I’m losing altitude! Hold on, everyone.
Ugh. Good gravy! I’m...
