Comeks is a super fun and pocket-friendly free iPhone, Android, and Nokia app that will turn your photos into comic-style original content, so they pop with creativity and wit. You can use your existing photo gallery or start from scratch, but the end result is a better-than-reality image that you can quickly add to your tumblelog.

The app comes complete with stickers of all varieties, so whether you want to add callouts, funky hairstyles, sound effects, or symbols, you can find a plethora of image-altering goodies to choose from. You can even add chat bubbles, use multiple photos, rearrange and re-size items, and erase what you don’t want.

You can already record audio posts that automatically post to Tumblr, but Google doesn’t index audio, so if you want transcribed audio posts on your tumblelog, you can turn to Dial2Do.

Dial2Do is a lot like Jott, except it’s free while in beta, so you can use audio commands to record a reminder for yourself, send “texts” to contacts, and best of all get your audio posts transcribed to text and automatically posted to your tumblelog. Basically you just configure your Tumblr account, dial 1(213)325-5615, say the Tumblr command, and start talking. Dial2Do will do the rest.

Sure Tumblr appears to lack some of the typical features we’ve come to expect from blogging platforms, but because you can tweak your Tumblr’s HTML you can add in a lot of those extra features yourself, including your very own tag cloud.

The Tumblr bookmarklet is great, but if you want even more features for browser-based tumbling, this Firefox add-on is top notch.

You can use the extension to drag and drop content — photos, videos, mp3s, quotes, and links — onto the Tumblr icon in the Firefox status bar. Content is then automatically posted to your tumblelog, though you can adjust the settings for each content type so that the extension’s dialogue box prompts you to add additional info prior to posting.

We recently featured 18 of the best music tumblelogs. Did you know that you could use Tumbltape to turn any of those tumblelogs into instant playlists?

It’s super easy. Just visit the Tumbltape site, enter the Tumblr user name of your choice, and click “Go.” The end result is a great little playlist of that tumblelog’s recently posted songs. Pretty cool, right? If you’re still unconvinced, try entering one of our favorite music tumblelogs, “songsyouusedtolove” (or just click any of the tracks in the embedded Tumbltape for a preview). Your ears will thank you.
