I’ve been using tumblr for two years (since 2009, and I wrote this in 2011) and am still surprised by what I find/figure out. Missing e is no longer - Get NEW Xkit for Chrome This is more for other little integrated things that is seems a lot of people don’t know tumblr will/can do. NEW: Tag Filtering!

Original tag viewer: In settings/lab turn on “reblog graphs” and now on the bottom of posts in feed you will have a “bubbles” icon click the “bubbles” to see original tags!

Wanna find a post?

Write out what you remember into a Google search.

After you write that out, end with site:tumblr.com

Google will search for your text on just tumblr

In my experience, it’s way more effective than searching through Tumblr

and then write a direct quote (could be a fraction of a sentence) into the quotations, I’ve been doing this for years, and it’s so useful, it works like 99% of the time 

The Single A tumblr theme introduces two new features: the sticky post and featured posts. It is a simple, but super customizable free theme.

Sticky Post

With Single A you have the ability to “stick” one post at the top of your blog regardless of the date and time of the post.

Here’s a video explaining how you create a sticky post.

Let’s say you always want to display at the top of your blog:

An “About Me” post

Your most recent original long-form blog post

An introductory video

A quote that you live by, or

An advertisement

The sticky post feature allows you to do any of these things. With the sticky tag you can highlight whatever you want in your blog’s top spot.

Here’s how you set it up: In the appearance options, define the sticky tag and use that tag on the post that you would like to always display at the top of your blog. The most recent blog post with the sticky tag will always appear at the top.

Featured Posts/Tag

The featured tag enables you to display the five most recent posts of a specific tag in the right sidebar. Similar in layout to the Likes display, the featured tag display allows bloggers to display their five most recent original articles, musicians or music lovers to display their five most recent audio tracks, or photographers to display their five most recent photographs. In short, it’s designed to give you an opportunity to highlight your featured posts long after they have fallen off the first page of your blog.

To enable the featured tag, all you have to do within the appearance options is:

Insert a tag in the featured tag text box

Use that tag on at least one post

Define the label for the featured heading

The sticky post and featured tag are just two of the many features that Single A offers.

You can add social media links; control the color of several styles; upload a custom logo or image; display likes, recent tweets, and group blog features; and incorporate the Disqus commenting platform and Google Analytics.

Create a Tumblr Page to List Posts by the Tag:  Want to show a list of your posts based on a particular tag, such as “tips”? Follow the 12 steps above to create a Tumblr page that redirects to a listing of your blog posts with a specific tag.

Have a new primary blog? Tumblr may not have given you the “redirect page” feature, so Step 6 won’t work for you… yet. You’ll need to follow blogs, like posts and customize your theme to get into Tumblr’s good graces.

I just made a redirect page at http://unwrapping.tumblr.com/tips, which automatically redirects to http://unwrapping.tumblr.com/tagged/tips, to show my posts tagged tips. Why do this? Most themes will display this page link — without tweaking any of your theme’s HTML code — if you set “show a link to this page” on the add page form.

To reach posts with a specific tag on your blog, the URL pattern is: http://[yourblog].tumblr.com/tagged/[yourtag] (omit the brackets).

For multiple-word tags, use either a hyphen or a plus sign between words in the tag URL (such as tumblr-tips or tumblr+themes).

Historical Minnesota Bikeways Maps

A current Minneapolis bikeways map looks a little different than the ones above, which are undated, but likely date from the late 1970s or early 1980s (The IDS Center–pictured on the cover of the first map–was completed in 1972). Very few off road bike paths existed at the time and the number of unsatisfactory, poor, and fair bikeways were significant.

Today, Minneapolis continues to rank among the top 5 best bike cities. This year Walk Score® rated Minneapolis number one! And protected bikeways are popping up all over the city! Groups like the Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition are working to improve cycling conditions and advocate for an even more bicycle-friendly city.

Each of the above maps also includes a bicycle equipment and packing list. In addition to a first aid kit, bike tools, clothes, and everyday cookware, don’t forget a handkerchief, camera and film, coins for phone calls, and a notepad and pencil. Certainly not the list for your average bike ride, but perhaps something to consider for a cross-country excursion.

When’s the best time to post to Tumblr? 

We’ve been consuming the Tumblr firehose for more than a year at Union Metrics. In that time, we’ve processed more than 40 billion Tumblr posts, reblogs and likes! That’s billion. With a B.

We’re often asked when the best time to post to Tumblr is. So to answer that question, we analyzed more than 6 billion Tumblr activites (posts and notes) from the past two months to figure out when Tumblr is most active, and what that activity looks like over time. 

We’ve found that weekends are the busiest days on Tumblr and Sunday is the most active day overall. Nights are the busiest times, no matter the day of the week. Post activity is at the highest at 4:00 pm EDT; notes peak at 10:00 pm EDT.

The heatmaps show Tumblr post and note activity; each square shows the intensity of activity during that day and hour. The darker the color, the busier that hour is. 

So, what can you do with this info? Well, Tumblr is more active at night, so you’re more likely to have a bigger, more engaged audience then. Particularly later at night, when the highest reblog and like activity happens. But if you want less competition, there’s not much going on in the mornings, so you could give that a shot. If you’re a brand or business, you should consider scheduling content outside standard US business hours, especially on the weekends when more people are spending more time on Tumblr. This is particularly important, because compared to other social networks like Twitter and Facebook, Tumblr is much more active on the weekends.

I’ve always liked this quote. I read it directly after looking at Facebook’s growth figures this morning and it was hard not to draw comparisons between Gandhi’s wisdom and Facebook’s development stages.

Co-incidence? Or am I just insanely bored as I’m lying in bed (a bit ill) and have nothing better to think about? Either way, it’s worth a moment to consider…

First They Ignore You - (2004-2006) I refused to join Facebook at first because my friends were throwing sheep at each other (remember that?) and constantly poking their friends. Growth was pretty slow and was mainly young girls. 

Then They Laugh at You - (2006-2008) Facebook starts to become THE platform of choice for people to go to when the want to waste some time, have a laugh and see what their friends are up to. When people realised what an amazing platform it was for connecting everyone you knew, growth accelerated and even brands started taking it seriously. 

Then They Fight You (2008-2010) : It’s easy to have a go at the popular kid and Facebook’s insane growth became impossible to ignore. Let the back-lash against this scary privacy-invading social monster begin. Brands worried about PR disasters becoming viral too quickly and large advertisers and agencies (threatened by a new way of doing marketing) started to claim that Facebook (and it’s advertising model) wasn’t sustainable.
