You can access a tumblr JSON feed by typing this into your address bar:
http://blogname.tumblr.com/api/read/json?num=5
The "num" determines how many posts to display. Replace "blogname" with the blog you want.
You can also use jQuery to collect tumblr blog information and display it:
$.getJSON('http://blogname.tumblr.com/api/read/json?num=5'&callback=?', function(data) {
   $.each(data['posts'], function(i, posts) {
      post = data['posts'][i];
      // go from here
      // url = post['url']
      // date = post['date']
      // type = post['type']
      // the other information will be post-specific
   });
});
The URL for this blog would be:
http://jsonfeedtest.tumblr.com/api/read/json?num=17
