Introducing: Tumblr BlackBerry App
Built by the same brilliant team behind the Tumblr iPhone App, v1 of the official Tumblr BlackBerry App is ready to download!
Has it been three years already?!
February was a month of big milestones for us, possibly the most exciting of which was that you guys viewed Tumblr more than a BILLION times. That’s 36 million times a day, 25,000 times a minute, and more than 400 times a second!
To say thank you, we have some beautiful, free, and awesome features we’ll be pushing this week.
And follow us on Twitter for some special news.
Thank you!!
Now testing: Direct video uploads
Over the next few hours, we’ll be rolling out crazy simple native video uploading to all accounts. This is designed to be an easy alternative to full-blown video sites when all you want to do is post a quick video to your blog.
Just a few notes:
- You can upload up to 5 minutes of video every day. You can break this up across as many videos as you damn well please.
- Tumblr will immediately post most H.264-MP4-AAC videos without transcoding! That means no waiting and no quality loss. Photo Booth videos and iMovie’s “Export to iPod/iPhone” work great.
- If you’re looking to post longer videos, customize your player, or host HD videos, you’ll be much better off with a feature-rich video tool such as Vimeo.
Enjoy!
We did it! Thank you, everyone. :)
But these guys still aren’t letting up. So if you have a minute to sign up and vote, it would be tremendously appreciated!
And try out Dropbox when you have a chance. It’s seriously changed our lives. <3

A closer look at one of Matthew Buchanan’s featured themes: Solaris
One of two new premium themes from Matthew Buchanan, Solaris implements nearly every Tumblr feature imaginable. Custom header graphics, author credit for group blogs, recent tweets, Disqus comments, custom colors, and shared Likes, are all painless to set up.
He’s also added a crazy trick where you can completely invert the colors (from light to dark) with just a click!
I’m inspired to bring a little of the craftsmanship of print typography to the web. I’m also enamored of the minimal, graphic works of illustrators Frank Chimero, Olly Moss and Stefan Dziallas, and wanted to bring some of that style to the largely content-focused layout.— Matthew Buchanan
Solaris is available for just $9 in the Theme Garden. Check out the demo.
Thanks, Matt!
