Tip of the Week: Blog More Efficiently on Tumblr

Tumblr, the blogging platform that was recently purchased by Yahoo, has been around since 2007 and hosts more than 111 million blogs. Over the years, the site has made sharing photos and other content from the Web even easier.

For example, you can post a photo, video or a piece of text to your Tumblr blog with an e-mail message by sending the material to a special address. Tumblr has instructions for publishing by e-mail here.

Third-party browser add-ons, like Post To Tumblr for Google Chrome and Tumblr Post for Mozilla Firefox can make it easier to share items found on the Web.

Tumblr has its own bookmarklet for quickly sharing Web content, as well as a collection of other timesaving tips on its site. You can find instructions for tasks like posting audio clips by phone, mass-editing posts and tags, and using keyboard shortcuts for navigation.
