“Hmm?”
Well, for example, what’re you into?
“Pizza.”
Fine, okay. So if you search for “pizza,” then tap “Follow” in the search field, we’ll periodically slip the best new pizza posts right into your dash. Not too many! Just enough to keep you abreast of the pizza scene on Tumblr.
This week’s Tumblr Tuesday adds another twist!
The Dashboard now occasionally features blogs recommended by the people you follow.
Tumblr iPhone 2.0: Now available on the App Store
We’re excited about this one! The app has been recoded, rewired, and rethought from the ground up to offer you the very best Tumblr experience:
There are tons more features and details that are awesomely crafted.
Push notifications for Android!
You pushed for it. It’s happened. Today’s Android update features push notifications, along with a newly-designed activity screen. Now you can get updates whenever someone follows your blog or interacts with your posts.
Because you’re so cool, your phone might start blowing up with notifications. To control which ones you see, go to the Account tab and tap Settings.
iOS coming very soon!
HUGE Theme Upgrades!
We just enabled a massive list of new Appearance Options for theme designers including Custom Fonts, Booleans (useful for toggling options), Custom Text (useful for enabling widgets), and Custom Images!
Some of these features are already available in Jacob Bijani’s and Peter Vidani’s themes, so try them out.
Designers - here’s a quick preview of what’s now possible:
<html>
<head>
<meta name="image:Background" content="https://static.tumblr.com/..."/>
<meta name="image:Header" content=""/>
<meta name="font:Body" content="Arial"/>
<meta name="text:Flickr Username" content=""/>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background: #2D567C url('{image:Background}');
font: normal 14px {font:Body};
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
{block:IfHeaderImage} <img src="{image:Header}"/> {/block:IfHeaderImage}{block:IfNotHeaderImage} <h1>{title}</h1> {/block:IfNotHeaderImage}{block:IfFlickrUsername}
<div id="flickr_widget">
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://flickr.com/widget?user={text:Flickr Username}">
</script>
</div>
{/block:IfFlickrUsername}
</body>
</html>Tomorrow morning we’ll be promoting all the themes with these new options enabled, so hurry!
Big huge update to the iOS app today. Almost too many new features to list. Let’s list them:
That’s not all, but that’s certainly enough for this space. Enjoy.
Two awesome new features for theme designers: Theme Permalinks and Theme Author Pages.
You can now link directly to your theme on Tumblr to promote it yourself. People can also browse all your themes on your Theme Author Page like: https://www.tumblr.com/themes/by/petervidani
Now testing: Email Notifications
One of Tumblr’s most requested features is now in beta!
You can enable it on your Preferences page.
Hey, what’s that? Some really neat new features will be showing up in this menu shortly!
Just a reminder: You can share or hide your likes on the Settings page.
There’s a new OS for the iPhone. It’s called iOS 8. Why? Apple won’t say.
Regardless, we’ve got a new Tumblr app out today that takes advantage of iOS 8’s improved sharing features. Make a photo post right from your Photos app, for example. Or a link post right from Safari. Couldn’t be easier.
Also: Posts are now the full width of the screen. That means photos are 3% larger than before. Sounds like a little, feels like a lot.
Hey everyone! The new Customize page is live.
It’s a huge interface improvement, and it’s set to handle some big features we’re just about ready to launch.
Please let us know what you think!
