Tumbler couldn’t make it easy to embed your blog to your website. Have in mind that what you can bring to your website is the “homepage” of your blog, the posting themselves will stay in tumblr (unless you display them entirely on it). Also you will be only able to do this is you have access to the html files in your site.
Ура! Tumblr is now available in Russian.
This localization makes Tumblr more accessible in Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and a host of other countries where we’ve seen new Tumblr communities emerging.
This makes eight different languages that Tumblr supports, with more coming!
You can change your language settings on the Preferences page.

Introducing your new Activity page (and “Tumblarity”)
Two big things:
- We’ve added a new link on your Dashboard labeled Tumblarity. This will take you to your new Activity page where you can see cumulative and trending stats about your activity on Tumblr.
For the past few months we’ve been using an internal metric called “Tumblarity” to sort and filter content on the Search and Popular Content pages. Tumblarity is derived from every blog’s activity and popularity across our network. We’re getting ready to start using it to organize the boss new Tumblr directory (which should be done next week!).
For the first time, you can view your Tumblarity on the Dashboard and Activity page.
Please ignore the fact that I’m less popular than fuckyeahparamore.
It’s now super easy to add a “Share on Tumblr” button to any site.
Adding the basic Tumblr Button couldn’t be simpler. Just cut and paste the code and you’ll be off running. But the advanced options are where it gets interesting…
The Tumblr Button can give you complete control over how your content appears when shared on Tumblr. Not only does this mean specifying an excerpt or summary, but also deciding whether it appears as a Link, Quote, Photo, or Video Embed.
Even better: This can be deeply integrated with just about any publishing platform to add contextual buttons next to things like paragraphs or photos. Check out these examples.
The appearance of the button is also completely customizable.
Now Live: The Tumblr Spotlight
We’re always amazed by the breadth and creativity we find on Tumblr, and we’re always looking for better ways for you to showcase your talents and discover other interesting blogs. With the new Spotlight, we’ve set aside a special place to highlight a few of these blogs that truly inspire us.
With your help, we’ve added hundreds to this Spotlight over the last few weeks and we’ll be adding many more, along with new categories and new languages. If you know of a great blog that we’ve missed or have a category you’d like to see, please send it to editors@tumblr.com.
It’s also much easier to find the People You Know tool where you can look up your friends on Tumblr. Note: We’ve moved the option to disable email lookups to your Preferences page.
Facebook provides each user with a unique email that they can use to update their Facebook with. This way you can email a status update, picture, etc. without needing to access the site or the app, plus it works with any email address.
We can use that email address to cross post from Google+,…
