Tumblr is easy to set up – follow the wizard and get started. Create either a public or private or even limit certain readers Tumblr account. Once you’re set up, you can customize your site with themes, include your avatar, and link to your other social media accounts.

• Tumblr offers a bookmarklet you can drag to your browser’s toolbar and use to add links and media to your Tumblr site.
• There’s also a Facebook application that allows you to cross-post your Tumblr items to your Facebook account.
• You can download the iPhone application so you can take photos or record video while you’re out and about and post those directly to your Tumblr page.
• If you have a Mac, you can download a dashboard widget so you can share things directly from your desktop without going to your browser.
• You can choose to automatically or selectively share your Tumblr posts on Twitter.
• You can even post to Tumblr via text or e-mail from your phone.

There are so many third-party applications for Tumblr it would be a shame to not take advantage of this great service!
