If you ever want to customize your Tumblr’s mobile theme…
The code is available at Github. You can edit all of the colors, and it is Disqus-enabled too, which is pretty cool. I use my iPhone for Tumblr a lot, so I visit people’s Tumblrs there. Having a custom mobile theme helps make the site easy to use on the phone, while still preserving your color and background choices. I have it set up for all of my blogs.

Update:
I realized I left some important tips off of this post. Apologies.
To use a mobile theme, you will add a page to your blog, and title this page “iphone-theme”. Tumblr gives you the option of what template to use, so make sure you select “Custom HTML”. Just paste your customized code into the box, make sure you don’t select “show a link to this page”, and save it. Visit your blog on your mobile device, and voila!
It’s pretty neat, actually. Gives your blog a more put-together and professional look, IMHO.
Let me know if you have any questions about Tumblr settings or coding. I will do my best to answer them.

This new Tumblr iPhone app is slow as shit. Why does the dashboard load slower now? It doesn’t make sense. An http request is an http request, no matter how it’s made. I am mystified. This is why my tumblr usage has been down this week.
Fix it please?
But please, by all means
Let’s bring the useless and broken tag search feature to the mobile app.
Must have something to do with them trying to monetize or something.
Still no easy way to view the posts via their permalinks though :-(
How about Fuck no.
I don’t understand the issue. I did the Twitter one, and found a bunch of blogs by people I follow on Twitter that I didn’t even realize had Tumblr accounts. Besides, my Tumblr posts to Twitter, so they already had my info anyway.
Relax.
My new theme is pretty slick
Thanks, Mike! (destroyer, sleepless themes)
So, many of you may not know this, but I run a fan blog for a fairly prominent Japanese model
And there is a Twitter account attached to it that sends a tweet every time the blog is updated, too. I have placed both on the blog itself and the Twitter account that I am not the model the site is dedicated to, rather I am just a fan. I also put the standard disclaimer about not owning any of the pictures or videos, etc. I supply a link to the model’s own official site, as well as some other resources.
And yet, every day, there is a tweet or a comment asking me to follow them or some shit, and they seem to think I am her. It would be funny if it wasn’t so annoying. Shit the blog has more followers than my own blog, gets about 60,000 visits per month (and about twice that many pageviews), and the Twitter account has over 1,200 followers, so you can imagine how often this happens.
Also, copycats. Most of the time, whatever, I don’t care. But there is one, using a very similar URL, who also happens to be a fucking idiot. Constantly posting shit that is either stupid, racist, or rude. And this dipshit had the nerve to attempt to call me out for being a copycat. Shit son, this blog’s been up since early 2010, so don’t give me that shit.
Anyway, rant over. Regular Tumblr activities may now resume.
why Tumblr hates Missing E
Because Jeremy thinks of things first, and then Tumblr decides, “hey that’s cool, let’s do that!” But they look like they’re ripping off his ideas, so instead of giving credit, or offering to support Missing E and Jeremy, they decide to try to scare people into thinking it’s somehow malicious, and in the process screw Jeremy over.
Witness the new dashboard notes/reblog icons, for example.
Classy, Mr Karp. Real classy. Keep this up, and you might end up as much of an asshole as Mark Zuckerberg.
You guys should support this guy. All he’s done is use Tumblr’s own published API and his programming knowledge in a sincere effort to make Tumblr that much more enjoyable.
