Today, Tumblr passed one BILLION posts!

I never imagined we would make it this far so quickly, and apparently neither did Jacob when he designed the About page.

The things you do with Tumblr continue to blow our minds. :)

Thanks for the shout out, TC!

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: Camera Info

The Dashboard now lets you view the Camera Model, ISO, Aperture, Exposure, and Focal Length of any photo uploaded with Exif data.

We’ve also made this data available in themes with the following tags:

{block:Exif}
    {block:Camera}
        Camera: {Camera}<br />
    {/block:Camera}

    {block:Aperture}
        Aperture: {Aperture}<br />
    {/block:Aperture}

    {block:Exposure}
        Exposure: {Exposure}<br />
    {/block:Exposure}

    {block:FocalLength}
        Focal Length: {FocalLength}<br />
    {/block:FocalLength}
{/block:Exif}

Clark went on a harrowing bulldog walk last weekend that lasted nearly 30 minutes and spanned fifteen blocks!

Some moments deserve more than one angle. That’s why we’re ecstatic to give Photosets a huge upgrade today, giving you new levels of control to tell your stories the way you want to.

1) Photoset photos now open in all their high-res glory on the Dashboard and on your blog.

2) You can now pick a layout for your photos to tell the right story.

3) Tumblr Themes can now make Photosets look and work any way you please with a host of new theme variables:

{block:Photoset}
    <!-- Number of photos -->
    {PhotoCount}

    <!-- Integer representation of the layout -->
    {PhotosetLayout}

    <!-- JS array of the Photoset column counts -->
    {JSPhotosetLayout}

    <!-- Each of the Photoset photos -->
    {block:Photos}
        {PhotoURL-500}

        {block:HighRes}
            {PhotoURL-HighRes}
        {/block:HighRes}

        {Caption}

        {block:Exif} ... {/block:Exif}
    {/block:Photos}
{/block:Photoset}

Enjoy!
