Tumblr introduces Submissions for community-powered blogs
There’s a growing genre of really popular blogs that rely on reader submissions for content. I Can Has Cheezburger, Cute Overload or Texts from Last Night are just a few of the community-powered sites to catch on over the past few years. Some have handled submissions manually through an email address, and some have set up their own submission systems. Since the staff at Tumblr noticed that folks were using their platform for this kind of material, they decided to make it easier and introduce Tumblr Submissions . You can turn on Submissions from Tumblr’s Customize screen to enable readers to drop posts into your submission queue via email or a modified version of Tumblr’s regular posting interface. The queue is accessible from your dashboard, and you can clean it out or approve posts from there. Submissions aren’t going to be useful for everyone, but if you were thinking of starting some kind of themed blog with user-generated content, Tumblr should be your go-to platform.

I‘m sure many of you are like me and one of the first things you do in the morning is head here and check out the new post. Along with seeing the new posts, I’m also always checking out the blog roll rss feed and watching them grow, or shrink sometimes. In one of my past …but all in all excellent site. Keep it up!

Hey, I really enjoy your blog. I have a blog too in a totally unrelated field (Online Stock Trading) but I like to check in here on a regular basis, just to see what’s going on and it’s always interesting to say the least. It’s always entertaining what people have to say.
