“ In order to conserve our resources, Tumblr is no longer supporting feed imports on blogs that have not already imported feeds in the past. We deeply regret any inconvenience that this may cause. But, this change will allow us to focus our resources and energy on other useful Tumblr features. ”
Tumblr support, quoted by Stephan. More: Tumblr removes RSS import.
It might be time to write my own RSS to Tumblr API code. Sigh.

Why I Don’t Use Packrati.us
text 15:16:00
(If you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s a tool for automatically posting links on Twitter to delicious.)
- It links your feeds
- It uses via: to indicate service posting when I use it to attribute
- Twitter is private, delicious is broadcast
- Twitter is for nonsense, delicious is serious
- I could get around those if it posted private then let me share; it doesn’t
- I can’t quote meaningfully in only 120 characters
- It posts the short link text in the description, which is redundant and ugly
- For posts from favourites, there’s even more ugly description text
Still, I suppose if it works for you, knock yourself out.
