As Tumblr continues its path toward domination, I was shocked to find that there isn’t a single Tumblr book available anywhere…until now! Tumblr is fantastically intuitive, however, there’s a great deal of power available to you — if you learn how to harness it! That’s my goal in this new Rockable Press book + companion screencasts: teach you how to be a Tumblr pro! Along the way, we’ll learn how to create customization options, work with the Tumblr API, allow for added functionality, and a plethora of other awesome things!
