This rocks

Reblogged from Daily Meh.

Tumblr has updated again. And it rocks, again. If you want to go exploring, consider this post a SPOILER. Highlights:

  • Radar’s back, now not the latest posts, as the earlier version did, but some more editorial control, at least partially based on stuff like reblogs.
  • Dates! Not romantic ones, but date pages, like this. See the theme page. Also, there is now a {block:Pagination} block.
  • Staff picks. Tumblelogs around the world (Google maps, yay! Set your location in the “customize” menu, “directory” tab). Nicely designed tumblelogs. Womanfolk, er, tumblettes. Music tumblelogs. Artsy people. In short, lots of new ways to find new tumblelogs.
  • Preview! Now you can preview posts before publishing. Not much more to say, other than that it’s appreciated.
  • “Brag”: now Tumblr can show a “Create a site like this” button in place of the dashboard, follow, etc., icons for people not logged in. Enable that under the brag tab under “customize”.

Wow - lots of amazing updates by Tumblr.  I’m definitely liking the Staff picks, Music, etc.. pages.  I haven’t really checked out the Radar since its return, but I’m sure I’ll spend a lot more time than I should watching it (especially at work).  Thanks for the highlights Simen.
