Introducing: Submissions
There’s an interesting genre of blog that is more about the community than the author.
At some point you’ve probably seen Eat Sleep Draw, This is why you’re fat, or Cute Overload.
The author starts posting about a topic they care about, the readers start contributing, and before you know it, the author has become a curator.
Tumblr has always been uniquely suited for this type of blog. In fact, 6 of them have gone from Tumblr blog to book deal in the last year.
So today we’re very excited to release Submissions, a feature to streamline community-driven blogs. You can enable it from your blog’s Customize screen to let your readers submit posts via web or email.
This is a big feature

Tip: Post photosets from your iPhone
With the new iPhone OS 3.0, you can attach multiple photos to an email message from your Camera Roll. Tap the action-arrow button, select up to 5 photos, then tap Share.
Email them to Tumblr and we’ll automatically create a photoset.

- U.S.-Russia Nuclear Agreement Is First Step in Broad Effort
- China Locks Down Restive Region After Deadly Clashes
- Robert S. McNamara, Architect of a Futile War, Dies at 93
- Health Co-op Offers Model for Overhaul
- In New York, Summer Brings a Wave of Homeless Families
- Increasing Pace of Injuries Hampers Baseball
Of the top stories in today’s NY Times, I’d say Bush would’ve been helpful with the increase in baseball injuries.
Russia, China, healthcare, homelessness - not so much.

Rent it.Such a great movie. Matt Caldecutt got me into a special screening of this when it first came out. I sat next to that guy from ABC who does the Libertarian specials, and a few seats away from Morley Safer. It was a great time and a great film.
Great movie for sure. My friend Peter was the DP and shared some interesting McNamara stories. Very complex guy who went from President of Ford Motor to the said architect of Vietnam War.
