Hey everyone! The new Customize page is live.
It’s a huge interface improvement, and it’s set to handle some big features we’re just about ready to launch.
Please let us know what you think!

If you weren’t seeing your “Tumblr crushes” on the Following page, we just fixed a bug that was incorrectly hiding it for some people.
We just pushed a newly designed Theme Garden, and we’re working on approving the backlog of (several hundred!) theme submissions. Sorry for the delay.
It occurred to me last night that this little head is seen by more people each day than anything else I’ve ever drawn. It’s the default Tumblr avatar.
For years I worked in the same office with David Karp, the wonderkind Internet entrepreneur. In April 2007, he walked over to my desk and asked me to design a little head logo for this new application he was building called “Tumblr.”
I drew a couple versions and he picked one.
It’s still the default avatar (for the time being!)
Go follow our friend, Dan Meth, and check out his videos if you haven’t seen them yet!
Tumblerette is now the official Tumblr iPhone App! (and it’s free!)
Tumblerette was originally developed by the insanely talented Garrett Ross and Jeff Rock at Mobelux. We had the pleasure of hanging out with them in New York last month. Not only are these guys remarkable developers, they have an incredibly inspiring vision for building consumer products, and we couldn’t wait to start working with them on the next suite of Tumblr/iPhone features.
There’s a ton we have planned for mobile devices and the iPhone, and we’re obviously thrilled to be working with Jeff and Garrett :)
If you’ve already downloaded Tumblerette, you’ll need to re-download the new Tumblr app to get the updates. This version comes with some slick new features, including the iPhone native Dashboard. Go download it!! →
