I like the simplicity of the facebook status/notes/news feed CMS. Obviously short posts and long notes are not hard but I'm running into difficulty trying to come up with a way to mimic their "Attach a Link" feature. Does anyone know of a way (or a library) to use asp.net to take/build/create a screen capture of a remote site? I've tr...

Theme Documents are here: http://www.tumblr.com/docs/custom_th...

From what I understand, I request the page, and tumblr returns an xml file with the contents of my blog. But how do I then make this xml into meaningful html? Must I parse it with php, turning the...
Below part of a tumblr theme I'm working on and you will notice that I use the {block:PostType} syntax to declare the opening tag of each post, which is a <li> element in an Ordered List. This allows me to not only dynamicly set the li's class based on the type of post but cuts down on the number of times I'm calling the ShareThis JS whi...
