Very interesting. Stay tuned for some changes to Tumblr this week. It won’t be “an ‘ad unit per se’ but rather ‘a package of native promotion for the Tumblr post.’”

We love how Whatahootowl is using our Storefront theme! She’s promoting her Etsy store products - cute phone charms and knitting - and has even successfully added a PayPal widget directly to her blog. Brilliant!

Keep up the good work, Whatahootowl.

What to do if you Tumblr account gets hacked - like ours :(

Here’s what the Tumblr support team says to do if you’ve been hacked:

Change the passwords and security questions that you use with your Tumblr and email accounts, and that you make sure your computer(s) are physically and digitally secure.

Your Tumblr password can be changed at https://tumblr.com/preferences.
A lot of hackers will post through email, so also reset your mobile posting email address. To do this, click on your blog’s title at the top of your Dashboard or under the list icon at the top right of the Dashboard. Then click Settings on the right side of the screen. Scroll down to the “Post by Email” section and click the “Reset” button to the right.

How to prevent your account from being hacked:

If you use Tumblr on a public computer, always use the Power Button Icon at the top of the Dashboard to log out of Tumblr at the end of your session.
To ensure that your Tumblr account says safe, never enter your Tumblr credentials on any site other than www.tumblr.com. Always look for the green “Tumblr, Inc.” emblem in your browser at login as shown at http://staff.tumblr.com/post/15260097735/ev-cert. And, never install any software on your computer from a source you don’t know and trust.

“Compromised Tumblr accounts sporting fake Starbucks gift cards”

This happened to us, even though we never clicked on the supposed gift card offer. Watch out for this spam - DO NOT click on it.

News tidbit: We just added Disqus to our blog. Feel free to share your thoughts and ideas with us, you guys! Just click through to the Permalink page to add your comments.

And if you want to install Disqus, you can do so here.

According to the comic “Internet Justice League” on College Humor, the nemesis of Facebook is… Tumblr! Too bad they depict Tumblr as a jester. We think a well-dressed guy who has the ability to make anyone laugh through blogs like Clients From Hell would be more appropriate!

See the full article, “Internet Justice League: Superheroes of the Online World [SUNDAY COMICS]” here.

Announcing the Slideshow widget!

The Slideshow widget displays rotating photos with a text overlay, making it perfect for showing off your photography, clothing line – anything! Simply tag any blog post with slideshow and the images automatically show up in your homepage slideshow.

Works with all Addwater themes.
