How to Transfer Tumblr Posts to Another Account
The microblogging website Tumblr allows you to create posts that include text, links, images, videos and audio. At the time of publishing, there is no option to automatically transfer your Tumblr posts to a new Tumblr account. To transfer your posts, you must change your Tumblr URL so that your posts are displayed under the new account name, or manually transfer the posts from one Tumblr account to another.
