How to Read RSS in a Tumblr Dashboard

You can add an external RSS feed to your Tumblr Dashboard layout.

Tumblr is a popular blogging service and social network that lets users share text, image and video posts with their followers. After you create a Tumblr account and start following other users, your Dashboard page will continually refresh and display new content. If you also want to read a specific RSS feed in your Tumblr Dashboard, you can add the feed's URL to your blog's configuration. Tumblr will then import the contents of the RSS feed and display the stories alongside your other Dashboard posts.

Instructions

1. Launch a Web browser, and go to Tumblr.com.

2. Enter your email address and password, then press the "Log In" button.

3. Click on the gear icon in the upper-right corner of your Dashboard.

4. Click on the button labeled "Customize your blog."

5. Go to the "Services" tab at the top of the page.

6. Click on "Automatically Import My," and choose "RSS Feed" from the drop-down menu.

7. Enter the URL of the RSS feed you want to add to your Dashboard in the "Feed URL" field.

8. Press the "Start Importing This Feed" button, then click the green "Save + Close" button to return to your Dashboard.
