How to Customize a Tumblr RSS Feed
The default RSS feed for your Tumblr blog uses simple XML so that readers can subscribe to your posts. You can find the feed by affixing "/rss" to the end of your blog's URL. You can change your feed to a FeedBurner feed, which allows you to track how many people view and subscribe to your feed. By default, your RSS feed publishes your entire Tumblr posts. You can change this as well.
