How to Replace a Tumblr
Tumblr blogs let you share posts, photos and video clips with your Tumblr followers and the public. If a Tumblr post or photo becomes out-of-date or irrelevant, or a hyperlink to an external video clip or Web page changes, you can replace the original post with a new, updated version. To replace a Tumblr item, use the “Edit” or “Delete” feature in the Tumblr Dashboard.
