How to Export a Wordpress Feed to Tumblr

If you have a Tumblr account with many followers who do not visit your WordPress website, you may be able to convince some of your followers to begin visiting your website by reposting your WordPress content on your Tumblr blog. To make this process simple, Tumblr has the ability to import content from another website's RSS feed. WordPress generates an RSS feed automatically, so enter this feed address in your Tumblr account to import your content.

Instructions

1. Navigate in your Web browser to Tumblr.com and log in to display the dashboard page for your account.

2. Click the "Customize" link on the right side of the page.

3. Click the "Services" pull-down menu at the top of the page.

4. Scroll down to the "Automatically import my..." section.

5. Click the left drop-down menu, and select "RSS Feed."

6. Click the right drop-down menu, and select "Links," "Links with summaries," "Text without titles" or "Photos."

7. Click the field under "Feed URL," and type the address of your WordPress website's RSS feed. Usually, the feed address is "www.mywebsite.com/RSS" or "www.mywebsite.com/feed."

8. Click "Start importing this feed."

9. Click the "Save + Close" button at the top of the page.

Tips & Warnings

• It may take up to one hour for your WordPress content to appear on your Tumblr blog.

• Tumblr will not download all of your WordPress website's content when you import its RSS feed. Rather, Tumblr imports the last two days of posts. All future WordPress posts will appear on your Tumblr blog.
