How to Import a Blog to Tumblr

Tumblr provides an array of solutions for posting content and connecting to other online services, including the option to import a blog and post it automatically to Tumblr. Tumblr specifically supports importing from blogging platforms like wordpress.com, Blogger and LiveJournal, but you can also import any RSS feed to your Tumblr blog. Tumblr also gives you the option to automatically import your blog as links, links with summaries, photos or text without titles.

Instructions

1. Go to your blog's RSS feed and copy the URL.

2. Go to Tumblr.com and log in to your account.

3. Click the "Customize" link in the right column of your Dashboard.

4. Click the "Services" tab on the "Customize" page.

5. Click the tab under "Automatically import my" and select your blogging platform or "RSS feed" if it's unavailable. Add your username for blogging platforms or paste your blog's RSS feed URL into the "Feed URL" field.

6. Click the tab next to "as." Select "Links" to import your blog as links, featuring only the title. Select "Links with summaries" to include a link to your post and truncated text. Select "Text without titles" to import the body of your post without the title. Select "Photos" to import photos.

7. Click the "Start importing this feed" button.
