How to Import Blog to Tumblr Tutorial
On average, each post is re-blogged nine times,
so consider content first and be hasty later.
Sign up Tumblr keeping in mind two things:
1. The name you give to your blog will be your
account name
2. You cannot invite other authors to your
blog. You may do it on blogs that you
create/add later.
Now you are ready to write a blog. In the dashboard you have seven tools:
1. Text with a picture
2. Photos + two lines of description
3. Video + two lines of description
4. Audio + two lines of description
5. Links to whatever you found on the web with an
explanation below on what it is and why
6. Citation of a text you read
7. Chat - to bring a conversation in.
Before you start your blog, you might want to
customize it.
Click on its name, next to the dashboard of your
blog, in the sidebar and then choose the “customize theme”. You can choose a theme from what you see
there. Tumblr has a guide to create your
own theme from scratch if that takes your fancy.
Click on the name of your blog on your dashboard
and then go to the blog settings. Here
you can link your Twitter account if you wish.
The settings of the blog also contain the function to point to your
domain. Follow (click the "+"
on the Tumblelog). In the spotlight is
promoted by Tumblr blogs and explores the most used tags. The posts of people you follow then end up in
the feed of your dashboard. Paying a
little money you will be able to highlight your post so that it is more visible
in the dashboard of your followers.
To post quickly, install the bookmarklet in your
browser and download the 'app for smartphones.
When you find something you want to post online, remember that selecting
the text with the mouse will have already provided it in the citation
format. When you create a post through
the bookmarklet, you can always change the type of posts and add tags and
default url of the post, in the advanced settings.
Importing a blog from one place to Tumblr can be
done in various ways. You can cut it up
and copy/paste it into your current blog, or you can use one of the many blog
export tools. There are quite a few out
there like:

Though I cannot vouch for them myself, I know
there is enough choice out there so that a little research will aid you in
finding your ideal one.
