How to tell HTML from HTML5 

How to tell HTML from HTML5 

(Source: terminally-incoherent)

(via Twitter / @theRab)

Testing #newnewtwitter embedded tweets using javascript snippet in the video type tumblr post from the bookmarklet.

Result: doesn’t work… how did attaboy do it? 

Test 2: I embedded a tweet in the body of a link type post and it works. still not optimal, seems like tumblr should get with it and add this feature natively. 

Google is building KITT.

I want to be Michael Knight.

Is Your Browser Ready for HTML5?

If you want to find out how well-equipped your browser is for the HTML5 future, just pay a visit HTML5test.com.

marco: The Tumblr Backup app is ready for its first beta testing. Download (Mac OS X, requires 10.5 or higher) Unlike other publishing sites’ approach to backups, our goal was to create a useful copy of your blog’s content that can be viewed on any computer, burned to a CD, or hosted as an archive of static HTML files. Wherever possible, we use simple file formats. Our backup structure is optimized for Mac OS X’s Spotlight for searching and Quick Look for browsing, and we’ll try to use the same structure and achieve the same benefits on other platforms. Release notes: Sorry, there’s no Windows version yet. The output is minimally styled in a plain theme to ensure complete backups, zero external requirements, and a consistent data structure. Custom theme code is included in the backup as a separate file. To view the backup in a browser, open the index.html file. Photosets are not yet fully downloaded. (Next version.) The following are not backed up: Private tumblelogs Submissions Notes Feed-imported posts Audio files from reblogged posts You can launch the app every few days and re-run the backup in the same place, and it effectively performs an incremental media backup: image and audio files are only re-downloaded if they don’t already exist in the target folder. Text content and post data are re-downloaded in full every time. If you have private posts, be careful if you make the backup publicly available. Private posts are included in a private folder, and their images or audio files are included in the standard images and audio folders. Are you a programmer? Each post’s XML data, as specified by our API, is embedded inside an easily-parsed-out HTML comment in each post’s HTML file, in case you want to do anything cool with it. To report bugs, email me. Thanks.

staff: Please help us test Tumblr v4! We’re getting ready to push our biggest interface overhaul since last November, and we’d love to get your feedback. Nearly every piece of the interface has changed. We’ve tried to perfect the presentation of the Dashboard, and the retooled interface will enable a lot of the new functionality we’re prepping to launch. It’s still early, so please let us know if anything seems funny. You can access the beta at www.tumblr-beta.com. oooooh, cooool.
