Can I import Tumblr posts to my Typepad blog?
I host a 'song a day' site on Tumblr (dailytuneage.com) and would love to include those posts automatically on my main Typepad blog (www.aubreysabala.com). I've currently installed a widget, but I'd want these to actually be posts. (I've used Vox to crosspost in the past, but prefer to keep this site separate.) Is this something that is being looked at?

Inappropriate?Hi aubs!
I'm not sure whether Tumblr has a feature for this. It would need to send from your Tumblr blog TO TypePad, so the sending would have to happen on the Tumblr side. There's a feature like this for delicious.com that sends from that service to TypePad. I'd suggest checking with the folks at Tumblr to see if there's a similar feature. -
Inappropriate?I think we can reverse engineer this. :D
- Go to TypePad > Weblogs > (your blog) > Design > Content.
- Add the 'Embed your own HTML' module to your sidebar.
- Give your module a title such as 'Recent Posts from My Other Blog'
- In the HTML field post this: (for that first lin you'll have to swap in your Tumblr blog's address)
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://yourtumblr.tumblr.com/api/read/json"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.onload = most_recent();
function most_recent(){
for(var i=0;i<30;i++){
var permalink = tumblr_api_read.posts[i].url;
var date = tumblr_api_read.posts[i]['date'];
var title = tumblr_api_read.posts[i]['regular-title'];
var body = tumblr_api_read.posts[i]['regular-body'];
document.write('<div class=tumblr_date>' + date + '</div><div class=tumblr_title><a href=' + permalink + '>' + title + '</a></div><div class=tumblr_body>' + body + '</div>');
}
}
</script>
Save the module and then Save Changes at the bottom of the screen.
Try that out. It should work.

Ah, but Aubs, like me, would "want these to actually be posts." I am highly desirous of the same thing - to import things from other platforms (tweets, FB status updates, etc.) as posts on my TypePad blog, rather than cram them into a module. Basically, she wants Typepad to work the way Tumblr does. I saw that daveman692 did this with his main blog, but I think it is a super tweaked MT blog. -
Inappropriate?Thanks, guys - sp0re is right, I'd love it to be an actual post vs. a side module...if that's possible, I'd be ever-so-excited. Maybe I should enlist daveman692's help! :)
In the meantime, I'll test out the module hack as described above.
