Tumblr Upgrade: The Reblog Option

Click on the photo to view larger.

Hello Everyone! On January 25, 2013 Tumblr Staff officially release their new upgrade that will allow users to have an easier and fun experience with Tumblr. Here's a quick image of how the Reblog works.

An upgrade, years in the making…

When we imagined Tumblr more than seven years ago, we dreamed of offering creators a new canvas. Every post would be a raw look through the author’s eyes and mind. We imagined the interface disappearing as these subjects came to life.

For years, this vision was challenged by limits in browser technology and an increasingly daunting set of Tumblr features to support. But today, we take a huge step.

After months of careful crafting, we’ve reduced creation on Tumblr to its essence, while carrying over every single feature and making room for some BIG new ones (like completely customizable drag-and-drop photoset creation, faster uploads, and inline reblogging!). We can’t wait for you to try it.

Ok, so what's new?
• Faster Reblogging.
• A new Reblog settings that allows you to Custom the URL, content and date.
• Language (you be able to choose different languages now)
• The Strikethrough option for you paragraph. (~~Example~~)

The upgrades have started rolling out and will be available for everyone already. If you have any issues make sure to contact them at the Help Center.
