So if you ever thought about following Tumblr via RSS…

funsizebytes:

Every Tumblr has an RSS feed.

Just throw /rss at the end. For example: http://funsizebytes.com/ becomes http://funsizebytes.com/rss

You could then import them all into Google Reader.

Why?

Biggest Advantage IMO: You could read them oldest to newest rather than newest first.

Because then you could know how many posts you’d missed, you could sort them by person or by date.

You could do that.

But don’t.

Why?

Because Google reader and Tumblr don’t get along well, or didn’t for me… I ended up re-reading a bunch of the same posts (not reblogs) so it actually took longer to read, and was more frustrating (obviously hearts and reblogs were harder too).

FWIW.

See, I’ve had the opposite experience. Re-blogs are harder to follow, thanks to the vagaries of RSS delivery time, but I can’t keep up with the dashboard, so I have everyone come over as RSS
