Tumblr is a fantastic microblogging platform that allows users to post text, images, videos, links, quotes and audio through an easy-to-update interface. Many bloggers are choosing Tumblr for certain types of blogs that don’t require a full-featured blogging platform such as WordPress. However, if you want the flexibility to blog from either platform, we’ve selected a few tools that will help to make cross-posting between WordPress and Tumblr much easier.
Tumble
The Tumble WordPress plugin adds a one-click “Post to Tumblr” action to your WordPress posts, as well as photos, audio, and video within your media library. This is very handy if WordPress is the main place where you post your content and you don’t want to be bothered with re-creating this content on Tumblr.

Tumblr
After you give this plugin access to your Tumblr account, it will automatically publish content from WordPress to Tumblr, essentially allowing you to be in two places at once. It also allows you to perform tasks like unlike, delete, reblog and view posts.

Tumblr Widget
The Tumblr widget allows you to display the contents of any Tumblog in any widget-enabled area of your WordPress blog. Import all Tumblr posts or specify certain categories (photo, link, quotation, etc.) to display. It also comes with many options for formatting and sizing the posts.

WordPress Tumblr AJAX Widget
This plugin launches an AJAX call to a selected Tumblr blog and displays the last couple of posts. It also creates a widget you can use in your blog that will draw posts from a Tumblr blog feed.

Woo Tumblog
The Woo Tumblog plugin allows you to create Tumblog-formatted posts using WordPress. It matches the same ease of posting that you experience with Tumblr but with the full power of WordPress CMS capabilities.

Tumblr Recent Photo Widget
This plugin gives you a widget that shows Tumblr’s photo thumbnails on your sidebar. Simply input your Tumblr ID and how many images you want to show on your widget. You can also specify each images’s CSS when configuring the widget.
Download Plugin
WP Get Tumblr
The WP Get Tumbler plugin imports Tumblr posts using the Tumblr API. This one isn’t as much plug and play but will give you what you need to be able to import posts. Insert get_tumblr(‘tumblr id’,'number of posts’); into your theme where you want to show the posts.
I also have an account on tmblr but I never used it much but after reading your post I am again looking to tmblr and want to integrate it with my wordpress blog.
Thanks for posting
I use the Tumble plugin and I love it!
I’m wondering if there is a plugin out there that will allow users to “reblog” my wordpress posts to tumblr. Anything at all?
Thanks!
For me, Tumblr has been a good source of “extra” views. I’m gonna try the plugin.
I would like the same thing Tye mentioned. I would like other tumblrs to be able to re-blog my stuff on wordpress to THEIR tumblr account. I guess for now we have to hope the tumblr owner has the browser extension or plugin to reblog from a non-tumblr site. Thanks for the list of plugins though – I hadn’t heard of a couple of them.
I too want users to be able to easily reblog my WordPress.org content to their tumblrs. I just found this Tumblr share button — I’m excited to try it out.

Very useful!
Having just setup my Tumblr account to help promote my personalised bottle label website the Tumblr plugin will be great to use on my wordpress blog to repost my articles.
Would reposting cause any duplicate content problems with Google? I assume not as so many articles reblog posts and still have good pagerank.
I added the WordPress to my main website, stickybottles.co.uk so I could easily update my blog and find the CMS abilities much better than what my ecommerce platform provides and also in the hope of people finding my site when searching for relevant keywords.
It’s still very early days yet, my site was only created a few weeks ago, although it got a pagerank of 3 within a month of being finished!
Is there any third party for auto-posting to Tumblr?
It mean I need no install anything.
oh, and let’s not forget about the ifttt.com web site solution, which links the content from your tumblr to your wordpress and viceversa
