Build a Tumblr-style Blog on EE

Back in the Fall, Andy Johnson wrote up some instructions on creating a Tumblr-like site with EE. It’s a clear and thorough write-up of how to get it done.

Lee Reamsnyder, a technical writer and web designer for IBM in North Carolina, changed it up a bit with his own write-up.

I’ve always been a fan of the experience of Tumblr; as soon as tried it, I knew that I wanted to do something like it for my own site running ExpressionEngine 2.

This very good article by Andy Johnson from a few months ago covers a lot of the basic ideas. I have some additional thoughts based on my experiences trying to doing very close to the same thing.

For experienced EE developers, a lot of this will be nothing groundbreaking, but if you’re relatively new to EE you might find this interesting.

Lee walks you through step-by-step with Control Panel instructions and code samples. A great tutorial you might want to check out if you’re looking to emulate the Tumblr style of blogging.
