How To Get Me To Start Using Tumblr Again

  1. Install dotjs
  2. Add the following to my ~/.js/tumblr.com.js:

$('#post_state').val(1);

That’s it! Now both the Tumblr bookmarklet and the post page default to “save as draft”, which let me write what I want when it’s on my mind without worrying about how it’s formatted, then go back and fix it up later. dotjs is the best.
