Post settings

Each Tumblr post in the composer has these settings, all optional:
  • Title: a heading at the top of the post.
  • Link URL: a link block added after the text.
  • Source URL: the source credited on the post.
  • Tags: sent to Tumblr as you type them. Separate tags with commas.
The field names and values for the API are on Tumblr posting settings.

Good to know

  • Before a post is scheduled, PostQueen checks that it has at most 30 images and one video.
  • Tumblr sets daily caps per account: 250 posts, 250 image uploads, 20 video uploads and 60 minutes of video. When one is reached, the post fails with a message that says which.
  • A video can be up to 500 MB and 10 minutes long. PostQueen does not check this first.
  • Every post is published on the blog straight away when its time comes.
