What she can post to Tumblr

Tumblr gives her the most room of any network she posts to, and it is the one place a long piece can go out whole rather than trimmed. One account can hold several blogs, so connecting is two steps rather than one: you authorize Tumblr, then pick which blog this channel is.

Character limit

32,768 characters, the largest on any channel here

Media

Up to 30 images, or a single video

Post types

A text post with optional title, link and source URL

Analytics

None. Tumblr returns no post-level numbers through their API
Long posts are split into blocks of about 4,000 characters on the way out, on blank lines, which is Tumblr’s own limit for a text block rather than ours. A post reads as one piece either way. Alt text you set on an image is carried through.

Troubleshooting

Tumblr caps how much one account can publish per day and answers with its own limit error. There is nothing to configure here; the posts resume the next day.
Remove the channel and connect again. The blog is chosen at connect time and there is no way to switch it afterwards on an existing channel.
One video per post, and it cannot be mixed with images. Up to 30 images is fine.
