"Gabriela Taylor also provides other ways to use Tumblr to make money. Is it the ultimate guide? I'd have to say Yes. It's the best guide I've read for Tumblr. There's a thoughtful comparison of Tumblr and other social media sites like Facebook & Twitter." Zahn also liked the "step-by-step instructions to set up and enhance a Tumblr site.
