Hi,
Thank you for the script. I'm completely novice to scripts and coding so I am about to ask a dumb question. I really need a way to bulk upload posts to tumblr (non-images) and was hoping to use your script. How do I do that? What do I do with the the script/downloaded file? Again, I don't know much abut coding beyond html, css and these kind of things. Thanks
