embedtumblr
I'm having difficulty embedding gists in my Tumblr posts. I want to add a tutorial on solving a problem and I want to include source code of the algorithm in my post with syntax highlighting.
I tried to include the embed code of the gist in the HTML of the post, but it didn't work. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
MathJax is now available through a CDN, so you don't have to install it on a server any more. All you need to do is include a few lines in your html header and you can start using mathematics in your posts.
To do this, go to Theme -> Use custom HTML, and insert the following just above the </head> marker:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.1/MathJax.js"></script>
Save changes, and you're ready to include mathematics on your Tumblr pages. Try, for example
\[ \exp(x) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{x^n}{n!} \]
Good luck, hope this helps.
A standard, simple hyperlink way of +1ing something (and sharing to Google+) is now making the rounds on blogs (couldn't find an official source, so it may still be undocumented):

Replace %URL with the URL. This is what shows up in the Google+ stream:

Embed a Gist on Tumblr
There are two ways:
Dirty / Quick:
When creating a post, click
HTMLand then add in the following line:<script src="https://GISTURLHERE.js"></script>This will then include the Gist. The concern with this is the Tumblr parser could remove the inline script tag.
Clean / Slower
Use the following lib: https://github.com/blairvanderhoof/gist-embed
This will embed the gist, after reading the URL from the data-attr. The
codeblock should be unaffected by Tumblrs parser.There are alternatives to this solution, but afaik the basics for most are the same.
Take a URL (to your gist) and then create a script tag pointed to that URL. Once the script has loaded, the gist will be rendered.
Hope that helps.
