Twitter – Customize the message Tumblr sends to Twitter

tumblrtwitter

I have my Tumblr set-up to publish to Twitter as well. Currently it says

Photo: [URL]

This is not very descriptive, are there any options other than [URL] that can be used to automate the publish ?

I don't see a way to change the default message that gets sent to Twitter, but you can customize it individually each time you create a new Tumblr post. The Send to Twitter checkbox in the right-hand sidebar has a little edit link next to it. Click that, and it looks like this:

custom tweet

Voila - slightly less boring than the default text.

Mehper's answer no longer works, as Kirk Woll mentions. As of Feb 2015, you need the following URL to edit:

https://www.tumblr.com/edit/<post_id>?redirect_to=%2Fblog%2F<blog_name>

Replacing < post_id> with your post ID # (example: 406783219) and replacing < blog_name> with the domain of your blog, without the tumblr.com part (example: staff).

https://www.tumblr.com/edit/406783219?redirect_to=%2Fblog%2Fstaff

Obviously, you have to be logged in to your account first, and have the appropriate edit permissions.

Tumblr – Fixing Incorrect Note Count

That happened to me too. It also happens the other way sometimes (like it says you have 2 notes, but really you have 8). The number it shows you is a glitch. The correct number is the number of notes you actually have (so count it, if you really want to know). But there's also been a glitch where it removes previous notes, so maybe the number being shown is correct because they've hidden your other notes?
