Tumblr has rolled out a new update, fixing one of the major issues the platform had that forced a lot of people to use WordPress and Blogger over Tumblr – Essay writing. The micro-blogging platform appears to be breaking away from its niche, and it’s actually a good thing.
The latest update adds some pretty nifty features to the platform, including the ability to add photos and videos anywhere in a post by simply clicking on the ⊕ button that pops up at every new line of text. It also brings dynamite-looking text and an easy-to-use text-styling options that simply appears as you highlight text. Works just like in Medium.
“Whatever you want to write—simple things, flashy things, handsome things, trashy things—now you can write the hell out of it.”

As a fan of long-form writing, I always preferred WordPress over Tumblr. Having less post customization and styling options were the main reasons why I’ve been avoiding Tumblr for a long time. But, thanks to this new update, that may no longer be a problem. If you’re like me, and loves long-form essay writing, you can now use Tumblr as free space for your personal blogs.
