Version

This gem supports the methods of the Tumblr API that do not require OAuth. This may change before v3 of the Tumblr API, and will definitely change after v3 of the Tumblr API.

Inspiration

Tumbl_rb was heavily inspired by octokit and sqoot. Reading through and understanding those projects was crucial to understanding the anatomy of a gem (specifically an API wrapper gem). Thanks!
