O.P. [Request] Update Tumblr blog from WLM
Tumblr is a really nice personal blogging platform, designed for posting "snippets" rather than large, journal-like posts. I just signed up yesterday, but was immediately impressed with how lite and streamlined it felt.

I was wondering if it is possible to create a script which posts a text update to a specified Tumblr blog from a WLM window. For example, something like /tumblrpost Hello World, and it updates the Tumblr with Hello World. In essence, this would be turning WLM into a "desktop client" for Tumblr.

And if anyone is REALLY creative, perhaps they can find a way to perform other types of updates(image, audio, video), as well?

Information on the Tumblr API
Some existing programs for interacting with Tumblr from the outside Maybe helpful, maybe not. =P You have to be logged in to see this page.

Also perhaps relevant: Each user is given an email that they can use to text updates to via cell phone. I don't have or use a cellphone, but perhaps this would be useful in carrying out remote updates? Just a thought.

Finally, a bonus idea: a system which reads specified RSS feeds, and notifies you of updates to them the via toast. One might thus specify the RSS feeds of friends' Tumblrs.

I'd attempt it myself, but I've never done a script which interacts with forces outside of WLM, and I've no idea where to begin.

Anyway, if this is possible, I hope someone will consider it. Thanks for reading :3
