Okay, folks. So. Tumblr’s jumped the shark in a big way, and I’m not even just talking about indiscriminately blocking all “adult” content on a platform that IS, in fact, primarily 18+.
Many blogs, like the wonderful @blackkatmagic , that are not especially NSFW have vanished.
(And I for one LIKE being able to go to curated porn blogs run by actual people and have a chance of finding stuff to my taste, it was one of the things that kept me on this hellsite, but that’s another issue entirely.)
I know lots of people are talking about migrating, but none of us are sure to where yet. Pillowfort seems to be an option, some people are talking about Twitter. But for now, it’s a mess, and even if we knew where we were going, it’s often a huge process, and a lot of us have stuff on tumblr that ONLY exists there.
One possible quick solution to save your blogs, both NSFW and personal, is to import it to WordPress. I found this solution through from frantic googling on how to save an entire blog, text posts an all. There are several apps for downloading all the pictures from a tumblr, (Plently for Windows, but only a few paid ones for mac, of which Tumbelog Picture Downloader is working for me so far) but this is the only solution I’ve seen so far that allows you to save EVERYTHING. I downloaded my NSFW blog in like 10 min. My regular blog, which is significantly larger, is in the process of importing, but I don’t anticipate any problems. I will, of course, update you if I have any.
This tutorial I found worked really easily. http://quickguide (.) tumblr (.) com/post/39780378703/backing-up-your-tumblr-blog-to-wordpress
I put parenthesis around the .’s like we’re back in FF-Hell, just in case tumblr’s new thing about outgoing links kicks in. You know what to do.
To break it down, just in case:
Sign up for a WordPress.com account at wordpress (.) com/start
You’ll have to create an account, with your email, a username, and a password. They should send you a confirmation email immediately, check it, activate it, and you’re good to go.
On the site, it will ask you for a site name. That page asks you a bunch of other information too, but you only have to fill out the site name.
Then you have to give your site a URL. If you’re lucky, your tumblr URL is still available, if not you’ll have to come up with another one, sorry.
It will tell you if that option is still available for free.
Then it will ask you to pick a plan. Free is really good enough, I swear.
Now you’re set up! You can import your tumblr!
The only differences from the linked tutorial are that the Import button is now on the first level menu, not in tools.
Hit Import, then you have to follow the link for “other importers” at the bottom, to find the option for Tumblr.
Then you’ll have to sign in with tumblr, using your normal tumblr credentials. You’ll be redirected there automatically.
You’ll have to allow WordPress permissions on your blog.
Then your blogs, including all your sideblogs, will show up in wordpress.
Hit import, wait a WHILE depending on the size of your blog, and you’re done!
ALSO!!
I made my NSFW blog private for now, since I don’t know WP’s policy on NSFW.
This means that to access it, someone has to have an account and request access. But hey, part of our problem on this hellsite has been people going places they aren’t wanted, so I don’t personally see this as a bad thing. They can send a request from the landing site on your blog, you get an email, click a link in the email, and PRESTO, they have access.
To make it private, go to Settings > Reading > Site Visibility. Go back and check, it took me changing the setting twice for it to actually stick.
tl;dr, you can import your entire blog to wordpress in just a few steps.
I’m going to tag the hell out of this, in no particular order. PLEASE reblog this and spread the word so people know it’s an option. If you’re having trouble, PM me, and I’m happy to help.

Jack chuckled slightly “Sorry, you just had me so worried.. I guess it got me.. excited” Jack had a slight blush on his face as he pulled on his shirt again.
She left his shoes off and walked over giving her a soft kiss “Work hard, I’ll be in the great hall, and I’ll see you at dinner right?” He asked against her lips. his hand going down her arm.
Astrid laughed a bit at his comment. “I’ll keep that in mind” she spoke as she continued to scrub down her family. She Watched jack briefly in silence as he rested in the other side and she smiled a bit to herself he is like a child definitely but he’s not. Not really
jack was seated like he was for the next 15 minutes, about to doze off. He jumped a bit and tooknthe cloth off “okey! time to get up!” he said as he looked over at Astrid.
Astrid had already gotten out and put on her shirt. She was going to wait till she was fully dressed but he awoke before she could wake him. And she snickered. “Relax Jack” She spoke and slid her pants on and brushed her fingers through her hair.
Jack smiled and sawm over and climbed out, grabbing a towel to dry off “im relaxed, totally” he smiled “lets get back to my room, I have a brush there, and we’ll your clothes needs a wash so i’ll let you borrow one of mine”
“I just need a different shirt. I have another pair of pants” she said to him. And looked at him, “I think I will be staying in my own room tonight by the way. If that’s allowed?” She asked slightly teasing him about the captive thing. She waited patiently for him to dress.
Jack sensed the teasing and he walked over and pulled her close “nah! think i need to keep you close when you speak to me with that tone” he teased back before stealing a kiss and let go “You chose where to sleep yourself, but you are always welcome in my bed” he smiled before putting on his belt and opening the door.
Astrid laughed some as she kissed him. She pulled back after and smiles “thank you.” She spoke and kissed his cheek her hand cupped the other side of his face. And then followed him out.
as they walked out and down the hill every star was visible and jack looked up and smiled “its a gorges night tonight… I dont think ive seen the sky this cleare in ages. Hopefully your friends will get in while the sky is like this, will make it loads easier to spot the island” Jack said as he started to walk agsin down the hill and through the village.
once at the big house jack stopped “Oh! I forgot! just a few more days and your hous will be all finished, they just need to do some fineshing touches”
“That’s true it’s quite beautiful. Minus the cold” she spoke when they moved down into the village and he spoke mentioning her new home she smiles “that’s great! Thank you. It’s amazing and I can’t wait” She added. And she looked around at the village huts and people who wandered around or heading home from whatever they’d been doing all day.
Jack chuckled slightly “Sorry, you just had me so worried.. I guess it got me.. excited” Jack had a slight blush on his face as he pulled on his shirt again.
