A coupe of months ago I started using tumblr and the 1st thing that got to me was that I couldn’t monetize or track it properly, simply because it was on their servers and I didn’t have proper code access. Call me a control freak, but I like full access to stuff.

At that point I decided to build my own open-source tumblr clone. I got quite far in the process and even though it might not look as pretty as the original it does most of it.

The reason I decided post it on here was because I simply don’t have time to work on this anymore and I hope that by posting it here someone else can get some value form it.

Here’s what it doesn’t do yet:
- even though I started working on this, it doesn’t post to twitter/facebook/other social network yet
- It’s not completely theme-able. I started writing functions for this and it’s about half way done (with some provisions in the DB for this as well)
- It doesn’t have a flashy interface, It does have a usable interface, but it’s not as nice as say WordPress.

Installation:
- Import the DB into MySQL.
- Update the setting in the \config.php file.
- And run that easy
- Admin area can be reached by going to: yourdomain.com/admin (u: admin, p: pa55word)

I decided to put this code on sourceforge in the hopes that people who make updates will upload them and together we can make a rad product.

You can grab the source-code here:

This code is completely free to use, but if you do something with it that generates money please don’t be a douche ( ) and swing some beer money my way.

Please note that I will not provide any support for this code, at all, and I take no responsibility for anything good, bad or ugly that might happen as a result of it. By downloading this code you acknowledge that.
