I haven’t had a lot of time to work on my Tumblr Calendar since the last time I posted about it, but I’ve seen quite a bit of traffic going to the posts. So while there hasn’t been a ton of vocal people showing their support, I take the number of google searches leading you to my blog an indication of support. I was trying to work on it tonight, then tumblr went down, so I decided to give you an update instead.
Unfortunately, Tumblr hasn’t been very supportive and hasn’t lived up to their promise to add support to query by date in their API. So even though they haven’t added that, I’ve decided I’m going to attempt to at least hack this thing together so it will pull the current years worth of posts. Then maybe I’ll put it up on github and the rest of you can have at it! I’ll get another update out when I have something more concret to show/tell. In the mean time, hang in there and let me know if you really are interested!

Hi! I’m very interested in this calendar project, and if you ever manage to hack anything together I would be extremely interested in seeing it. At this point I’m about ready to hardcode a calendar that links to every day page, whether or not there are actually any posts in it, but I think your method would be rather better looking and more usable.
I released it a little bit ago. FInd the info here: http://andrew.serff.net/2011/09/02/tumblr-calendar-released/
Just wanted to give you an update: Like 2 days after I posted this, Tumblr released their new API. So I will have to rewrite a portion of what I had. The biggest thing holding me back was the ability to load all the images for the year. Otherwise, it is working and you can see it on my tumblr account here: http://tumblr.serff.net/calendar
I’ll try to update it and I think i’m to the point where I’m just going to throw it up on github so others can play with it if they want to. I’ll update you all if I get to that point.
would love to use this! make any progress recently??
I have not touched Tumblr Calendar in quite some time, but I believe it still works. You can find more details here: http://sunkencity.org/2011/09/03/tumblr-calendar which will ultimately take you to the code on github with instructions to install it here: https://github.com/sunkencitysoftware/tumblr-calendar/wiki
