This is a micro Gem to get an OAuth token and secret for the Tumblr.com API allowing an external application to post Tumblr.com blog.

Make a directory, cd into it, download the microgem's Gemfile and run bundle install

```shell
mkdir /path/to/some/new/dir
cd /path/to/some/new/dir
wget https://gist.github.com/raw/4577106/6bc9befedcd5238ce9f2ee562cace666dece460c/Gemfile
bundle install
```

Go to the Tumblr OAuth Applications panel, http://www.tumblr.com/oauth/apps, log in if prompted.

Click the "+ Register application" button to grant access to your application and fill in the following to
register a new application.  Unless you know otherwise, use this URL for the "Default callback URL"

Click "Register" and you'll be redirected back to http://www.tumblr.com/oauth/apps . Make

just registered.
