Tumblr and oEmbed
Tumblr offers the ability to import a number of feeds so I decided to import my Vimeo likes. However, due to the lack of oEmbed support on Tumblr, these show up as static posts which require a click through to the Vimeo page.
After some searching, it turns out that there is a jquery oEmbed plugin by Richard Chamorro which makes adding oembed support trivial.
You can add the following fragment to your theme (after including jquery and the plugin):
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('div.content h3 a.link').oembed(null,
{
embedMethod: "append",
maxWidth: 500
}
);
});
</script>
