    you should first cache your login info to avoid having to pass it everytime

      /Users/ahoward/.tumblr.yml
  
    you can post
  
      cfp: ~> tumblr write regular title=testing body=rock_on
  
    you can post from files

      cfp: ~> tumblr read start=42 num=42

    you can test the auth
  
      cfp: ~> tumblr authenticate
  
    etc.
