This module stores information about commonly referenced Tumblr accounts, and retrieves that information when provided a URL from a known Tumblr account.

You should not need to use this module directly. {{EzTumblr}} uses this module to simplify {{TumblrRef}}.

If you find that you are often referencing a Tumblr not known by this module, feel free to edit the table at the top. Please be careful to match the syntax used.
