Question

I am using:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://underlineent.tumblr.com/api/read/json">
</script> 

To get my Tumblr blog onto this site and it is not working. Can someone help?

The link is tumblr’s api of fetching a tumblr blog through javascript. On their api site it says that is all i need to fetch the blog. I am wondering if i made a stupid mistake or if godaddy blocks javascript or something of the sort.

<script type="text/javascript" src="underlineent.tumblr.com/api/read/json"></script>

You want an external script reference instead. This one looks locally.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://underlineent.tumblr.com/api/read/json"></script>

Prepending with “http://” gets the real URL rather then the local one.

Your asking tumblr to load your data into a local variable. There is absolutely no javascript on the page to manipulate said local variable. You need to include (probably something from tumblr) javascript to manipulate tumblr_api_read

As you can see at their API docs you need to manipulate the data manually.

<script type="text/javascript">
    var posts = tumblr_api_read.posts;
    for (var i = 0, len = posts.length; i < len; i++) {
         var div = document.createNode("div");
         div.innerHTML = posts[i]["video-player"];
         document.body.appendChild(div);
    }
</script>
