To customize the way that posts are displayed within the container, override the respective Tumblr[TYPE]Post.ss or, if you've customized the container, create your own include., _(*3)

Include variables follow the syntax and structure of the Tumblr API, based on the "posts" collection of the response. See the module's default includes for examples and be aware of template context., _(*4)

SS_Cache::set_cache_lifetime('tumblr_api_cache', 1800, 10);
