Aggregating Tumblr on Drupal

Just found the answer to the
Just found the answer to the image question. Thought I'd post in case anyone else was wondering.
Assuming you are using the default core aggregator for rss you will most likely need to tell it to allow images in the feeds. Go to admin/content/aggregator/settings and you will see the 'Allowed HTML tags:' section - just add <img> and that should do it.
Still looking for how to promote a feed to the front page. There are a few contributed modules that look promising (Aggregation, FeedAPI, SimpleFeed) Has anyone had any experience with these?

depends on what you want to do
I'm fairly familiar with the aggregation modules. I used to contribute to one of them.
To set a page to be the homepage go to admin >> Site Configuration >> Site Configuration. In here you can choose what page to be the homepage.
If you want to pull the tumblr in as full nodes (first class objects that can have comments, ratings, etc.) then use FeedAPI or SimpleFeed. If you just want to display them use Aggregator.

I have a similar issue
I have a similar idea, but slightly more complex. I want to first import all of my posts to date from my tumblr to my drupal site. THEN, I want to use the rss feature on tumblr from that point forward, so that my tumblr posts direct people to my drupal site (I would be writing new posts through drupal, not tumblr). Can this be done?

I just finished listening to the Web 2.0 episode. One of the guys was talking about how his Tumblr posts would automatically be forwarded to his Drupal site. Really cool idea! Is anyone familiar with how to do this? I set up the feed in the core News Aggregator module. Drupal recognizes there are posts on my Tumblr page but it's not displaying the images. Also, I'm not seeing how to promote the feed to the front page of Drupal. Does anyone have any insight?
