Do you know of a way to have a Tumblr blog running on a rails app? Example: I'd like to have www.mydomain.com/blog

  That's pretty easy, I did it with my blog. Check their help docs: http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/custom_domains http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/custom_domains In brief, you would set up a custom domain name, and then if necessary set a redirect so that "blog.mydomain.com" points to "mydomain.com/blog".

    Thanks for the tip. Im not sure if this would have any averse effect on the site's SEO though. How did you deal with that? Did you do a 301 redirect for everything? Example blog.mydomain.com/article1 to www.mydomain.com/blog/article1

      I believe that simply redirecting the base URL obviates the need of setting up redirects for each post, but it's been a long while since I looked into that. Hopefully someone else will give you a more definitive answer.

        As per bingo card guy (patio1 I belive) domain.com/blog has better SEO than blog.domain.com
