We're not actually sure *how* to tag on Tumblr. Our LJ/DW posts generally have between fifty and a hundred tags, and, from what we gather, Tumblr won't index that many. One of us pastes all the tags in anyway; the other just tags with #meta and #fandom. Suggestions would be absolutely welcome.
The fact that we, the current link finders, understand so little about Tumblr is why I say that anyone who's willing to link find there will have carte blanche to change how we do things there. It would be silly to recruit someone who knows Tumblr and then hobble them with the way we've been doing things (which we know doesn't work well). My main request will be that they write up some instructions as to how to do it in case we once again find ourselves with no one who knows Tumblr well.
I think that leaving links for us is very useful. We are behind on following up on submitted links, but those links tend to be really good stuff that we wouldn't find any other way.
That said, if you want to be an occasional link finder and write up the links you find, we'd welcome you. Giving you access to our weekly Google doc wouldn't be a big deal, or, if you'd rather, you could write up your links and mail them to us. The format is pretty simple. I can provide you with the template. The hardest parts tend to be the pull quote or summary of the article and the tags.
Links that are already written up can just be pasted into the correct place in the posting document and so don't require very much work at all.
