How to Block the Sponsored Posts on your Tumblr Dashboard

I was surprised at how intrusive I found the sponsored posts that have started appearing in the stream on my Tumblr dashboard.  Luckily if you run the AdBlockplugin it's super easy to tweak your settings to block the sponsored posts:

First, open your AdBlock menu from the icon.  This should be in the upper-right corner of your browser window (I'm using Chrome on OSX in the example).  Select "Options" and you should see this menu towards the botton of your screen.

You'll want to paste this line of code to the bottom of the "Manually Edit Your Filters" window:

www.tumblr.com##DIV[class="sponsored_post"]

Click the "edit" button, add the line of code, and then click the "paste" button. This will block all sponsored posts that appear on Tumblr.com.
