Best way to embed Tumblr as your blog

I have a domain (lets say www.domain.com) and I want one section of that to link to a tumblr blog (lets say www.domain.com/blog.php) I've seen the javascript option in Tumblr for embedding blogs and also tinkered with the API, but essentially, I need the blog to cover the following bases:

It appears there are two ways of doing this; I can either create a page on my site that pulls in my tumblr feed, or forward that page on my site to my tumblr account (which would be skinned up to look identical to my site).

Which way would achieve all of the points outlined above? It if is the latter, would I need to change any DNS settings for my website?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

All of those will end up with duplicated content for Google. I would create a subdomain blog.myurl.com using Tumblr custom domain name http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/custom_domains. This way you have myurl.com with your site and blog.myurl.com for tumblr.

I think you'd see better results by pulling the content into your page. Any reasonable search engine will know it's been forwarded.

You should look into tumblr plugins for your blog software. For example, Wordpress has a Tumblr Widget.
