The Chimplr integration allows you to add a signup button to your Tumblr pages, right next to your other Tumblr controls. When a potential subscriber clicks on your "newsletter" button, it will trigger a popup window with a mini-signup form. You can find out more about Chimplr here or from the blog post.
