Tumblr 101: Setting Up Your Blog
Jul. 15th, 2016 09:00 amPreviously on: Tumblr as a Coffee Shop AU: the shape of tumbr community
This time: setting up your tumblr!! deciding whether you want a tumblr account, usernames, primary blogs vs sideblogs, themes, and settings.
This post gets into a lot of the nitty-gritty of how to fine-tune the look of your blog and your privacy and communication settings. If you're not interested in those details (which is fine - you don't need to understand it all to use tumblr) stick to questions 1-2 and 13-15, and come back next time for more about how to find the content you want and the blogs you want to follow.
( 1. Do I want a tumblr account? )
( Q2-4. How do I pick and manage usernames? (image-heavy) )( Q5-8. What are primary blogs and sideblogs, and how are they different? )( Q9-11. How do I change and choose my tumblr's appearance? (image-heavy) )( Q12. What settings should I be aware of? )( Q13-15. What are tumblr savior and xkit, and why do I want them? (image-heavy) )
