Tumblr tried to remove adult content, the bots started removing unrelated content and a bunch of people left. While everyone thinks Tumblr is dead, it has actually become a pretty chill website were everyone just shares random thoughts. I'm Lil-Grimlynn btw.
What’s this? A tutorial vid on Tumblr not being commentated by some cringelord throwing memes and jokes everywhere? Impossible! You sir, are a gentlemen and a scholar! No for real, I had to sift through several fake tutorials before I found you
I've tried using it 3 times in the last 6 or 7 years, and I find it so confusing that I always end up forgetting about it. It is not easy to use, definetely NOT user friendly because things are scattered everywhere, it is badly organized and if you have ADHD, forget about it. Good video though, i'll watch it a few times and see if I jump on Tumblr again. Thank you
The ADHD part explains a lot, I've always preferred twitter since it's just way easier to use. Now I just put all of my creative things onto a google site and call it a day
I just want to say Tumblr is definitely not the platform you want to use for business/monetary purposes. It's a very community and creativity-oriented blogging platform centred around niche fandoms and interests and, most importantly, creative expression such as writing, fanfiction, art and fanart, etc. It's absolute trash to start a business on but that's because that isn't even what it's supposed to be for - it is supposed to be for sharing your love for a fandom and other interests, interacting with the community, reblogging/sharing posts, etc. That's why i think it doesn't really fit in with any other social media platform - so i recommend you use it for all of that.
I’ve missed Tumblr after navigating away from it several years ago! Thanks for the thorough refresher course. It’s so nice to be able to reblog aesthetically pleasing posts to go along with your own content. If you were starting a blog to augment a fairly successful UA-cam channel (already have a dedicated audience), would you go for Tumblr (free), Blogspot (free), or Squarespace ($$$)? The ability to use contextual affiliate links, embed UA-cam videos, and offer a newsletter signup are all important. I essentially just want a backup in case UA-cam changes drastically at any point.
WordPress - websitecreativepro.com is where I do exactly that. Long form content, embed videos, collect emails, engage in affiliate marketing and display ads etc. Depends on the topic of your channel though but in general blogger is ideal for causal use (like a personal blog) Tumblr is a mish mash more gear for personal use and Squarespace is an excellent alternative to WordPress if you're not to keen on learning the technical side of WordPress.
Do you know how I can know what theme someone else uses? There are a few people I watch/follow who have this cool theme and it has everything how I want mine to look but I cannot for the life of me figure out the theme 😢
Go to your dashboard click your icon in the top left corner Go to settings click edit theme scroll to the bottom click add page and its all there, I am unsure of how to post to the pages though
I’m going to keep my tumblr site and use it as a public bookmarking site. Saving videos and ideas I find helpful. Then after 6 months, I’ll create an update on what happened.
I didn't note how to Open Messages sent you. The icon with the smiley face in the upper right hand corner. I note a number of people have messaged me, but I can't 'OPEN' these messages. If I highlight the smiley icon, I get a prompt to type and message others. How to I get messages? Anyone? Thank-you!
i´ve tried to edit the description style (font, font size, etc), but I don´t find that even in html. I write "font size" to search, and nothing appears. I installed some theme, but it wasn´t 100% as I would like, so I need to edit the appearance further. if you can help, please let me know.
Do people follow your account, or your individual blogs? Can they see all the blogs you own? I want a personal Tumblr and a business Tumblr, but if they're trackable for having them in the same account, I prefer to make a separate account
Yea Tumblr is more of a social media platform. Like Reddit, except you can have your own personalized page. Tumblr blogs though can rank and get organic search traffic.
So why do you think Tumblr is often forgotten about and overlooked?
Subscribe and like the video if you enjoyed it.

Eventually UA-cam will be the same way.
i read it is because they romoved explicit content....
Is it necesary to have a website do the themes?

Yea Tumblr is often overlooked and ignored. It's a unique platform for what it is.

Great comment, I agree. it's a weird, blogging/social media hybrid.
I wanted to leave you a like but I don't want to ruin the 666 so have a comment instead
Tumblr scared me away for being confusing 😂 now with other platforms going to s!!t, I'm considering it again. Thanks for the guide!
Happy to help out.
You were going so fast on the domain registration part I got dizzy mate. Other than that, it was informative.
Thanks for the feedback.

Use a custom domain now is found under custom theme (Feb 23)
I want to add pages where I can post specific pics, for example a page for cat pictures and another page for dog pictures, how could that be done?
Go to your dashboard click your icon in the top left corner Go to settings click edit theme scroll to the bottom click add page and its all there, I am unsure of how to post to the pages though
instead of creating specific pages you can just tag pictures as "cat" or "dog" and then create links in your blog that take you to those tags!
how do you do that ?@@luxiiien

I’m going to keep my tumblr site and use it as a public bookmarking site. Saving videos and ideas I find helpful. Then after 6 months, I’ll create an update on what happened.
