tumblr etiquette 101
a list that is nowhere near exhaustive, from yours truly.
First off, welcome! Whether youβre a twitter veteran looking for anything but whatever twitter is, or a new user just done signing up, glad to see you in our ranks beloveds! Welcome home. Refer to this quick tour to make sure your fandom experience (or tumblr experience in general) is a positive one!
Disclaimer: I know itβs long, but please try to read or skim through til the end if youβre new here! This is by no means meant to be a rule book (for the most part lol), only a guide to help you get settled easier!
1) Your blog
This is where people will see and interact with you, so put some effort into it!
Try to choose a name (url) thatβs simple. You can see it as your brand, itβs how people will perceive you and remember you. If youβd like to interact with other users here (and not use the site just for the content) itβs better to have something short and sweet, preferably without spaces. (Of course, these are only suggestions.) Rest assured, you can change it literally any time you want.
Have a theme. Utilize the tool that lets you edit your blogβs color or the font of your bio! You can make it match your profile picture, or your blog if it has a theme of its own. Make it feel homey :]
Fill in your bio. People will be checking out your profile probably more often than you think. Donβt leave it empty! Put in any information youβre comfortable with sharing and isnβt too personal (like your age if youβre a minor, or other TMI that can be found on other peopleβs carrds). Itβs always better to add a name/nickname people can use to refer to you by, but feel free to use your blog description to shitpost still.
