Step-by-Step: Making Your New Blog
- Open the Tumblr App: So, you’ve got the Tumblr app, right? If not, what are you doing? Go grab it, and we’ll wait!
- Create a New Blog: Tap on your profile icon (that charming little face of yours) and hit the “+” button. You’ll find the mystical option to create a new blog. Embrace the creation process—it’s like birthing a digital masterpiece!
- Choose Your Blog’s Name: Pick something quirky! Or profound. Or meme-worthy! You do you. Just remember, this is your internet persona, stylishly flaunt it.
- Privacy Settings Galore: Now, here’s where it gets technical. After your blog is live, don’t forget to hit those privacy settings hard! But we’ll get into that exciting drama in a moment.
- Customize Your Blog: Add a profile picture, a fabulous header, and don’t forget to write an enticing bio that screams ‘follow me, I’m awesome!’
Can People See That Your Sideblogs Are Yours?
Let’s have a heart-to-heart about visibility. So, can anyone put two and two together to realize your sideblog is really your secret hideout? Well, yes and no. If you enable the “Show author portraits” feature from the desktop version (yes, dust off your laptop ‘cause we’re going old school a bit!), every post you create with that sideblog will proudly display your main blog’s profile picture. Touché! Now, anyone can easily hop from your side blog back to your main blog like they stumbled into a surprise party!
Want to play it secret agent style? Just turn off that feature, and voilà! Your sideblog can be as mysterious as a cat in the night. Hushed tones only!
Craving More Privacy? Here’s What You Can Do
- Disabling Features: Make sure to disable “Share posts you like” and “Share the Tumblrs you’re following” in your account settings.
- Stealth Mode: Enable “Hide [account name] from people without an account” and “Discourage searching of [account name].” No one needs to be peeking in your digital diary!
- Block Selectively: Want to do a little social pruning? If you wish to block a mutual (say what?!), you can do so specifically on your sideblog—technically savvy folks will appreciate this!
Don’t forget, Tumblr’s app allows you to manage just one primary blog. If you fancy juggling multiple personas, your trusty desktop will be your best friend for side blogs!
