So, You Want to Share Your Tumblr Blog as a Link? Here’s How to Get Both URLs!
Ah, the ever-elusive art of sharing your Tumblr blog as a link means the world to you, doesn’t it? And who can blame you? Everyone wants their masterpieces on the internet’s canvas. So, you might be thinking, “Wait, can’t I just use any link and call it a day?” Well, almost! You have two URLs that can do the job: [username].tumblr.com and tumblr.com/[username]. Let’s unlock both of them with a sprinkle of wisdom, shall we?
First off, it’s all about those blog settings! All Tumblrs are automatically linked to that standard domain, which is super convenient (thanks, Tumblr!). But here’s the twist: You need to do a little digging to get that shiny secondary link.
The Steps to Your Tumblr Glory
- Jump on Your Dashboard: If you want to be a pro, you’ll need to do this on the desktop version. Sorry mobile warriors!
- Navigate to Your Blog: Click on that specific sideblog you want to transform (we all know it’s the one with the adorable cat gifs).
- Find Those Blog Settings: In the left sidebar, look for “Blog Settings.” Click it!
- Toggle the Custom Theme: Scroll down until you find the “Custom Theme” section. There’s a little toggle switch that says “Enable custom theme.” Flip that bad boy ON!
- Viola! 🎉 You’ve magically unlocked your [username].tumblr.com URL right next to your regular URL. How cool is that?
You can check out the change by simply typing in your new URL in another tab, or look over at your Blog Settings page, where the magic happens!
Why Bother with Both URLs?
Now, you might be asking, “Why should I have two URLs?” Well, using [username].tumblr.com can be easier when dealing with themes and helps you interact with other blogs more seamlessly, especially on your desktop. Plus, having both options just makes you look super savvy! Totally Instagram-worthy, right?
If you’re still scratching your head about why some people stick only to the regular Tumblr link, don’t fret! They might just be blissfully unaware of that nifty toggle switch – or they enjoy living dangerously, who knows?
Bonus Alert! 🚨 AI Integration
Oh, and before you dash off to spread your Tumblr link to the masses, let’s chat about AI integration on the horizon. Yup, Tumblr’s planning on selling user-created content to tech companies for AI training. 🥳 Don’t worry; you can opt out of this via your Blog Settings by toggling “Prevent Third-Party Sharing.” Keep an eye on that, because who wants their cat memes fueling AI, right?
