Hey there, Tumblr aficionados! Ready to take your blogging game up a notch? Or, perhaps, you’ve gotten tangled in the web of confusion regarding those squeaky clean Tumblr URLs? Don’t worry! I’m here to unravel all those URL mysteries for you—so let’s jump right into it!
So, can Tumblr names have those catchy little tags like [username].tumblr.com? Absolutely! But don’t get too comfy because there’s a twist—you’re not just gifted this charming URL on a silver platter. You have to take a little journey through the mystical land of your Blog Settings to get that delightful double header of URLs!
To snag your [username].tumblr.com, follow this simplified, yet exciting quest:
- Head over to your dashboard. (You know, that place where all the magic happens on desktop!)
- Click on the specific blog you want to upgrade to [username].tumblr.com.
- Look for the sidebar and click on “Blog Settings”.
- Scroll down to the “Custom Theme” section. You should see a toggle labeled “Enable custom theme”. Give that toggle a hearty ON!
And just like that, you’ve unlocked the coveted URL! 
You can double-check your fabulous new URL by typing it into a separate tab, or simply hitting the refresh button in your Blog Settings—voilà, both URLs are now strutting their stuff!
But wait, why might some folks still be lingering with just tumblr.com/[username]? 
It could be that they aren’t aware of the magical toggle switch or simply prefer that old-school feel. But let’s be real, with all those custom themes popping up, who wouldn’t want to dress their blog in the latest trends?
On a side note, brace yourselves, because Tumblr will soon roll out some AI madness where your user-generated masterpieces might just become fodder for tech companies training their AI monsters
