Can You Make Your Tumblr Private? The Ultimate Guide
Ah, Tumblr—the land of cat memes, deep thoughts, and endless scrolling. But wait, did you know you can sprinkle a little privacy magic on your blog? You can absolutely make your Tumblr private, and it’s easier than binge-watching an entire season of your favorite show in one sitting!
Let’s break it down:
Making Your Blog Private
First things first, if you want to keep your blog a secret garden where only you can frolic, you’ll need to set the whole blog to private.
- Go to your blog settings.
- Check the box that says “Make this blog private.” Voilà! Your posts will be hidden from the public eye. Only you can peek behind the curtain!
If someone tries to look at your newly private blog, they’ll find themselves staring into an abyss of nothingness—much like the idea of closing social media for a week.
Posting Privately
Now, what if you still want to share your deep thoughts or questionable poetry, but you want them just for specific eyes? Well, Tumblr’s got your back with a nifty option while you create your posts. When you’re at the post creation screen, look out for that little drop-down menu next to the “Post” button. This menu includes an option that says “Post Privately.”
When you post something privately, only people who have the direct link can view it. So yes, your friend who can’t keep a secret isn’t going to blab about that cringe-worthy poem you wrote, as long as you keep the link to yourself!
Creating a Password-Protected Blog
If you want an even higher level of secrecy, creating a secondary blog is your best bet. Here’s how you can go full stealth mode:
- Create a new blog on your account.
- Choose to make this blog password protected.
- Share the password with anyone you trust, or keep it to yourself if you prefer that “I’m the only one with access” vibe.
This way, you can share content with select people but keep it away from the prying eyes (and dashboards) of strangers.
So whether you’re posting your secret theories, deep thoughts, or your thoughts on how cats rule the universe, Tumblr has the tools you need to keep your content cozy and private.
