How to Send an Ask on Tumblr from a Second Blog
Oh, the enigma of sending an ask on Tumblr from a second blog—it’s like trying to open a pickle jar without any hands! But don’t worry, I’m here to unpick this puzzle for you with an easy-peasy guide. So grab your phone, or maybe your desktop if you’re feeling fancy, and let’s dive in!
If you’re on your phone, simply go to “instant messaging”. Guess what? Your blog name pops up at the top with a cute little arrow next to it! Just tap that arrow, and voilà, you can select which blog you’d like to send your ask from! Easy as pie, right?
By the way, I’ve had my fair share of struggles with this, and I’m pretty sure you’re not alone. So if someone is going through your sideblog, they won’t easily be able to connect it back to your main blog unless you drop hints by reblogging or linking back. So, you can breathe easy about your blog secret identity!
Can People See That Your Sideblogs are Yours?
Ah, the million-dollar question! So here’s the scoop: people might get a whiff of your sideblogs being connected to your main blog. There’s this fun feature you can toggle called “Show author portraits”. It’s exclusive to sideblogs and, when enabled, displays your main blog’s profile picture with each post. If you don’t want the world to know that your sideblog is really just your alter ego, just turn that pesky feature off!
Making Your Tumblr Experience Private
If you’re like me (aka a privacy ninja), you can set some boundaries. A tour of the Tumblr desktop option will unlock these fabulous features:
- Disable “Share posts you like” in your main account settings.
- Disable “Share the Tumblrs you’re following” in your main account settings.
- Enable “Hide [account name] from people without an account” in both your main and side account settings.
- Enable “Discourage searching of [account name]” in both account settings.
For those who really want to keep things under wraps, there’s an option to block certain individuals on your sideblog. Just head over to the sideblog’s settings on desktop mode, find “blocked tumblrs,” and enter their URL or name. Voilà! You’re all set—and they still can’t sniff around your main blog.
