Q&A for How to Use Tumblr

If you're using the mobile app, the icon next to Home is the magnifying glass, which will allow you to search for something specific or browse trending hashtags, blogs, and other recommended posts. If you're using the website, the icon looks like a compass and brings up the "Recommended For You" page, which also lets you browse trending hashtags, blogs, and other recommended posts.

The general consensus is that there is no limit. No one has reported of reaching a limit as of yet.

You can if it has a comment icon near the reblog button. If not, then no.

It depends on the blog's settings. Some users allow anyone to read their Tumblr while others restrict blog viewing to approved followers.

Go to the post you want the image removed from, and click on the gear symbol in the lower right hand corner of the post. Select the "Delete" button from the menu that comes up, and click it.

There is a search button at the top right hand corner of the web page. It looks like a magnifying glass, which allows you to search what you are looking for.

For the mobile app: Go to your blog. In the top right hand corner there should be something that looks like a painter's palette; click on that. In the bottom right hand corner it should say "background." Click on that, choose a color, and save it.

If you're on your mobile device, you could double tap the post or click the heart icon next to the button.

Go to the little profile icon (in the right hand corner on the bottom if you have the app) and click on your profile, the one that says your username. Then go to the palette and you should be able to customize your background photo, profile picture, backdrop color and your bio.

Just follow who you want and go to your dashboard. That will show the posts/reblogs of the people you are following. There may be the occasional advertisement, but everything else should be from the blogs you follow.

Click the account icon on the top right of your dashboard and then click on "followers".

There is no limit.

If you're looking at a post, you'll notice that at the bottom right there's a 'notes' button. Click on that and you'll be able to see the comments (if there are any), as well as who liked and reblogged that comment.

While you may be able to in the future, you can't currently add them through the mobile app. To do so through the website, go to the settings area and create/select a secondary (you can't add to your primary) blog. Then, click the little person icon and click "members". You should be able to access a box where you type in someone's email.

You can click on your blog and go into the settings. There should be an on/off toggle button for your ask box there.

No, but they can choose to put a link for the recipe or put the recipe directly on the post.

Yes, you can have more than one blog linked to the same account. You have to click on the "Account" icon and then "New."

Yes. All of your blogs are linked to the same account. When you follow someone, they'll see your main blog (the first one created with your account) as a follower, but you can send messages/ask using your other blogs if you want.

The easiest way is to add /page/2000 at the end of blog address in address bar.

Highlight the text that you want to customize, and little options will appear to make it bold, italicized, etc. This only works on a PC, though.

Yes, simply click edit (which is typically in the bottom right corner) and click the tags section at the bottom where you can add, alter, or delete a tag. Also if you post multiple things with the same tag clicking on the tag will show you all your posts with that specific tag attached to it.

When you reblog someone else's post as usual, there will be a small camera icon at the bottom of the post. Click that to add a photo to your reblog.

You can try looking for their blog's name and check that way. Finding a specific blog is sometimes hard, but it gets easier when you have its specific name.

If you want to add to that post, reblog it and add your thoughts in the text box.

While sending someone an ask, you might have the option to ask a question anonymously. This means users without a Tumblr account can also ask questions. Just keep in mind that not all users accept anonymous questions. Also, you can already be anonymous as a whole if you never use your real name, post a photo of yourself, or anything else personally identifying you.

Who exactly are you sending the invite to? If those are just random strangers who don't know you, that's probably why nobody's on your blog. They most likely have no interest in your blog's content. Private blogs are personal and are meant to be shared with only close friends who enjoy each other's company. Only share the password with people you trust who are interested in seeing your private content.

No, not unless you post it in a public location such as your profile. You don't need a phone number to create a Tumblr account. Your email is invisible to other users.

Yes. You can create as many side blogs as you'd like. Many users have more than one blog.

You would view it the same way as any other website like YouTube. To play it, just click the triangle button to the left side within the video.

There are 2 ways of doing this. One way is to send them a message from their "Ask" page on their blog. The downside to asks is that not everyone has them enabled. Another way to chat with someone is the smiley face icon on the top right; you can simply type their blog name and have a conversation with them.
