How to Tumblr, part 2
So how are we all feeling about Tumblr so far? Let me know in the comments. Also, let me know what your Tumblr name is, so I can check you out!
Now that you’ve all established your own Tumblr and found interesting people to follow, we are going to cover reblogging, creating your own original entries, and customizing your Tumblr. Let’s start by having a look at the Tumblr dashboard:
I hope that by now many of you have realized how simple it is to reblog a Tumblr entry you’ve enjoyed and wanted to share or comment upon. If I wanted to reblog the top entry on my dashboard, I would simply scroll down until the bottom of the entry is visible, and click on the reblog tool in the bottom right hand corner – it looks like two arrows curved into a box shape and is right next to the heart (which lets you mark an entry as a favorite).

TUMBLR IS MY LIFE
It can be a lot of fun, yes? I'm enjoying it.
