Tumblr is probably one of the most confusing websites I've ever visited. I know that you can add users and then see their content, but I have no idea what to do after that.
Well! Today is the day that we both learn how to use it!
First, a little background information on the creation of Tumblr. The creator is David Karp, and he created it in 2007 when he was 21-years-old. He decided to move to Japan to build on his computer skills when he was only 17-years-old, a decision that made his dream of building robots turn into building websites. He was ambitious, and because of it, he is now the proud owner of a popular and very successful company.
So for those of you who are wondering how to make it big, maybe Japan should be a place to go first.
And who wouldn't want to come up with such a cool blogging site? It's probably one of the most used sites to re-blog, which then turns into the most hilarious memes found on Facebook.
Example:
So this is basically what Tumblr is about. Either you write original posts or you re-blog other posts. There is a tab on the right hand where users can follow other blogs or explore "all of Tumblr." You can search for buzz words, shows, books, movies, etc. There's something for everyone and once you start scrolling, you'll never stop.
The average age range is between 18 to 29-years-old. The majority of users are female, but there is plenty for males to do on Tumblr as well.
If you are thinking of starting a blog on Tumblr, just know that there are estimated to be 550 million views each month and over 280 million blogs.
Whoa... that's a lot of re-blogging to do.
If this number seems daunting to the amateur writer, fear not! We still have the Writer Cafe and Amazon to explore.
Until then...
Keep writing!
