Thanks Jayashree. I created it myself! I do see your recipes every now and then as well as posts from the Firepole Marketing Scavengers. So I guess we are all still there in our own way. 🙂

You can do both Roslyn. Normally I share my blog post on Tumblr from the share button on my website and then because it is only the link that is shown with the title, I add a few words as well as an image and hashtags. Tumblr actually suggests popular hashtags to use when you start typing.

You can also go into Tumblr and post the link using their link button and following the same procedure.

You can also post upto 10 images with the post. I recommend playing around a little on that site. Some bloggers who have established websites actually use Tumblr to post content that might not fit in with their main blog but is creative and leads back to them with a link to their main website. Have a shot!

Delighted to have provided helpful explanations, Roslyn. Tumblr is different from the other social media platforms and provides DoFollow links but I wouldn’t use it the way we use LinkedIn to republish our blog content as it can result in Google penalties since the set up is different and their blog is a real blog. A lot depends upon your goal for using Tumblr and how you intend to use it to bring traffic back to your website. The way some of my colleagues and I use it is to share a link to our blog post when we publish it and to share content that is visual and interesting. I’ve seen my posts loved and reblogged which is my goal for using Tumblr.

Awesome Kimberly! Do come back and share your profile and experience with me.

Hopefully this post on Tumblr has provided information as your starting point for research, Tamuria. Indeed Tumblr is a great way to get your brand recognised and discover a new audience.
