About

Tumblr is so easy to use that it’s hard to explain. We made it really, really simple for people to make a blog and put whatever they want on it. Stories, photos, GIFs, TV shows, links, quips, dumb jokes, smart jokes, Spotify tracks, mp3s, videos, fashion, art, deep stuff. Tumblr is 511 million different blogs, filled with literally whatever. Turns out that when you make it easy to create interesting things, that’s exactly what people do. All those great, random blogs your friends send you, those are Tumblr blogs. We’ll help you find and follow blogs like that, and we’ll help other people find and follow yours. Once you follow a blog, all of its posts show up in your dashboard, just like you’d expect. See something great? Reblog it to your own blog. Add commentary if you like. Make it your own. Other people will do the same to your posts. That’s how you meet people here.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Blogger is simple, and brings back a lot of good memories for me. It hasn't changed much, so it's easy to come back to. It's best for just plain blogging more than anything else, and that's exactly what I like about it.

Cons

  • Not changing much can also be seen as a negative. Younger people will probably see it as outdated. It doesn't look as polished as other blogging platforms out right now and it doesn't have the high customization and community of Wordpress to make up for that either.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • You can have your blog up and running, and decent looking, well under an hour even without looking through the paid theme options. Tumblr lets you post anything from just pretty pictures to lengthy blog posts. Posts can be public, password protected, or entirely private, which makes it great to keep as a personal diary. Tags help organize your content and help you find other people's content.

Cons

  • Not really optimal for businesses and audience engagement compared to other platforms out there. If you're only posting images, Instagram would probably get more eyes on your photos. Wordpress offers far more customization than Tumblr if you want a more classic blog. If you're not using a premade theme, customizing your Tumblr blog can be a chore because it doesn't work the way you'd expect. There's a lot of garbage content on the site as well, and finding anything or standing out is an uphill battle.
