sociallyanomalous asked: I'm new to tumblr, and I'm wondering, just in general, what are things to do and not to do? Just in a quick summary.

  • Reblog rather than repost. People really hate it when credit isn’t given, or when their notes are taken by someone who reposts.
  • If you want to communicate with your followers, turn on replies & your ask box! (both in settings) In my experience, people really enjoy blogs where the creator interacts with people rather than being a faceless poster.
  • Don’t demand follow backs, or tag/add to all of your posts “follow me!” It’s pretty annoying.
