Exploring the Wire
At the top of the Explore page, you'll see a grid of 18 boxes, which Tumblr calls the
Wire.
Each box represents a popular search category that you might be interested in explor-
ing, such as Architecture or Food. Inside each square, you'll see a static or animated pic-
ture or quote pulled from a Tumblr post related to that category. In addition, each box
includes a tag in the bottom-left corner that identifies the category the post belongs in
(refer to Figure 8-3).
If you happen to look at the page for more than a minute or two, you'll notice that each
row shifts slightly to the right, revealing a new square. This feature helps keep the con-
tent in the Wire fresh, exposing you to new ideas and information.
To view the posts associated with any category in the Wire, click the square that in-
terests you. From there, you'll be transferred to your Dashboard where you can explore
a listing of related posts.
