Figure 1-1:
The Tumblr signup screen.
2. In the first two fields, enter a valid e-mail address and a password of your
choice.
3. In the URL field, enter a name for your blog.
The name can be anything you like, such as your name or a title that describes your
blog. If another member already has the blog name you want, keep trying new
names until you find one that is available. When selecting a name, keep in mind that
because hosting and storage are free to users, all new sites are created as subdo-
mains of the Tumblr website. This means that if you name your Tumblr account
“spoonobsession,” your Tumblr web address becomes
spoonobses-
sion.tumblr.com
.
You may change the URL of your Tumblr account at any time on your
Blog Settings page. In addition, you may delete unused accounts and create new
ones at any time.
4. After you've filled out all the fields on the signup screen, click the Start Posting!
button.
If you see the anti-spam CAPTCHA dialog box, enter the text you see onscreen in
the text field and click the I'm Human! button to proceed.
5. Next, check your e-mail.
