Settings:
Click the Blog Settings button on the sidebar to add a portrait photo to
the new account, as well as customize options for URL, Ask, Submissions, Face-
book, Twitter, Post by Email, RSS Feeds, Language, Timezone, Directory, and Pass-
word. For details on selecting your account settings, see Chapter 1.
Members:
To add new authors or contributors to a secondary or
multi-author
blog,
click the Members button on the Dashboard Sidebar. Enter the e-mail address of
the first person you'd like to invite as a blog contributor and click the Invite to
This Blog button. Repeat this process as needed to add members.
All blog members appear in a list on this page by profile photo and name. You can
remove members from this list by clicking the Leave This Blog button next to each
member's name.
Members may post as often as they like, but may not edit any of the
blog's settings unless they're promoted by you to an
admin
. Admins can do
everything that you can do, including removing members — and you— from the
blog. Admin status may not be revoked without deleting the entire blog, so pro-
mote members with caution. Also make sure to delete members with care: If you
delete the admin(s) along with all the other members, the entire blog will be re-
moved from your account.
You may create as many new linked blogs as you like. Each new blog will appear in the
Dashboard, giving you the freedom to move between them with ease.
Deleting blogs
To delete a primary blog along with any secondary blogs associated with the primary
ondary blog without altering the primary blog, click the Members button in the sidebar
and click the Leave This Blog button. Tumblr automatically deletes blogs when there are
no members or admins associated with it.
