Editing Preferences
In Chapter 1, you discovered how to set your account preferences when you created
your primary blog. You may edit your preferences at any time by clicking the round
spoked-gear-shaped Preferences icon on the Dashboard menu.
From the Preferences page, you may edit your primary e-mail address, password, post-
editing mode, Dashboard options, language, and e-mail-notification settings; if neces-
sary, you can also block users and delete your account. For details about any of these
options, see Chapter 1.
Logging In and Out
After you've created your primary Tumblr account (and possibly additional secondary
accounts), you may log in and out of Tumblr at any time from any computer or web-en-
abled device.
To protect your account and keep your blog safe, be sure to look for the green
“Tumblr, Inc.” emblem to the left or right of your Address bar in your browser win-
dow, as shown in Figure 4-5. The exact location of the green emblem depends on
your browser. If you see it, you can safely log in. If you don't see it, do not enter
your account information. Without that emblem, someone could use a fake form
to steal your password.
