Adding Tumblr share buttons to a non-Tumblr site
Tumblr is a highly interactive blogging platform where users are encouraged to follow
one another based on friendships and similar interests. In addition to following the blogs
that interest you, you can
like
(that is, click an option that says you like) individual posts
and reblog the posts that you want to share with your blog's followers. What's more, if
you happen to have a non-Tumblr site, you can promote that content to Tumblr users by
adding Tumblr share buttons to your pages. This chapter is designed to show you what
you need to know about following and followers, as well as liking posts, reblogging posts,
and promoting content outside of Tumblr to Tumblr users.
Following Other Blogs
One of the ways you can interact with others on Tumblr is to
follow
(subscribe to) the
blogs that interest you. In fact, anyone who has a Tumblr account can follow as many
Tumblr blogs as they like. That means you can follow others and others can follow you
until the cows come home. Finding blogs to follow (see Chapter 8 for tips) is a fun and
fascinating way to explore your interests.
