In-Depth Information
After you've discovered a Tumblr blog you're interested in following, becoming a follow-
er is as simple as clicking the Follow button, which is usually located at the top- or
bottom-right side of the Tumblr blog's theme, as shown in Figure 6-1. You can track the
posts of the site you're following through your Tumblr Dashboard.

Click the Follow button to follow a blog.
Viewing posts from blogs you're following
Posts from the Tumblr blogs you're following, as well as your own posts and any posts
you've reblogged, are listed in the Dashboard area. At the top of each post, you'll see
post details such as reblog information (who reblogged it from where), a note count (de-
scribed in the next section), a link to reblog the post, and a heart icon to
like
the post
(see Figure 6-2). (For more on the Like feature, see “Liking Posts,” later in this chapter.)
You can tell how many blogs you're following by looking at the Following button on the
Dashboard sidebar. Click the Following button to view the Following page at
www.tumblr.com/following
to add and remove people from that list.
