There are two ways you can reblog a post from another blog:
Reblogging from the Dashboard:
To reblog a post that appears on your Dash-
board, click the Reblog icon at the top of the post (refer to Figure 6-2). Doing so
opens the post in editing mode; there you can modify the caption, update the tags,
or edit any other feature before you publish it on your own blog by clicking the
Reblog Post button. To cancel the reblog before publishing, click the Cancel but-
ton.
Reblogging from a blog:
To reblog a post directly from another person's blog, click
the Reblog link, which is typically located at the top of the page. If you don't see
the Reblog link, try clicking the blog post or blog title first. Sometimes, depending
on how the theme is set up to display posts, you have to select the post by click-
ing it before you can access the reblog feature.
As with reblogging from within your Dashboard, clicking the Reblog button from
within another blog will open the post in your Dashboard in editing mode. From
there, you can modify the caption, update the tags, or edit any other feature be-
fore publishing it by clicking the Reblog Post button. Or, to cancel the reblog
without publishing it, click the Cancel button.
After you reblog a post, a reblog note is added to the original post with a link back
to your blog.
After you have liked and/or reblogged at least nine other posts, you (and only
you) can view your nine most popular Tumblr
crushes
on your Following page at
www.tumblr.com/following
. No, we're not talking the online equivalent of
high school (not exactly, anyway): A
crush
is one of the nine blogs that you've
most liked or most reblogged. This area, shown in Figure 6-6, is constantly up-
dated to reflect your personal Tumblr activity.
