In-Depth Information
After a visitor submits a post to your site, a message appears in your Inbox, and you can
choose whether to publish, ignore, or delete the submission as you see fit.
Incoming submissions, like those shown in Figure 7-7, appear on your Messages page as
individual unpublished posts. Each post includes the submitter's name and Tumblr ac-
count portrait photo. To check out the submitter's Tumblr blog, click the name or pro-
file photo associated with the submission. You can return to the Messages page by click-
ing your browser's Back button.
Figure 7-7:
Submissions appear in your Dashboard Inbox as unpublished posts that only you can see.
Incoming submissions can be queued, published, blocked, ignored, edited, or deleted:
Queue submissions:
To put a submission directly into your Queue for automatic
publishing, click the Queue link at the top of the post.
Publish submissions:
To convert an unpublished submission into a published post
on your blog, click the Publish link.
Block submissions:
To block a person from sending you additional submissions,
click the post's Block link. You can unblock a sender, if needed, on the Block
Ignore submissions:
While not the best netiquette, you can choose to ignore a
message by simply leaving it in your Inbox indefinitely or deleting it without re-
sponding to the sender.
