6. You may also select a font from the Writing section to the right of your message.
As this topic is written, there are three font options: serif (left), handwriting (cen-
ter), and sans-serif (right).
7. Click the Send button to send your Fan Mail.
Upon clicking Send, you briefly see a Sent! alert on the screen before you're re-
turned to the page you were on before sending the message.
To discard your message and close the Fan Mail message window without sending,
click the Cancel button. If you don't see a Cancel button (which happens sometimes
when you click the blog icon as described in Step 1), click your browser's Back but-
ton.
Receiving Fan Mail
As soon as someone sends you a message, Fan Mail goes right to your Inbox. A Fan Mail
message looks like a regular post in your Inbox, but it has a lined-paper or parchment-
paper background. The message also shows the sender's avatar (profile photo) and
name. If you want, you can reply to the sender by clicking the little arrow icon at the
bottom of the message.
When you're finished reading your Fan Mail, you can leave it in your Inbox indefinitely,
or click the X at the bottom of the message to delete it.
At this time, Tumblr doesn't have any way for you to save or archive your Fan
Mail separately from the rest of your messages, but if that's a feature you think
you'd like, send the folks at Tumblr a quick note with your suggestion to sugges-
[e-mail] .
Attending Meetups
Remarkably, Tumblr users from all around the world are getting together to meet in per-
son at Meetups . A Meetup is a public event organized by a group of Tumblr users who
have shared interests.
You can find out if there are any upcoming scheduled Meetups near you on the Tumblr
website. If there aren't, you might want to consider organizing your own Tumblr Meetup.
Tumblr can even help you spread the word to people in your general geographic region.
