Before we dive deeper into our guide on how to install cute Tumblr themes, let’s get started with the introduction of Tumblr.
Tumblr is a social media platform that allows users to create micro niche blogs known as tumblelogs. Tumblogs are basically charactered limited short blogs, where you can share anything from stories to tv shows, photos, links, videos, art, fashion and what not!
As of now, Tumblr hosts around 275 million different blogs. It’s more like a social media website where you can follow your friends and people of your choice and they can follow you.
Once you start following other blogs on Tumblr, you can view their new posts on your dashboard, reblog them and put comments on them. Well, the list of features of Tumblr doesn’t end here.
