In this third part of the article-guide i analyze the Tumblr<\/a> service.<\/p>\n

Once you have done the fast registration filling e-mail, password and URL (the site address) you can just start to post.<\/p>\n


\nThe dashboard is simple, clean and easy (pic1<\/strong>).
\nHere you can choose an avatar and set various other important options: change URL address of the site, give permission to replies, give readers to ask you questions \/ contribute with their own posts, enable post share on Facebook and Twitter, post via e-mail, setup options for rss, choose language and time zone, allows indexing for search engines, set the site as Not safe for work.<\/p>\n

You can choose what to post based by the kind of content.<\/p>\n

Tumblr has great social features:<\/p>\n

– you can follow other blogs, their posts will appear automatically in your dashboard (pic2<\/strong>)
\n– you can “reblog” posts, for who knows Twitter it’s equal to a retweet (pic3<\/strong>)
\n– you can like the posts (heart icon)<\/p>\n

Click on “Untitled” you can choose the content of the post: text (pic4<\/strong>), pic (pic5<\/strong>), quote (pic6<\/strong>), link (pic7<\/strong>), chat (pio8<\/strong>), audio (pic9<\/strong>), video (pic10<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Ok for example we assume to write a text post. Insert the title, then the content, optionally the tags and publish it.
\nNaturally you can edit\/delete it everytime you want. Open the frontend address http:\/\/yourblog.tumblr.com and it looks like in the pic (pic11<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

You can customize various aspects of the blog (pic12<\/strong>).
\nHere you can modify blog title instead of the anonymous “Untitled”, choose a theme: there are many, both free and premium; if you are skilled you can also make a custom theme by editing directly the HTML code.
\nBy changing the theme it will affect on the graphic and layout.
\nYou can make a customization of the theme by choosing the colors and fonts, images for header and background, add pages.<\/p>\n

This is Tumblr in short, a simple and effective service to publish and share various kind of content.<\/p>\n

In the fourth and last part i will analyze Blogger the blog service by Google.<\/p>\n
