Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- A Tumblr account (email or Google/Apple sign-in)
- Content must follow Tumblr's community policy
Prepare before opening the form
- Email address or Google/Apple credentials
- Username/blog name and avatar/header assets
- A post introducing the product with the product URL
Workflow
- Open tumblr.com/register and sign up (email, Google, or Apple)
- Name the blog (creates <name>.tumblr.com)
- Customize the blog appearance minimally (avatar, title, description with product link)
- Publish a post announcing/linking to the product, tagged appropriately
- Verify the blog renders publicly while logged out
Watch for
- Tumblr is a social blogging community, not a directory — reach depends on tags/reblogs, not listing pages
- New accounts posting nothing but outbound product links read as spam; a real post with context performs better
- The register page rendered only the OAuth buttons in fetched HTML — email-signup field behavior not verified
What counts as live
The blog is publicly reachable at <name>.tumblr.com and the product post is visible to logged-out visitors
Not verified
- Whether outbound post links are dofollow
- Any new-account restrictions (rate limits, link filters) not visible on the registration page
