Okay, I did it, I have a fandom tumblr. I don't know what to do with it. Pretend I am your ancient grandpa and I have spent the last decade playing records on vinyl and driving a car without auto locks. Tell me how to turn this thing on.

I am robotmango.tumblr.com. Who are you???

I am cleverly disguised there as misssara11 there. I really only reblog other people (which I am way behind on so my queue is going to last a couple of weeks the next time I set it up). I'd be happy to help if I can. I recommend going through people you know's Tumblr's and reblog from there or search tags. (FYI, if you start tagging yourself the traditional ship naming thing doesn't work well. So instead of searching "doctor/rose", instead try "doctor x rose".)

FOUND YOU FOUND YOU :DDD

I have been trying to add people whose names I recognize, so at least I know how to do that! The tag advice is very helpful, thank you.

Yaaaaaaaaay! I'm cavatine, and I just followed you. :D

I SEE YOU

XOXOXO

Also I post a lot of Teen Wolf. A LOT. I will understand if you don't want to deal with that all over your dash. XD Although I must say, install the browser extension Missing E ay ess ay pee and then get Tumblr Savior. They are both magical.

I want EVERYTHING YOU GOT. And who knows, I am looking for a new show. I am willing to accept suggestions, bribes, shiny pictures. Mostly the last one.

Ooh! What do those magical browser extensions do? I am curious. I have been adding a lot of things to Chrome lately because it is just so foreign and supernatural to me that you can, like, program your browser to do things or not do them. Futurism.

HAHA okay, I can do this. This I can do. Even if I end up looking like this. *gently knocks you out, hooks you up to a PASIV, and attempts to incept you with Teen Wolf*

Was that too creepy? That was too creepy.

ANYWAY (wow, slaphappy much?) Missing E is kind of a response to the fact that Tumblr's staff knows absolutely nothing about how to add customizations to a website that make it user-friendly and convenient. Missing E has a ton of options for how to basically hack Tumblr and make mo' better in every way. I think the site has a list of features.

Tumblr Savior allows you to filter out posts on your dash that contain the keywords you list. (It also has a white list.) It won't make the posts disappear completely, but it'll collapse them into little messages that say something like "this post contains this word, click here if you'd like to see it anyway" and you can expand it. I find it useful for filtering out wank and anything I'm just sick of, and a lot of people use it for triggers

I’m shaelascanlon. Unfortunately, I’m still trying to get the hang of tumblr myself, so I’m not sure how much help I’ll be.

[orange_crushed]

We will learn together!

I suggest reading one or two blogs at first. I like this one: http://becks28nz.tumblr.com/
I used it for a few months for news and fandom updates. Once you're comfortable with that add a few more blogs and soon enough you'll be scrolling miles like a pro :)

[intrikate88]

I'm intrikate88.tumblr.com! But I also reblog interesting music at grooveshortofarecord.tumblr.com, so follow that too. :)

[orange_crushed]

Got you. :D

Interesting music, yes, I want!
