How do i Tumblr?

I love Tumblr, but seriously, its functionality has been a constant source of frustration. I spent the first two months unable to scroll down my dashboard, access messages or see if I had followers. (Switching to Firefox was the answer.) I used to get reblog notifications, but they stopped. Sometimes I get new follower notifications, but not

My two Tumblrs are completely separate accounts, with separate log-in info. If you set Firefox to remember the log-in info for both accounts it's not to much trouble, and you can log in with a few clicks instead of typing it all out. The "additional blog" stuff confused me so I didn't even bother.

I get new follower notification emails for one account and not the other, even though I haven't changed the setting on either. The emails just stopped coming one day. :\

Thanks. I almost wrote to you directly but decided to rant publicly :)

Yeah, remembered log-in info; I hadn't thought of that. Ha, and after reading all that additional blog description, I really can't see what the point of one is.

Ah Tumblr - you and your inconsistencies!

I still don't really use Tumblr, for the reasons you listed and the overall fact that it's so hard to use. It's great for sharing images, I can't deny that; it's just incomprehensible for me to do anything except browse. :-/

I know I'm not alone in the Tumblr frustrations department. It seems like such a simple blogging concept, it's a wonder it doesn't WORK.

It looks like it ought to work, too! I think that's what makes it even worse, because it just defies how one thinks it ought to be. xP
