OK maybe I'm a bit dim, but I can't quite get the hang of Tumblr. I made myself an account. But I don't know....
Is the dashboard like your LJ friends page? I don't know, I feel like I'm missing things.
I know this is kind of vague but does anybody have any tumblr tips, advice, etc. I'd appreciate it greatly.

It certainly takes some time to become fun, because you need to follow lots of people.. because, yes, the dashboard is like your friends-page. It shows the things the ppl you follow post. So if you only follow like 5 ppl your dashboard will be rather empty. ;) To decide who to follow you could, for example, search for certain topics.. on the right side you have this 'search tags' - field.. so if you wanna see pics of a certain actor or musician or whatever you just write down his name.. and then you'll see all the pics of him that have been posted. Ever. lol Well then you can reblog stuff.. so you have it on your own page/journal. Or just 'like' it (the heart) and you kinda put it in your memories. Well and if you post something make sure to tag your post. With all the relevant stuff. Name of the person and, idk, movie he's in or whatever. So ppl will find it when looking for this person. So then those ppl see what you like and if they like the same stuff they might reblog it from you and then their followers reblog it and.. they ( ... )

Thanks so much. This really helped a lot. especially the search box. I guess I just have to keep playing with it. Thanks again.

No problem. :)
Glad I could help...
It does take a while to figure it all out... and it definitely gets better the longer you're there and the more people you follow etc... :)

The dashboard is a bit like LJ's friends page. The posts that show are from tumblrs that you follow. You can reblog stuff without following the account.

You can post stuff like links, mp3's, videos, photos. Mine is walkingindaydreams.

Cool. Thanks. I think I have to get the hang of it before I post anything or comment. Thanks for your help.
