This seems to be one of the silliest, yet easiest to fix limitations on Tumblr.  Turns out to be that you can’t follow other people’s Tumblr blogs from your secondary Tumblr blog.  This has been confirmed to be true by an Tumblr employee.

I guess that if you are considering to have niche Tumblrs you’d better open a different account for each, you can’t be expected to follow a religious blog from a weapons specialized tumblelog.

The thing gets even more serious if you consider that you can’t set up group Tumblr blogs as your main Tumblelog.  Meaning that one of the main Tumblr functionalities, meaning following !, is unavailable to multiusers.

Tumblr has an e-mail post publishing system, but it goes a bit further in its complexity, allowing you to send different types of posts, not just a text post.  Photos, links, quotes and music is a possibility without you logging in to your Tumblr account.

If you want to include  rich text formatting, it is possible by using Markdown syntax, that I leave up to you to read and learn.

Unfortunately, features like publish on, or queue, are not available when using email as to publish a post.

Among the several publishing options in Tumblr, one of them is called “add to queue”.  It basically allows you to keep your post frequency consistent over a period of time keeping your own tumblelog alive while your away, meaning is automatic (but notice this is different from tumblr publish on feature).  One of the advantages of this option is that if you are really busy during the week (or during the day) to enter your Tumblr account and post at a particular time you can just pile up several posts  or just enter daily at any time given time creating one post for the queue and then you are gone.  The important thing here is that you make sure you never run out of queued posts!.

The important thing here is that you make sure you configure one (or both) of the options in the Tumblr queue. And even though there’s the usual complaint tumblr queue is not working, or not posting, or doing it at the wrong time, it’s simply something not related to your account, but only to Tumblr’s own fault, it’s not like adding a scroll to top button to tumblr.
