help Tumblr FAQ

Is Tumblr built on Ghost CMS, or can I host a Tumblr blog myself?

Tumblr is a hosted blogging and social platform, not a decentralized Ghost CMS installation, so users do not self-host Tumblr blogs. Ghost is a separate open-source publishing system, while Tumblr was founded in 2007 and is operated by Automattic.

What is the difference between a Tumblr post and a reblog?

An original post is created on your blog, while a reblog copies an existing post to your blog and keeps the original attribution chain. Tumblr lets you add commentary, images, or GIFs when reblogging.

How many Tumblr tags are indexed in search?

Tumblr says only the first 30 tags on a post are indexed for tag search, and only the first 20 for in-blog search. Put the most specific tags first instead of assuming every tag has equal discovery value.

Can I use Tumblr on iPhone and Android?

Yes, Tumblr offers iOS and Android apps as well as a web dashboard. The iOS App Store lists the app as free with in-app purchases.
