Somewhat out of boredom and a desire to look at shiny things, I seem to be using Tumblr a bit more, despite the fact that I find it frustrating to use. I have two Tumblrs: WomeninGlasses and Sashafeather.

How do I change which one is the default, so that when I reblog something it goes to SashaFeather first?

How do I get tags to automatically wrap?

How do I block things on Tumblr?

While I'm at it, how do I block people on Twitter? (It's none of you.)

For 3 out of 4 of these, you should install the x-kit extension to your browser and select those options. IT'S AMAZEBALLS.

For blocking "things," you can blacklist tags (and also whitelist, so like if you only care about one Avenger or something), & also block specific posts, like if everyone on your list keeps posting the same snowflake post or whatever.

Thanks! I think I'm not sure yet I want to be a "real" Tumblr user, but OTOH, I spent a few hours looking at it yesterday, so... probably time to fix it up so it's more usable.

Yeah - the time spent making it usable has made it worth it to me, but ymmv, of course.
I find the "post block" option so helpful for things that go viral. Even cute things, like this photoset of a lion cub playing in fall leaves - after 5 times it gets old - even moreso for things I find mildly offensive or etc.
