Reblogging is commenting - and it makes your blog an entry point into the conversation, and gives it a more public and permanent home than a comment thread on somebody else's blog.
- danso 14y agoRight...but I don't want to fill my blog with someone else's content just to comment on it...also, I don't think there's a way to comment on my own post, because it is technically reblogging my own post, which seems to be blocked. I may be missing the obvious reply feature here...but it's never been intuitive, which is exacerbated by the different interfaces presented by the dashboard and blog interface...not saying this is necessary a bad feature of Tumblr, but it's definitely an important quirk
- JulianMorrison 14y agoYou're not missing anything obvious. "Can't reblog yourself" is a typically tumblr annoying quirk. But you can reblog to reply in-thread to another person's reply. Tumblr teaches you to not care so much about what's on your blog as you would if it was a wordpress or something. Reblog away, everyone else is.
- omnivore 14y agoJust download Missing E or XKit. Both enable you to reblog yourself. XKit seems to have done a better job of keeping up with the tumblr changes, but I used Missing E for a while. Both get the job done.
