How to Become Tumblr Famous

I found a great "7 Steps to Become Tumblr Famous" tutorial on Wikihow.

http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Tumblr-Famous

It covers some basics, I will add a few more specific suggestions though.

 


One of the most popular/reblogged types of images is a photo with a humorous/inspirational quote pasted on it, often times in all-capital block letters.  These are quick and easy to make.  Just go on Deviant art, or use Google image search to find a thoughtful/artsy looking photo (nature, a couple, etc.) and use Photoshop or MsPaint to paste your quote/lyrics.

Also don't forget to tastefully include your Tumblr name/address on it somewhere so even if your image gets "stolen" and re-uploaded others will still see your name.

Stylistically, many of the most popular images of these types use a dark "vignette" around the edges of the photo, and white block letters in a sans-seriff font often with a drop shadow.
