So, you’ve fallen head over heels for your secondary Tumblr blog, and now you’re thinking, “Why can’t this beauty be my primary blog?!” Cue the dramatic music—because I’m here to tell you that, as of now, you can’t just swap a secondary blog into a primary blog directly. Oh, the heart-wrenching tragedy of the digital age!
Let’s spill the tea on what this really means. On Tumblr, your blogging structure follows a hierarchy. Your primary blog is where all the magic happens—the one linked to your account. You enjoy all the perks and the spotlight there. Meanwhile, secondary blogs exist in the shadows, unable to bask in the same glory. Sadly, this isn’t a Shakespearean comedy where love conquers all; it’s all rather restrictive.
Now, if you’re dreaming of merging your blog kingdoms, hold your horse! You can’t combine or link two existing accounts. Picture it: You can’t just waltz into the Tumblr kingdom and demand a blog exchange; the Tumblr gods don’t take requests like that. And if you thought you could simply import all that glorious content from one blog to another? Nope! Not happening, my friend.
Of course, you can create shared Group blogs, which is like the high-school musical of the blogging world where everyone sings together. But if you’re attached to your secondary blog and cling to it like a toddler with a favorite stuffed animal, you might have to embrace your secondary status.
Maybe change is afoot in the future—who knows, right? Until then, embrace your secondary blog’s quirks, and make it shine! Create, engage, and evolve, but know that it’s going to remain in the role it was born to play. So, keep creating!
