Absolutely, you can make that fabulous Tumblr post of yours stay prominently on top for all to see – and it’s surprisingly simple! Pinning posts is like giving their ego a little boost. If you want to highlight an original post or a reblogged masterpiece, this feature lets your top-notch content shine like it just walked off the red carpet.
To grasp this glittering gem of Tumblr functionality, navigate to your blog using a web browser. Once you’re there, feast your eyes on the posts that are just begging for the limelight. Find the post you want to elevate – it could be that sushi recipe gone viral or that meme that defined your entire week. Now, look for the three little dots in the format of the “meatballs menu” (yes, we know why they called it that, right?). It’s snugly placed in the upper right-hand corner of your post.
Give that menu a click and voilà! You’ll see the option to “Pin.” Just select it, and pulse! That post is now pinned at the top of your blog. It’s like giving it a gold star, a badge of honor, or a throne from which to reign over the lesser content beneath it.
Changed your mind? No problem! You can unpin anytime – just revisit the meatballs menu, and this time opt for the “Unpin” option. Like a true Tumblr ninja, you wield the power to control what your audience gets to see first!
Just remember, while pinning posts is a fabulous way to curate your showcase, don’t go overboard. Nobody likes a show-off! Keep it fresh and entertaining by switching up your pins now and then, so your blog remains a delightful tapestry of creativity. Now go forth and pin to your heart’s content! Your blog deserves to dazzle.
