TUMBLRA VERY SIMPLE

STEP-BY- STEP GUIDE TO CREATING AN ACCOUNT IN

(ON WINDOWS)

This is a typical

Windows 7 Desktop.

To start …

Next click on your internet browser. You can use any,

either

Internet Explorer

Chrome

Firefox

The default website will

come up, on this case it’s Google.

Please note that your initial

screen might be different.

No Worries.

Next is click on the

address bar.

Then type “www.tumblr.c

om”.And press “Enter”.

The “tumblr” screen will come up.

The background constantly

changes every time you

come to the site.

So, again no Worries.

If you scroll down, it will show what is

“tumblr” about and what it can

do.

This …

This …

This …

This …

And this …

Which brings us back to the initial screen.

Click on“Get Started”.

This screen will come up.Just fill-up the

required information.

First, type your Email address.

If you don’t have one, study my

other tutorial on how to create an email account.

Next, type your password

for this site. The password should be 8 characters

long.

Next, type your

Username.You can create

your own or you can

choose one of the suggested

names.

And then click “Sign up”.

This screen will come up.

So …

Type your age.

Tick on the box.

And then click “Next”.

This screen will come up.

Click on the box.

This is to check that somebody is really creating the

profile and not some automated

program.

I you’re lucky, you will get this

screen. Then you can click “Almost

Done”.

Then you can skip the next 2 slides.

Otherwise, go thru the next 2

slides.

Again, this is to check that

somebody is really creating the profile

and not some automated

program. Just follow the instructions on what it is asking

you to do.

So, we will select on the squares with street signs. And

…..

Like so … it will put a tick on the squares you have

selected. Once you’re done, click

“Verify”

Once Tumblr is satisfied that you are not a robot,

you will finally get this screen.

Click “Almost Done”

Congratulations!! You really are …..

almost done.

Take not of the “oval” shapes on top as well as the

“Select” bar.

You are now ask to select what you

want to follow. For example

“parenting”. So click on it.

Once you have selected a topic, you will asked for a sub-topic. On

this case, I selected “Babies”.

Also, I selected “Travel” with sub-topic “Vacation”.

As you noticed. The oval shapes on top are being

filled-up with your selection. So does the “Select” bar,

is slowly filling-up.

By the way, there are a lot more choices if you scroll down.

Like these … since I like

“Sports”, I will select that.

And I selected “Tennis”, like so …

and look the “Next” on top is now available.

So click it.

Finally. This is how the homepage will

look like.

A lot of things to explore.

But wait. You need to verify your email by checking your email click on the

link.

In case you didn’t received the email, you click the “Send

it Again”.

email (by clicking on it.
