Asking questions on Tumblr; and a question about Tumblr.


Question Posted Sunday August 21 2011, 5:58 pm

I've been asking people questions on Tumblr, but only a few of them get answered. Then I saw that one I had asked a week ago (to a person that blogs EVERYDAY) had JUST been answered. How long does it usually take for questions to be received?

ALSO, how can you tell if someone has blocked you on there? Will their blog still show up on the dashboard?

If you've been blocked on Tumblr you won't see the persons posts on your dash if you're following them, but you can still view their page.

As for the messages, there are a number of senarios.

1) Some Tumblrs have an extremely large amount of followers (20,000, 30,000), and therefore get hunderds of questions a day. Which would explain why it took so long to answer yours.

2) Some people simpley don't like/care for the message/question function on Tumblr. And instead of just turning it off, they ignore the inboxes untill they're in the mood to answer them. Or just ignore them completely.

3) Somebody could also ignore your question if it's one they get asked daily. If this is the case, usually the person who runs the blog will have an FAQ page linked on their account.

Questions on Tumblr are received in the inbox as soon as you send one.
