Tumblr is fast becoming one of the hottest communities on the web, having grown exponentially in the past year. But it’s not just for angsty teenagers. Although there are many of those, it’s also a great way to display blog posts visually and connect to like-minded people. Most of the best Tumblrs stick to their topic religiously, sticking to great photos, video and pithy quotes only so that audiences don’t get bored. Occasionally, a great Tumblr will also include longish essays in posts too, but that’s a less popular option.
Here are some great Tumblrs to get you thinking, laughing and loving life. If you’ve never tried Tumblr, it’s very easy to get set up. Check out our basic Tumblr guide and maybe a few advanced Tumblr tips to get yourself started. Then, come back and see some of the excellent Tumblrs you should follow to keep your dashboard interesting.
