Link Tumblr to Twitter

Do you have both Tumblr and Twitter accounts? Why not try syncing your Tumblr to Twitter, so that all of your Tumblr posts are automatically tweeted? Read on to find out how to link Tumblr to Twitter!

Steps

  1. Create an account if you don't already have one. Go to https://tumblr.com and log in, or create an account.
  2. Go to your tumblelog. Once you have logged in, the link to this should be displayed at the top of the page to the right of the page, under the title of your Tumblr.
  3. Select "Settings" from the menu on the right of the page.
  4. Once you get to "Settings," click on your Tumblr page on the left tab. This will open a page where you can customise your posts, language, time zone, URL and RSS and social networking feeds, including Twitter.
  5. Select "Sign in with Twitter" from this menu. This will open a new webpage where you can put in the details of your Twitter account.
  6. Put in your Twitter account details on this page. Then click "Allow" to allow the Tumblr application to connect to your Twitter account.
  7. Set your preferences (optional). After clicking "Allow" the webpage should close and your Twitter user name should show up on the "Services" menu. If you want every post you make to automatically go to Twitter, make sure to check the box labelled "Share posts on your Twitter".

Tips

  • Although this setting automatically tweets all of your Tumblr posts, you can toggle it for specific Tumblr posts if you don't want them to show up on Twitter. When making a new Tumblr post, simply uncheck the box labeled "Send to Twitter."
  • If you only want to send occasional posts to Twitter, you can leave the "Send my Tumblr posts to Twitter" box unchecked, and click on "Send to Twitter" when making the posts that you "do" want to share.
  • If you accidentally sent a Tumblr post to Twitter that you didn't mean to, you can always just delete the tweet!

Warnings

  • Don't reblog/post things too much. It can be very annoying and you will lose Twitter followers.
