Besides Blazing your own posts, you can Blaze each other’s posts: You’ll be able to scroll through your dash and see a post that tickles you, and then make thousands of complete strangers see that post also.
This is for fun, but you still remain in charge of your stuff.
Available Settings
- Blog-level settings: All blogs will be be able to have posts Blazed by default in your blog settings. We’re giving you this heads-up so you can toggle Blaze off on any blog you don’t want people to Blaze posts from (quick link for web). Remember to do so for any secondaries you might want to keep Blaze-free.
- Post-level settings: These override your blog-level Blaze settings. You can enable Blaze in the post editor—before or after posting—via the cog (web) or the meatball menu (mobile), regardless of your blog’s Blaze settings. Any posts you previously disabled reblogs on will remain unsharable via Blaze. Unless, of course, you edit the post to enable Blaze.
What To Know
- Real humans moderate all posts being Blazed before they go out. If something’s fishy or seems like it might be harmful, it will be rejected or extinguished.
- When someone Blazes your post, you will receive an email, push notification, and/or activity item (depending on your settings).
- You can cancel the Blazing of your post before it happens—or extinguish a post that is already Blazed—either by responding to the aforementioned notification, or via the “Active” tab in your Blaze interface.
- We will only accept posts that comply with our community guidelines and global advertising guidelines.
