Asks
When replying to questions, you can reply privately instead of posting the answer to your blog. Future replies will stay private until you update your preferences and switch to public, and vice versa.
Posting
Once you post to a blog, all future posts will post to that blog until you switch while making a post. To switch, tap on the blog’s name to show a list of the other blogs on your account. Then tap on the blog name where you’d like the post to publish. If you have multiple blogs, be sure to select the right blog before pressing “Post.”
