Hello, Tumblr. This is a badges update.
You may have noticed that we’ve launched a set of badges you can earn for your blogs through your actions on Tumblr—like the Top Poster Club, the Blazer, and the Generous Citizen. You’ll automatically earn (and be able to choose to display) these badges. If you’ve earned a badge, you’ll see it bubble up in the lower left corner of your dash:
You can now also display different purchased and earned badges in one row next to your blog name, in whatever order you like. Pick which order you like them in. Mix and match with your checkmarks. Or wear all your bling at once. Your call!
Here’s what that looks like:
And here’s how it works:
- To manage your badges on web, click the account icon, select a blog from the drop-down, and click “Blog Settings” from the menu. Click on the little pencil under your blog name to add, edit, or hide badges and checkmarks.
- On mobile, head to your blog, click on the little paint palette in the top right corner, and you’ll see the little pencil icon under your blog name. Click on the little pencil under your blog name to add, edit, or hide badges and checkmarks.
- Watch as they magically appear next to your username on the dash and your blog view.
- You can always choose not to show any badges—simply unselect them in the very same “Badges” view in your settings.
- It’s worth noting that some of the badges you can earn will only work on your primary, like the Generous Citizen, because you can only gift from your primary.
- To purchase a badge, head to the Tumblrmart icon and select “Badges” from the menu at the top.
There you go. Now everyone can see who you are on Tumblr! At a glance! Nifty.
