## Connect Tumblr

1. Open Accounts in 1Post and choose Connect.
2. Pick Tumblr.
3. Sign in with Tumblr and approve access for the blog you want to post to.
4. Choose the blog in 1Post. It is ready to pick in the composer.

## Before it goes out

The composer shows Tumblr's preview beside the others, counts the text the way Tumblr does, and lists anything the network would refuse, such as a file that is too large. Fix it in the composer and the post stays in your queue.
