Change Tumblr username - is that possible?
Do you have a Tumblr account and don't know if you can change your username? Find out how to do it.
How to change your Tumblr username
- Click on the small gear icon in the top right for 'Settings'. In the menu, the second item from the top is your 'username'.
- The username corresponds to your Tumblr URL. Here you can set up a new address including a new username for your photo blog.
- Do not click directly on your URL, this will only lead you to your blog.
- Instead, you have to point the mouse cursor to the right of the URL. There is a pale pencil symbol for editing (see photo). Click on this and then enter your new username.
- If the new name is already taken, there is now a hint. In this case, just try another name until it works.
- Warning: Since the Internet address of your photo blog also changes, old links to your page no longer work from now on.
