How to Share Facebook Posts on Tumblr

Tumblr is a popular microblogging and social networking platform that allows users to share various types of content, including text, photos, quotes, and videos. While it is primarily used to create original content, you can also share posts from other social media platforms, such as Facebook. If you come across a Facebook post that you find interesting and would like to share it on your Tumblr blog, here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it.

Please note that due to privacy settings and content restrictions, not all Facebook posts can be shared on Tumblr. Additionally, this tutorial assumes that you already have both a Facebook and a Tumblr account set up.

Steps to Share Facebook Posts on Tumblr

  1. Find the Facebook post you want to share: Log in to your Facebook account and navigate to the post you wish to share. This can be a post from a friend, a page you follow, or a public post. Ensure that the post is visible to others and not limited to specific privacy settings.

  2. Copy the Facebook post's URL: Right-click on the timestamp of the Facebook post and select "Copy link address" or "Copy link location" (the exact wording may vary depending on your browser). Alternatively, you can click on the timestamp to open the post in a new tab and copy the URL from the address bar.

  3. Open Tumblr: Launch your preferred web browser and go to tumblr.com.

  4. Sign in to your Tumblr account: If you are not already signed in, enter your email address (or username) and password in the respective fields and click "Log in".

  5. Create a new post: On your Tumblr dashboard, click on the "Text" icon (represented by a capital letter 'A') to create a new text post. This will open the post editor.

  6. Paste the copied Facebook post URL: In the post editor, click on the body of the post and press "Ctrl + V" (or right-click and select "Paste") to insert the copied Facebook post URL. Tumblr will automatically detect the URL and fetch the post details.

  7. Add any additional comments (optional): If you'd like, you can write a caption or add some commentary to provide context for the shared Facebook post. You can add text above or below the URL if needed.

  8. Customize the appearance (optional): Tumblr offers various formatting options for your text posts. You can change the font, size, color, add hyperlinks, and more using the editor's toolbar.

  9. Preview and edit (optional): Before publishing the post, it's a good idea to preview how it will appear on your Tumblr blog. Click the "Preview" button to view the post in the preview window. You can make any necessary edits or formatting adjustments if required.

  10. Publish the post: Once you're satisfied with the appearance and content, click the "Post" button to publish the shared Facebook post on your Tumblr blog. The post will now be visible to your Tumblr followers.

Congratulations! You have successfully shared a Facebook post on Tumblr. Remember, this method only captures the URL and text content of the post. If the original Facebook post contains photos or videos, they may not be included in the shared Tumblr post.
