athingofvikings Okay. So, giving a quick tour for the newbies.
On your main page, you have Recent Entries to your own journal, archive of your journal, reading page (like the Tumblr dash), your tags, memories (other posts that you've favorited), and profile, which shows interests, people following you, people you follow, mutuals, communities, and other such details.
For posting purposes, use the rich text editor; here's the toolbar from right to left:
You've got your standard text modifiers, hyperlinks, blog links (usingheathenvampires as an example), then image and media links (both have to be hosted elsewhere, which will probably be the one thing that dissuades Tumblr aficionados from migrating here en masse), polls (paid/plus feature), and Read More cuts
Which put a certain portion of text under a Cut that you can define and then the readers can access but won't see by default. And, if I recall correctly, you can also have text after the Read More
Then there's more of the usual formatting options and undo/redo.
Then, at the bottom, you have (all optional), post tags, mood, location, music, and commenting policy for the specific post, followed by a preview, and who can view it (everyone, just people you've given access to, or just yourself).
