July 2012
I've added a body armor/body chains tag to my blog. I'll be looking for more DIYs with tutorials to post.
Or for people who just want to click through: truebluemeandyou.tumblr.com/tagged/body-armor
People who are posting DIYs - please link to the actual post (otherwise you look lazy and your readers will become quickly annoyed). Also, make sure it is a DIY with a tutorial (especially if your post says there is one). Lots of bloggers have DIYs in outfit posts, but don't post the DIY. Won't call out the blog doing this, but am seeing tons of my posts (that had sources when I posted the DIY) coming around again in a bad way.
This is why I stepped down as editor. Well I’ve tried three times now to step down as editor - emailing Tumblr support and all. To put it in perspective I click on a link to check it out to see if it meets Tumblr’s guidelines to feature it. Then I get a vague link where someone has posted something from Craftgawker, Pinterest or a site’s link to ALL their tutorials (meaning they never really looked at the DIY). Then I find the DIY and I see it being worn in an outfit post with no tutorial attached to it. But you have to multiply this by dozens and dozens of times for an editor who is looking for things to feature.
