  • My Tumblr Domain is Working Fully!

    If you’ve been following my comments about my experience moving my domain name from Google Domains to Tumblr Domains, you will recall that I’ve had some hiccups along the way. I am happy to report that everything is working fully now, and I couldn’t be happier.

    I hope Tumblr Support sees this. I would like to thank them for working with me on getting things worked out. Everyone was professional, friendly, and got responses back to me in a timely manner. Even when they told me it would be a few days to work out an issue, they had it resolved in only a day. Hopefully, I am done bothering them, and I can just enjoy my blogging.

    I really hope that finding some of the stuff I did in setting my stuff up will help make the experience smoother for others that wish to get a domain name through Tumblr. I think it is a great way to run a Tumblr site, which is why I chose to go that route.

  • I’m happy to say that after a few hiccups with the Tumblr Domains thing, Tumblr Support has been very helpful in getting me up and running with transferring my domain over. They were even able to get the verification thing worked out, so my domain won’t be blocked for not verifying.

    My next step is working on getting my email provider to connect to the domain since Tumblr doesn’t do email with the domain stuff. Just FYI for anyone interested in having a Tumblr Domain where you want to use email. I’m planning on using Protonmail’s custom domain option to handle email for my domain. However, I can’t seem to enter the DNS records I need to make it work at the moment. Once I have a fourth DNS record setup, I can’t add anymore. Anyone else seeing this that also have a domain hosted by Tumblr??

    I’ve reached out to Tumblr Support again for help. We shall see how this goes. I’m optimistic there is still just a few weird things happening on their end with this new feature.
