It’s simple for readers to like, reblog, or link to your posts, with icons underneath each post.

About Me Box

Tell people about yourself with a beautifully designed “About Me” box, and add your own profile picture, description / biography, and links to your social media profiles.

Let them get to know the person behind the story!

Destination Menu

Use Tumblr’s tags to feature different destinations that you’ve visited, and have these appear in a “Destinations” sidebar on your blog. Perfect for easily keeping track of where you’ve visited (or where you’d like to go!)

It gives people a quick and simple way to keep track of where you’ve been, and take a peek a specific locations.

Instagram, Flickr, Dribbble, and Twitter Widgets

Wayfarer supports overlay widgets for showing your photos and designs from other places — Instagram, Dribbble, or Flickr, or thoughts and links from Twitter.

Social buttons let people follow your adventures on your various social media channels — we support dozens of different icons and networks (and we’re always adding more!)

Sharing and Likes

With one click, visitors can share your content across different social channels: Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Google+. This is in addition to all the usual Tumblr features, allowing people to like and reblog your portfolio of work. Don’t let your incredible content go unnoticed!

You can also feature the other Tumblr blogs you follow in the sidebar, and posts that you’ve liked from other blogs and locations. A great way to share the love!
