Anonymous asked: hey, i have a question as a starting artist - i'm trying to post my art and add tags to it, but when i go to those tags, my art doesn't show up. i think it may have to do with the fact that i created my blog just yesterday. do you have any advice?

weird! I think tumblr may be goofing- certainly my art doesn’t show up in tags sometimes, but also I think it only shows in the first 5 tags you use? tumblr tags are bad, really. also I am so sorry welcome to this hellsite good luck

  7. thebardisabird said: That’s exactly why. I had that problem too when I first started. Give it a few more days and then post, you will show up.
