FYI @ Everyone
If you don’t show up when people @ you on tumblr, it may be because you are, in old slang, “invisible to spiders” – google and other search engines are instructed not to index you, but this means tumblr can’t find you either even though you are…on their…site. Tumblr! *jazz hands*
SO the way to fix this and make yourself @ able is:
Go to Settings, click on your primary journal on the right-hand side, and scroll down to the bottom. Make sure “Allow this blog to appear in search results” is active (the switch should be blue, not grey).
This WILL have the side-effect of making you visible to search engines, so if people google your tumblr it will appear in Google’s results, and it may appear if they google keywords that appear in your tumblr. I have no issues with this but of course your mileage may vary, I know people have very good reasons for not wanting to show up in search engines.
But that’s how you do that, so. Yes.
petition to start using “invisible to spiders” to mean when someone is trying to speak to a group, but keeps failing to catch the attention of the people standing around them

my concern is I don’t get numbers by my icons. I’ll get reposts and a message every so often, but my buttons for those...
