Following the article on how to find blogs and people to follow on tumblr, this is another way of searching other blogs to follow when you’re new.

Tracking a tag is also a way for you to follow different topics you are interested in and get updates when new posts are tagged with the tags you are tracking. Tracking a tag does not mean everything for that tag shows up on your dashboard.

Here’s a tutorial on how to start tracking tags on Tumblr.
