laststrix said: And if I run a history blog, how do I get featured? This seems quite unfair for rather small blogs =/ Or how does it work?
It takes time to build up your blog, I guess, and I actually think this system is a nice way for greater numbers of people to discover previously undiscovered blogs, because otherwise: most people wouldn’t bother browsing through the history tag at all, because then they’d had to sift through everything within, and also since sometimes editors just go through the general history tag (or related tags) and feature posts they like. In the FAQ on Featured Tags it says:
How can I get my posts featured?
Tag your posts and track the tags you’re interested in. If your posts are worth highlighting, our Tag Editors and TumblrBot will find you. To learn more about tagging posts, visit our handy help document.
which I think is good advice.
