- Do you have your Tumblr set on as a custom domain?
- Do you serve it over SSL (a Tumblr dashboard setting)?
- If not, you probably should. Google the tech reasons, they are thicker to explain here but important for the point I want to make.
There is has been a hiccup with the SSL certificate that Tumblr owns, operates, and uses on Evil Supply Co.’s account. It has expired, creating the above giant and mildly frightening message when people visit.
Which is frustrating. As there is literally nothing I can do until Staff reads my support ticket and fixes it.
There is no warning, or notice, or dashboard setting, or any method other than occasionally checking the link myself to know something like this has happened.
So: if you have your Tumblr pointing to a custom domain, and you serve it via SSL, set a calendar reminder once monthly to check that it is actually working.
While I have your attention:
1. Create a mailing list. I wrote up some notes here (link).
Depending on your browser, you may have to click a button and then “proceed”.
This helps keep your thing, whatever it is, alive when social media networks are more interested in (checking notes) ineffectively warding audiences away from female-presenting nipples whether this is their concern or not via incredibly ineffectively programmed AI-bots
versus
(checking other notes) continuing to improve and fortify the absolute basic level of security and functionality of their platform.
