πoodboards: a guide for beginner blogs!
I decided to bring here a small tutorial that can help other blogs that are starting out and still have questions that need clarification, with tips and links that you may need. I wrote this from my point of view of creating moodboards and I tried to be as brief as possible in my explanation, there may be errors in English as I'm not fluent in that language and everything here was translated using Google Translate, any questions you can contact me via asks or by message.
how do I find pics for moodboards?
Pinterest is where you'll find most of the images you'll use on your moodboards, so create folders on Pinterest separating by color and aesthetic to make it easier to find. On Tumblr there are some blogs with cool stuff too (like @/m0ney, @/angelicdewdrop, @/rkivo, @/ohimesama-okinawa and @/bambiiis for example), but in this case I recommend putting the credits in the alt text.
Some blogs have a pinned post or carrd where they put the link to their Pinterest account. You can follow them and save the pins they post/save on the app. I also suggest looking at the other profiles they follow on Pinterest to find more photos to use. By doing this, you will influence the Pinterest algorithm, which will recommend more related pins in the feed.
You can also search on Pinterest for the aesthetic and color you want (like hime gyaru, y2k, dollcore, coquette pink aesthetic, coconut girl e etc.).
how to make moodboards + tips:
Well, it's not such a complicated thing for me. I generally make moodboards with 6 or 9 images, taking inspiration from the moodboards of other blogs that I admire, so I can get an idea of ββhow to make the captions and how to position the photos in a way that matches them.
To make it easier, first I create the moodboard and then I look for an icon of a kpop idol that can match the aesthetics and color of the moodboard. The reverse can also be done: first choose an icon and make a moodboard for that image, paying attention to the color palette and tonality (and for some reason, for me it's better to create moodboards in Tumblr's light mode instead of dark mode).
When I finish the moodboard, I add the caption, the hashtags (which will be very important for your post to reach other blogs) and a divider or blinkies. Dividers can be found on tumblr by searching for "dividers", on my blog there are some (other blogs with beautiful dividers that I recommend: @fairytopea, @v6que, @plutism, @h-aewo).
If you need png, I recommend these blogs here: @slipng, @pngcabinet, @heemeiji, @honeyluvsw, @hibscubus. Tip: If you want to add more than 10 photos in a single post, add it via Chrome.

how to create captions:
To make the captions, I use parts of songs that I like, but they can also be album or song names, movie names, a phrase you thought, etc. The symbols you will put in the caption can be found on this website or just by searching for "symbols", "kpop symbols", "kaomojis" on tumblr (blogs with cute symbols that I recommend: @v6que, @l-unitas)
If you want to use a different font for the letters, there are these two websites (01 and 02). And to change the color, there are also these two tutorials (01 and 02).
what to do to make your blog "popular":
Add popular hashtags that relate to the content you are posting. If you use almost the same tags as other big blogs, your posts will have more reach. Posting frequently and your account looking nice and organized helps too.
Ask several other popular blogs to promote your account. This was very important for my profile to grow in the number of followers and engagement, Also make friends with other blogs that make moodboards, reblog and comment on their posts and tag them in your own moodboards.
Join the events that some blogs do, as they offer good prizes like reblogs if you win and join some tumblr communities. And remember to have patience, as it often takes a while to get good engagement on Tumblr.
