Firstly I'm Assuming MOST have a mobile device (phone) that you use to access tumblr through the app.
The easiest way to edit your blog is on the tumblr app. You can also edit your blog through tumblr's website on a web browser i.e google or safari.

You can upload a profile picture and you can either "show" or "hide" it and change the shape of it to a circle or square. Green circled is your profile pic. Profile pic sizes should be squared eg 500 x 500
Your Header image (red circled) should be in the size 1308 x 736 for best results, you can change sizes of images with an editing app i.e Medibang Paint or through the web. I personally like to make header images a gif + png so my background and accent colours (pink circled) are visible on my blog.
If your header image is just a photo (jpeg/png) there is an option to "stretch" your header image it basically widens it if you don't stretch your header i think your accent color will still be visible.
like this : the pink is the accent colour and the green is the background
For Your Accent and Background colours you can choose it based on the images you choose for your profile and header images,
you can be monochromatic or as i said choose based the images you're using for your blog but you can only choose two main colours.
Something to note is that you need to play around with your accent colour sometimes because it will not be visible on your blog sometimes like how the pink in the image above is, it just remains blank which mean it defaults to white.
You can add a description (purple circled) and titled (blue circled) to your blog.
If you like it can be anything, like your name or age or a quote or emojis.
The possibilities are endless or literally you can leave it blank (my personal preference) or Hide them! Also my personal preference!
But if you hide either your description / titled, automatically your asks button will not be visible on your profile, like mine currently is.
If your ask button (labelled ask page title) is visible you can go in your tumblr settings and edit it with emoji's or a sentence of your choice! you can do what ever you like with your ask page title.
eg : (orange circled)

The second half of making an aesthetic blog is creating a pinned post. And what that means is utilizing dividers, gifs and images in the format of jpegs or pngs. There is a multitude of ways to edit your pinned post, endless possibilities to arrange images / text to create your unique pinned post.
Here is my pinned post for reference. ( I've made / edited all dividers on my pinned ) The apps I've used to create them are medibang paint, in collage and background eraser - found on Play Store.
I have yet to make a proper tutorial on how to make your own dividers but this hashtag #˖₊˚⊹ ⋆ 𝓪𝓷𝓷𝓪'𝓼 𝓽𝓾𝓽𝓸𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓵𝓼 is where you can find tutorials about my dividers.
i also have a divider blog that anyone can scroll through and use what i've made! : @annahasabighead
On the app version on tumblr you are very limited when it comes to posting.
You can only upload 10 images on a tumblr post
You can color code text/fonts/emojis on a tumblr post but you are limited to six (6) colours
For longer posts / fics it is good to add the "read more" link to shorten scrolling through posts on your blog / tumblr
here is what that looks like :
and for the web version
The Web Version of Tumblr
To do gradient text's like : ( My name is Anna ) You need to know 1. the website to use which is patorjk.com - the website i use
2. This website works with the text editor HTML and for easy copy and pasting you use a laptop or google/safari and have two tabs opened!
this is how you get "html"
i will link two video tutorials on how to colour code texts / emoji symbols like : ₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊ ( ₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊) and diffrent fonts like : 𝑴𝒚 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒂 (𝑴𝒚 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒂) note you cannot input different font / certain emoji symbols in the text colour changing website because you end up with this : � ��� ��
link one for text
link two for emoji symbols
website for symbols
website for different fonts
How to change the date's of posts on tumblr
My pinned post and masterlist's, i have changed the dates on them to (July 8th 1997)
You can only change the dates and times on tumblr posts using the web version of tumblr
this is how you do that :

You can merge three images / gifs together in three's like :
the preferred dimensions are 500 x 500 which makes them squared
another way you can stack images are in two's like :
the preferred dimensions for these are 700 x 500
you can mix and match with gifs / pngs for either of these placements
