A dashboard is a logged-in user's control panel for activities on a website. It is part of many online platforms and is used by both social media and business websites. Tumblr, in particular, changed the way fandom uses social media sites; it was the first popular platform where users were expected to read and interact from their dashboard instead of starting from the same page that visitors saw.
Websites with dashboards
- Tumblr - The dashboard is such a central part of the Tumblr experience that many posts are made to be seen from the dashboards of followers, rather than the user's public page.
- Wordpress - The dashboard is for administrators; they can organize pages, make new posts, add or remove tags, and edit what's been published.
- Livejournal and Dreamwidth dashboards are so removed from active site participation that many people don't think of them as dashboards. Almost nobody uses them as their main spot for "where I start when I visit the site". (DW's is at https://www.dreamwidth.org/; it has a collection of tools like site search and quick post.)
