Like reblogging, [[tagging]] posts is a central feature of the tumblr platform. Tumblr uses 'free form' tagging which allows users to create their own custom tags. Tags serve many purposes. Tags allow blog owners to label their posts to locate them later and to allow others to do the same. Tags can also be used to offer additional commentary to a post (whether an original post or a reblog). And finally tags assist other readers in finding - or excluding- content from appearing on their dashboards.

Because fans rely heavily on tags to find content, some people annoyed when two or more series share the same tag, for example the American TV series and [[Kdrama]] [[Lie To Me]], or the [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|animated TV series]] and the [[Avatar (2009 Film)|movie]] Avatar. <ref>{{source| url = http://plazmah.tumblr.com/post/9648185709/when-i-search-avatar-i-want-the-movie-with-the | title = this chick is bananas - When I search Avatar I want the movie with the blue people not the stupid fucking animated show. | archiveurl = http://www.webcitation.org/6YyhvFVxI | archivedate = 2015-06-02 }}(Accessed Sept. 1, 2011)</ref>
