# Set up a Tumblr blog as a subdomain

![](https://cache.media.digitalphotogallery.com/hyqelgcvfopo/images/a5afc6c0-f18a-11e6-9db2-8e12dd763e7d/610_support.jpg?generated=20170213012134)

An easy way to use your existing Tumblr blog with DPG is to set it up as a subdomain. This means that your DPG site would load at an address like http://www.yourdomain.com while your blog is served via http://blog.yourdomain.com.

Visit [this](https://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/blog_management#customdomain) Tumblr guide and follow the instructions to set up the blog subdomain.

Once you have your blog working as a subdomain, all you need to do is [add it](https://support.digitalphotogallery.com/articles/article/79ffa408-ef2f-11e6-9d7f-6e61028599f7) to your website's main navigation menu.
