Quick guide to adding in custom URL to your page

Ok so i’ve seen people try and do the links and they have the right idea, but the method is a little wrong. So here’s the Tumblr version on how to add a link to your pictures of yourself, on your tumblr page for all to see. With pics:

1. Go to your dash stream, and head over to the righ of the page, where you’ll see this selection (obviously yours won’t say Jons Playlist, thats my tumble name). Press “Customise appearance”

 

2. Press the “Info” tab in the top left of the new screen. You can now start editing and putting in HTML into the “Description” field. 

3. The code you need to have a link to your specifically tagged section is as follows:

<a href=”/tagged/me/”>PHOTOS OF ME</a href>

stick that in the description field, at the bottom of all the text, and save and close, and you’re done!

The a href HTML tag is the coding used to create hyperlinks, clickable words that direct to another page. where it says “PHOTOS OF ME” above, you can replace that with whatever you want. You can also change the “/me” part to any other tagline. So say if you have a load of pictures of your cat which all share the same tag of “/cat”, stick that in, and the link will direct to there.

It is also worth mentioning where alot of people are going wrong on the URL inputting. You only need to have “/tagged/” and beyond in the coding, NOT http://www.yourtumblrname.tumblr.com/tagged/. If you put that in, it would redirect the page to something like: http://www.yourtumblrname.com/http://www.yourtumblrname.tumblr.com/tagged/

annoying i know.

so when adding links on tumblr, just copy the URL from the backslash after the .com of tumblr, and it should always work
