Tips & Tricks

Avoid Reblogging Long Posts As Links

Tumblr is programmed to reblog long posts as links. But some of your followers may want to read the entire post on the dashboard without being redirected to another page.

The solution is simple: just reblog the post as Text instead of Link. The drop-down menu gives you the option to change the format of the post. Choose Reblog As Text to reblog the entire post.

Reblog As Text
Use Keyboard Shortcuts On The Dashboard

There is an efficient way of going through your dashboard that would save you both time and effort. Below are shortcuts you can use for browsing on your dashboard.

Allow Users To Reply To Your Posts From The Dashboard

Customize Follow & Share Buttons

Make it easier for your readers to share your Tumblr content just by adding a Share button. Go to Buttons to view the options for customizing the Follow and Share buttons.

Once you have chosen a design, a code will be displayed. Now, open Tumblr on a new tab and go to Settings and click on Customize Theme. You will be redirected to a page that allows you to Edit HTML. Copy the code for the Follow and Share Buttons and paste it in your Tumblr Theme code.

Send Asks To Other Users From The Dashboard

Previously on Tumblr, to ask a user a question, you would have to go to their blog to do so. Now you can do it from the dashboard simply by hovering your mouse cursor over the user's icon.

Click on the gray figure and you'll see 3 options – Ask a question, Send fan mail, or Ignore. Choose the "Ask a question" option and a text box will appear for you to do exactly that.

Ask A Question
Recover Old Themes

Just click on this link to revert to any of the themes you have used in the past. Click on Revert and your blog's theme will go back to how it was previously. You may have to spend some time playing around with the settings to get it right though.

Mass Edit Posts And Tags

By providing the option to Mass Edit Posts, Tumblr has made it easy for its users to add a certain tag to all their posts.

When you're on your dashboard, look over to the right side of the page and click on Posts. Under Customize, a link that says Mass Post Editor will appear. Click on the link and you can edit/add tags and delete posts all in one go.

Queue Your Posts

Tumblr allows you to schedule your posts over a period of hours or days. It is an easy way to keep your blog active and consistent. Under Settings, you can edit the number of posts you want published from your Queue as well as the time settings.

Queue Your Posts

When you want to add a post to your Queue, click on the arrow next to Reblog Post. A drop-down menu will give you the option to Add To Queue. This post is saved to your Queue list and will be published later.

Delay Your Reply To Asks

There may come a time when your followers bombard your Askbox and you will be replying to them one by one. As a result, instead of having colourful posts on your blog, you will have a ton of gray boxes with your replies.

So, what can you do? You can stop the replies from being posted one after another by delaying them. When you are answering a question, just press and hold down the Alt key for options to: Queue or Save As Draft. Choose Queue for your reply to be published at a later time.

Delay Your Replies
Play Around With Tumblr's Logo

Ever wanted to use Tumblr's logo on images, collages or as your icon, but searching for Tumblr's logo on Google never seems to give you the right size or color?

Tumblr is kind enough to provide its users with its logo. Click here to look at the different designs. You can now download the logo and use it on images, as part of your Tumblr theme, as your Tumblr icon, etc.

View Search The Old Fashioned Way

Tumblr has revamped this feauture. The new search bar allows you to search for multiple tags at the same time. While that is definitely an improvement, some do not like the new layout displaying the search results. If you want to view it in with the old layout, replace /search with /tagged in the URL.

Share A Preview Of A Draft

Normally, a draft stays a draft for a reason, but sometimes, you may want to show your followers that you're still working on something. First, save your post as draft. Access your drafts and click on the upper right corner of the post.

A tab of your blog post in your blog template appears. Copy the URL and share it. The URL is temporary and once you publish the draft, the URL will disappear. It's also a way to preview your drafts.

showdraft
Rearrange Queued Posts

You have set your posts in queue to be up at a certain time. However, you want to change the publishing order of certain posts. You can do that at your queue page. Hover over the Sort button – the middle button on the right bottom corner – and drag the post for rearrangement.

If you want the post to be published first, click on the Move to top button on the far right corner.

Find Out What Your Friends Like

Some blogs have a "Things I Liked" section which shows posts that users have liked. Most don't as they did not enable the setting. If you would like to see what posts your friend have liked on their blog, type in this URL: http://www.tumblr.com/liked/by/[username]. Note that this only works for public Tumblrs.

showlikes
Search For Posts On Blogs Without Search Bar

You may have come across a post from a user that you like. You then visit the user's Tumblr to search for similar posts but the Tumblr does not have a search bar. You can still do so by using this URL: http://[username].tumblr.com/search/[search term].

searchblog
View Tagged Posts From Earliest To Latest

The nature of blog posts is to display the most recent post first followed by later posts. There is no setting to display your oldest post first but you can view your tagged posts in chronological order.

To do that, add /chrono to the end of a tag URL like this: http://[username].tumblr.com/tagged/[tag name]/chrono.

chronotags
Search For Posts On A Specific Date

Maybe you would like to find a certain post that you know is published on a certain date. It can be a pain going through the entire blog or tag looking for the post.

You can actually just find out what posts are posted on a specific date. You can do this by typing http://[username].tumblr.com/day/[year]/[month]/[day].

searchdate
View Archives

One of the fastest ways to browse a blog's contents is to look through archives. But not all blogs have an archive link. You can still view those blogs' archives by using this URL: http://[username].tumblr.com/archive.

Additionally, if you want to just browse a particular month and year in an archive, use this URL: http://[username].tumblr.com/archive/[year]/[month].

Find All Your Tags

One of the things that Tumblr seemingly doesn't have is a list of all the tags you have used. But they do. To find all the tags you've ever used, first go to your Tumblr dashboard source code.

To do that, right-click on your dashboard and select "View page source" from the menu. Next, either Command + F (Mac) or Ctrl + F (Windows) to find Tumblr.USER_TAGS.

viewtags
Display Individual Author's Avatar

This is for those who manage a blog with multiple authors. Tumblr's dashboard will show a blog's avatar next to a post. With this setting turned on, it will show an author's avatar along with the blog's avatar.

Go to the gear icon at the top which is next to the log out icon. Scroll to Blog avatar and enable Show author portraits.
