I FIXED IT!

I know some people could just could go to the Tumblr Help Center for this, but I think my tutorial is more funner, so pthphth.

So, you wanna make a tagged page for your sidebar, huh?

LEARN TO DO IT YOURSELF THE HARD WAY, LIKE I HAD TO!!

 Just kidding. I’ll help you.

It is important to note that not all themes support this method of adding pages. If you got your theme in the Tumblr Theme Garden, you probably will not have a problem when doing this tutorial. If you found your theme outside of Tumblr (like me), you might not be able to complete this. But let’s just assume you have a theme garden theme, ok?

Step 1: Don’t Panic.

Step 2: Go to the blog you want to add the tag page to, and click “customize theme”

Step 3: Kewl. So now you should see this little fudger:

Everyone’s will look different, depending on your theme. Scroll down until you see the section called “Pages.” Yours might be tucked away under the little arrow; click the arrow to open the group.

Step 4: Now to actually make the page. Hooray! /sarcasm /notreally. Click the little tiny thing that says “Add Page.”

It gets a little tricky at this point, so I’ll try my best to break it up/down/whatever you kids say these days. This little window will pop up to make a new page:

  WAIT. DON’T. CLICK. ANYTHING. Until I tell you to, at least. See where it says “Standard Layout”? We don’t want that (in Pumkin voice). Click the little dropdown menu, and select “Redirect.” The window will change.

  Step 5 (because step 4 was getting too long): For this step, I am just using an example for my blog. I want a page for my “audio” tag. I filled in the first box with the page URL of my choosing. You can use anything, because in the end it doesn’t really matter (for redirect pages, anyway)

Next is to add the actual tag page! In the next box, type your full URL (http://exampleurl.tumblr.com), followed by a forward slash (/), and then the word “tagged” with another forward slash after it (http://exampleurl.tumblr.com/tagged/). Now this step is EXTREMELY important. After this forward slash, type the TAG NAME. Examples- “me”, “art”, “mine”, “gpoy”, etc. If your tag has multiple words separated by spaces, you have to use dashes between the words. Examples- “the-hunger-games”, “all-time-low”, etc.

Now, the next box is important because it makes the tag page actually show up. Click the little check box, then type a title for the page. Whatever you type there is what will show up on your blog.

If, however, this comes up when you click the box, this comes up:

  Repeat Step 1: Don’t panic. Scroll through towards the bottom, there are special instructions (4) for you!! You go Glen Coco!

SO now that we have this little box set up, please click “Create Page,” that little green button at the bottom.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE JUST CREATED A TAGGED BUTTON FOR YOUR BLOG!

  Refresh your blog and it should look a little something like this (using the Tumblr Staff blog as an example ok):

  Go ahead and test that page out. If it doesn’t work immediately- Step 1: DON’T PANIC! If you followed the instructions closely, you didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just taking Tumblr a while longer to adjust your page or whatever it is they do.

So that’s it for supported themes! You can read on to see how to make the pages for unsupported themes, but you don’t need that, do you? Since you’ll probably skip the rest of this post, I will say goodbye now, and thank you for reading! If you think I missed anything or have any other questions, feel free to ask, my box is open! Bye!!

Your theme is unsupported huh? THAT’S OK! There’s a simple solution.

Back on the “Customize” bar, there should be a section that looks like this (except without all the writing in it, because that’s my own info silly goose):

  You should still have the “Add a Page” box open. Uncheck the box that says “Show a link to this page,” then click “Create Page.”

Scroll back up to the bank of things that I showed up there. In the “Link1” box, put ONLY THE STUFF AFTER THE FORWARD SLASH! For example- /tagged/me, /about, /the-best

Then in the “Link1 Title” box directly underneath, type the title you want to show up on your blog. Click “Save” at the top, and voila!

Thank you so much if you made it through this whole post. If you have any questions, comments, critiques, whatever, feel free to drop an ask, and I will be happy to answer your question.

So I’ve been doing lots of D&D world-building lately and I’ve kind of been putting together lists of words to help inspire new fantasy place names. I figured I’d share. These are helpful for naming towns, regions, landforms, roads, shops, and they’re also probably useful for coming up with surnames. This is LONG. There’s plenty more under the cut including a huge list of “fantasy sounding” word-parts. Enjoy!

boredom due to inability to do anything at all

burying head in hands

clenching teeth

dizziness when standing up

dropping head back

finally crashing and sleeping the entire day

fumbling with a package of painkillers and struggling to get past the child safety

groaning quietly

massaging head at every opportunity

pressing head into a pillow or perhaps the chest of a loved one

resting torso on the table if they can’t get a better place to rest

rubbing head

squeezing eyes shut

staying in bed all day

trying the most obscure headache relief hacks they can think off (it doesn’t work, but it keeps them busy)

turning head away from bright lights
