How to make a featured post using Tumblr API

As you probably already know, Tumblr doesn’t have the ability to have featured posts. Just imagine you have an important post that needs to be pinned on your blog that is dynamically updated with no efforts (no need to directly tweak your posts in your HTML editor, just tag the post with “featured” and it will automatically show up). You can see the example on my blog with the title named “latest posts”. In it, you can see four posts that are dynamically added if I tag them with a specific tag. Cool, isn’t? You can see the example here

Thus, I am here sharing my way on how to make it possible using jQuery and Tumblr API (I am sure there will another way to make this happen using vanilla JS, but since I am not good at this, I consider using jQuery instead). Hopefully, it will help you guys

previously, on main blogs, blogrolls would automatically show on blogroll pages, regardless of selecting the ‘Share the Tumblrs you’re following’ option on your blog’s settings. now, whether it’s due to tumblr’s new privacy update or another reason, this option must be selected for blogs to show on your blogroll

Honeybee v.3 - Re-release

For those unaware, the Honeybee icon font suffered a major issue today, January 20th, and it was lost while adding new icons.

The font lost around 500 icons but almost 1000 icons were recovered. Unfortunately, I can’t tell which icons are gone because it’s a large amount of them and I can’t track the lost ones down.

Good news is…

Honeybee’s page has new filters! You can now sort the icons by food type, as well as outlined/filled icons, drinks, and others!

Most of the most recent requests have been attended to and there are new icons including: mistletoe, Harry Potter icons, new plants and animals, and even fantasy creatures!

Honeybee has a new icon, which is now a bit prettier than the previous one. The page has also been slightly revamped.

I’d like to thank my amazing fiancé @waltersboringshit for recovering the icons and for being so supportive all the time no matter what it is about. ♥️

Check out the font if you haven’t yet.

A few important notes:

The library remained the same, so you don’t have to reinstall the font.

Most of the icons that survived have the same names, so there’s a good chance that the icons you’re using don’t need updating.

If you’re using unicodes, you have to update them; they are all changed and they won’t be showing the correct icons now.

The icons that are missing will not be added back to avoid problems like this from happening again.

I honestly have so many blank notebooks and i had to make a list of ideas to start filling them. My newest (impulsive) addition is that flower one on the right that I’ll be filling with quotes and hopefully showing you guys in the future.

watch sunrises. somehow, this makes me feel like the beginning of something new, the birth of my better, stronger self. watch the way the sun rises, because just like that, you will rise and shine, too.

sing your heart out. dance until you’re exhausted. make art until you run out paint. write out your feelings. indulge in your passion and do it like you’re doing it to impress yourself.

relive your favorite, happiest memory. it is one easy guaranteed effective way to make your heart, your soul, and even your lips smile. no bias.

rewatch your favorite film. grab some chips or a bucket of popcorn and have a marathon of your most-watched flicks. don’t hesitate to replay your favorite scenes if you feel the need to.

aspire and try to be kind, always. being kind on a daily basis is possibly one of the most exhausting and draining thing to ever do but i promise at the end of the day, before you go to sleep you will realize: it is worth it. always.

take a shower. scrub off your creeping self-doubts, smell nice, and bask yourself with self-love. take your time to ponder about your life inside the tub. this is the best time to reevaluate and relax.

be spontaneous even just for one day. drive away from the city. get a haircut. go on a coffee shop hopping. sketch random places. let your heart and your thoughts wander. let your soul soar and be free.

treat yourself. it does not necessarily have to be something enormous or expensive. it could just be a new set of brushes or getting a thrifted second-hand book or buying yourself some bouquet of fresh flowers. it’s not about the tags, it’s about the thought.

rekindle your love for a forgotten passion. nothing beats falling in love with something the second time around. touch your dusty piano keys, change your rusty violin strings, and once again (just like the old days), let your ardor dance in harmony.

take a nap. because sometimes, the best way to temporarily solve something, is to do nothing. yes, it is only ethical to give yourself a break from the overwhelming society. and yes, taking a nap most of the time makes everything better.

if you want to or feel the need to, cry. there is nothing wrong with doing something that is inherent. this does not prove that you are weak, it only proves that you are a human being capable of feeling things. so really, do not ever plan to hinder yourself from crying. it’s often times therapeutic.
