Fixing that “double link” problem.
This is a tutorial from my old blog.
Anonymous asked: "i saw your tutorial of the html's and they all help! but if i put a link in my description and click on it, my own link will stand for the link i need to go to.. if you know what i mean, do you know how to get rid of it?"
I think I understand what you mean! I hope I do. I'll try my best to help.
Do you mean that if you set a URL to go to "yourblog.tumblr.com/aboutme" it'll take you to something like "yourblog.tumblr.com/yourblog.tumblr.com/about me"? If so, keep reading. If not please send me another ask explaining it better. No need to be anon either. :)
I'll give you a few different examples using examples from my blog. Obviously change my username to your own. Haha.
Something you should know before we start is how to make a clickable link. Here is the code for that: <a href=”URL HERE”>TEXT HERE</a> When giving examples I'll fill in the URL HERE and TEXT HERE parts. Remember to change those.
If you want to make a link to "myoldblog.tumblr.com/aboutme" you'd normally write it <a href="myoldblog.tumblr.com/aboutme">About Me</a> but in this case you'd put <a href=/aboutme>About Me</a> Basically you're getting rid on the quotation marks (" ") and your blogs URL.
That is if you want a URL for one of your pages, though. If you want to link to another website or blog it is a little different.
Here are a few more examples.
For tagged posts: <a href=/tagged/tag+words+here>Tagged</a>
For another Tumblr or website: <a href=danniducklovespiggies.tumblr.com>Piggy Blog</a> or <a href=http://twitter.com/diana_louise>Twitter</a>
(this time you're just leaving out the quotes.)

When working with html every slash means something. Every space means something. Be very careful to make sure everything is right. I'm very guilty of not paying attention to those small details.
