#link tutorial

hi! heres a short tutorial:

when writing out your title like "stimboards part one" you can highlight the wanted words/section and there will be a few icons that pop up - you will want to click the green chain (the third from the left) as i've circled

this will bring up a menu to link another page to your words

enter your desired link and you're done!

on mobile however, the icons are all the same colour and the link option is the farthest on the right!

as for getting the links, i just click the three dots at the top of the post and copy the link from there!

i hope this helps you! <3

Hi anon! No need to apologise~

The best way to do it is on desktop, but if you don’t have access to a computer, then it’s possible through mobile.

For Desktop:

Go to “Edit Appearance” (under the link for Queue) for your blog, then choose “Edit Theme” where it says Website Theme.

(Do not click the “Edit appearance” link overlaid on the photo you have for your mobile theme—this will take you to the wrong place. Scroll down just a little further!)

This will take you to where you can edit your theme! You’ll be working in the first box on the left-hand side (Appearance Options) in “Description.” This is your bio.

(You’ll notice that the line(s) of text you already have in there are bookended by <p> and </p>. Don’t delete those!)

So it’s a portion of html that you’ll be putting in instead of typing just the word or phrase.

Aaaand here it is:

<a

href=“insert link here”>word you want linked</p>

Make sure to include the line break after the ‘a’. Just hit enter/return to do that. Make sure to include all elements—quotation marks, slashes, etc.

If there’s already a </p> at the end of the word you want to link, then leave that so it will still end up looking like the example above.

Choose “Update Preview” to see how it looks and if it worked, then “Save.”

For Mobile:

Make sure to copy the link you want to insert first.

Go to edit your theme from where you see your own blog.

Select the word or phrase you want to link. The options for different colours, bold, italics, strikethrough, and link will appear.

Press the link option, paste your link into the space provided, then choose “Add.”

And, of course, save your work!

Since tumblr can be pretty finicky, I’d recommend the desktop way to do this for your bio. If you’re just linking things in a random text post, mobile does it just fine. But for bios, the link will show up properly on desktop and mobile if you do it on desktop. (Wow I really sound repetitive now, but you get it).

I hope this is clear and helps! Let me know if you have any questions~

Hi friend!

The process looks different on desktop vs. mobile, so I’m going to show you both ways (on a computer and in the app) under the cut.

HOW TO CREATE LINKED TEXT ON A POST: A TUTORIAL

ON A DESKTOP/WEB BROWSER:

STEP 1: Create your post like normal. It can be any kind of post, but for this demonstration I’m using a photo post and linking the text in the caption. The steps are the same for text posts, audio, video, etc.

STEP 2: Add your regular text.

STEP 3: Highlight your text, and the text options will pop up.

STEP 4: Click on that little squiggly infinity-looking icon to create a link.

STEP 5: You should see a little text entry bar that looks like this.

STEP 6: Open a new tab and go to the page of the post you want to link. If it’s your own post, just go to your own blog, find it, and click on the post notes. In most themes, that will link to the specific post URL.

STEP 7: Copy the post URL to your clipboard.

STEP 8: Paste the URL into that little text entry box you opened earlier.

STEP 9: Make sure to press “Done” after you paste the text!!! If you don’t it won’t save the link.

STEP 10: If you’ve done it right, you should see this options menu that says “Edit | Remove | Open”. Save the post and you’re done!

ON MOBILE/THE TUMBLR APP:

(I will be using the iOS app on my iPad for this tutorial, but the process should look mostly the same on iPhones and Androids.)

STEP 1: Save the post as a draft WITH your text already typed in.

STEP 2: Copy this code:

[linked text]

This is the HTML code that you can use to add a link to any text, both on posts and in your blog theme. [link] will be replaced with the link you want the text to go to, and [linked text] will be the words you want to show.

STEP 3: Find the post you want to link to, and click the tiny paper airplane icon on the bottom.

STEP 4: This little menu should pop up. Scroll the bottom bar to the right.

STEP 5: Click on the “copy” icon to copy the post URL to your clipboard.

STEP 6: Replace the [link] part of the code with the link you just copied, and the [link text] part with the words you want to show. I find it easiest to do this in my Notes.

STEP 7: Copy the entire code you just created to your clipboard.

STEP 8: Reopen the post in your drafts and delete all of the text you entered earlier.

STEP 9: Paste the code into the post.

STEP 10: Save the post and you’re done!

is there a particular site you're having trouble with, if so let me know but here's the basics! :)

on thefile.me site there's two columns that say free and premium. if you scroll down a little at the bottom of the free column there's a grey button that says "free download". click that. it'll take you to the video. (don't worry it won't actually download anything, it's just streaming!)

on firedrive.com green cloud with a green button underneath that says "continue to file" should appear. click that green button and it'll take you to the video.

on sockshare.com there are two columns, one of which will have a button at the top that says "please wait _ seconds". when that short countdown finishes the button will say "continue as free user". click that and it will take you to the video.

i think those are the only sites i have linked on that post, but please let me know if i missed one! also keep in mind that these sites are much easier to use if you have adblock! 

I've never seen it on any themes let alone seen a tutorial so here we go!

vc escreve seu texto e na hora que quiser botar um link vc pode botar uma letra ou simbolo para substituir.

bote o simbolo ou a letra que vc quer botar (eu sempre escolho o x) e selecione ela (assim) aperte no simbolo de infinito que fica aqui em cima (nele quando vc clica aparece: inserir/editar link) é esse simbolo aqui 

dai vai aparecer uma caixinha e nela vc bota o url do site. tambem vai pedir para vc botar um titulo mas não precisa. 

no final a letra ou simbolo que vc escolheu vai ficar sublinhado e é so a pessoa clicar que entra no site que vc escolheu.

for example you wanna put a link to this word

you highlight it   

and click on this  while the word is still highlighted 

this will pop up. you add your link and stuff and that’s it!

An anon requested this, so here it is.
