Hey!!! So I did my first commission!!! 

I recently added some new pages to my main blog to help people find my stuff and had a request showing how to do it. Being the nice guy that I am, I will now explain how as rudimentary as possible.

Step 1: Open your blog’s theme page. This can be done by clicking the Profile button [1], then clicking on Edit appearance [2], and then Edit theme [3].

Step 2. After the theme page loads scroll down and click on + Add a page [1]. A new post-like editor will open. From here add a page url, you need to replace the grey text in the box [2], give your page a title [3], and then add content to the page as if you were writing a regular Tumblr post [4]. Once you are satisfied with the post click on Save [5]. Once the save button disappears then your new blog page is live. You can double check the way it looks by going to the full url that was typed in the url box [2].

Step 3: Close the editor by clicking on back [1], scroll back to the top of the page and then click on Edit HTML [2] (dont worry if yours doesnt say custom theme or whatever).

Step 4: The next step might look scary, but it really isnt. We are going to add the button to the blog’s main page. First and foremost: make a copy of your current blog’s code so if you make a mistake or it doesnt look right then you can undo everything. To do this right click in the main text window [1], click on Select All [2] then right click again and click on Copy [3]. Now open any text editor on your computer like notepad or word and paste the text in there and save it to your pc. If anything ever goes wrong just copy the text in this saved file, open this window, select all again, and paste over everything in this box and click on save.

Step 5: Depending on your blog’s theme we will now add a button roughly where all the other buttons to your blog is, notably your ask and submit buttons. First open the search options by pressing Cntrl + F, then type href=“/ask into the Search for box [1]

Step 6: You now need to highlight all the code around the href=“/ask” bit starting with <li class= and ending with </li>, then copy this code [1]. (in my screenshot below this is lines 256 to 258). Note: do not copy the {block:AskEnabled} and {/block:...} bits; you wont need this. Next you need to paste this code where your button to appear; for example I chose for my button to show up after my submit button. So I found the {/block:...} part where the Submissions end (after the curly boi }), added a new a line and pasted the code there [2]. From here click on Update Preview [3]  and you should now see your blog has two ask buttons in the preview.

Step 7: We now want to edit our button to look and work correctly. First change “nav-item nav-item--ask“ to “nav-item nav-item--page” [1]. Now change “/ask” to whatever url you chose for your page back in step 2 (part 2), in my case this is now “/favourite” [2], you need the backslash ( / ). Next change "label {block:AskPage}current-page{/block:AskPage}" to “label external-page” [3]. Finally change {AskLabel} to whatever you want your button to say, in my case I chose My Fav Person [4], note: you need to get rid of the curly brackets here.

Step 8: Click  on Update Preview and then Save (the save button only shows up after you update preview). You’re done! Go to your main blog url and try it out!

Bonus Step!: If you want to link to stuff outside your tumblr blog (like youtube or patreon or whatever) you can do this by adding in the full link in the href= part without the starting backslash. Example:

Ignore this post. Nothing is going on.
