How to Edit a Theme on Tumblr: A Fun How-to Guide!
Ready to give your Tumblr theme a makeover? 💃 Well, hold on to your pixelated hats because I’m diving into the quirky world of Tumblr themes! It’s like dressing up a digital doll, except much more of a hassle and with fewer fashion faux pas (hopefully).
Get Your Editor’s Hat On! First things first, you need to access the HTML of your theme. Navigate to your Tumblr dashboard and click on the ‘Edit theme’ button. Once there, find the ‘Edit HTML’ button. Give it a click, and *voilà*, you’re looking at a glorious mess of code! But fear not, brave warrior; editing is just a few lines of code away.
Want to Remove Captions? Let’s Go! If you find those captions on your media posts as charming as a rainy day, it’s time to unleash `{Caption}` and `{block:Caption}` in your HTML theme file. Search for these terms in your code to snip away unwanted text. It’s like wielding a pair of virtual scissors—just be careful not to chop anything essential!
Goodbye, Reblog Info! Tired of seeing that endless reblog info that reads like a novel? Check out Tumblr’s Reblog variables. Insert this little gem into your code, and watch as your posts become as unburdened as a hot air balloon on a clear day!
Post Dates Make You Sigh? I get it, the years roll by and you just want to live in the moment! 🙈 To erase those pesky post dates, utilize Date variables. Locate them in your HTML and wave goodbye to time stamps. The past is overrated anyway!
Never Touched HTML/CSS? If you’re thinking you might as well be staring at an alien language—don’t panic! Contact the theme author! Most theme designers are super helpful and might offer guidance directly! If you don’t remember where you snagged that charming theme, try uploading it to a site like Pastebin, then share the link. It’s like giving your code a little vacation in the cloud!
