Can You Have Clickable Links in Ask Tumblr? Absolutely!
Ah, the eternal quest for clickable links on Tumblr’s Ask feature! The pursuit is real, people! But fear not, I’m here to simplify Link Land for you!
When you’re using Tumblr, especially in the Ask section, you might feel like you’re lost in a digital maze when it comes to inserting links. But worry less about the technical butchery because it’s quite user-friendly if you know where to look. Here’s the lowdown:
- Desktop Users: You get a special treat! Right below the text box, there’s a link icon that looks like a pair of chain links. Click that baby, and two boxes pop up. One for the link itself and another for the text that will display the link.
- Mobile Users: You’re not left out in the cold! That same chain-like icon also exists on mobile, typically found at the bottom part of the textbox. However, be aware that formatting is a bit of a diva on mobile—it will show up as \[text\](link), which, let’s be honest, is not the best look.
What About Editing Links?
Once you’ve successfully inserted a link on desktop, you have some nifty options! You can keep the text box empty, leaving your link to flaunt itself as a plain URL. Want to make adjustments? If the link has turned blue and underlined, it’s officially “clickable.” Just click on it to modify or even remove the link while keeping your desired text.
As for Instagram photos not showing up when you share them to Tumblr, you’re likely encountering format compatibility issues. Instagram often uses webp image format, whereas Tumblr—well, let’s just say it’s old-school with JPEG and PNG. So, you might need to save those images in a supported format before sharing.
