How to Find the Date of a Tumblr Post: A Playful Guide
So, you’re surfing through Tumblr and you come across that post—the one that leaves you questioning everything about the universe. “When did this masterpiece grace us?!” you wonder. Worry not, fellow tumbler! I’ve got you covered with some delightful methods to uncover that enigmatic post date.
First off, you can channel your inner techie and view the page source. Here’s how to go all Sherlock Holmes on it:
- Right-click on the post page (not just anywhere, obviously!) and select “View Page Source.”
- Once there, do a little search (Ctrl+F works wonders) for datePublished. It should pop up in a format that looks like this:
- Voilà! You’ve just uncovered the treasure of trivia!
{“@type”:”SocialMediaPosting”,”datePublished”:”2017-02-20T00:15:35-05:00″}
If you think that’s too much work, here’s a shortcut:
- Just append /archive to the end of the Tumblr blog URL. So, if the blog is example.tumblr.com, head over to example.tumblr.com/archive.
- Hover over posts and watch them reveal their secrets (a.k.a. dates) like a magician pulling a rabbit from a hat.
- You can even filter down by month and year—like a diary, but cooler!
But wait, there’s still more! Want to know an even quicker way? If you’re rolling with Chrome, right-click and hit “View Page Info.” Sometimes, that little gem might share the date too.
Oh, and for our lovely mobile app users: tap on the share button, and the date should magically appear like a well-behaved unicorn. However, if you’re on the desktop, you’ll need to brave the wilds of the actual blog URL to get the date details.
Let’s be real—navigating Tumblr’s interface for post dates feels like solving a Rubik’s cube sometimes. It can be contrived and poorly designed, but hey, when has a little challenge ever stopped a dedicated user like you?
