How to Post a Song on Tumblr: The Ultimate Guide!
Ah, the eternal question of Tumblrites everywhere – how on earth do I post a song on my beloved Tumblr blog? It shouldn’t be rocket science, right? Well, buckle up because we’re diving into some fun and potentially frustrating seas of the Tumblr music experience. Hang tight!
Step 1: Find Your Music Source
First things first, if you want to share your favorite track, you need to snag a proper music player. One of the most popular options used to be SCMPlayer, but some users report that it’s more like “SCM-Please-Don’t-Work.” Don’t hate the player, hate the code!
Step 2: Tackle the HTTPS Dilemma
Pro tip: Before you go all in with a playlist, make sure any links you’re using support HTTPS. Tumblr isn’t a fan of unencrypted links, and trust me, you don’t want it playing the “I-can’t-save” tango with your codes. So, if your URLs look like “http://,” you better replace them with “https://” before attempting to save. It’s a game changer!
Step 3: Embedding Your Music Player
Once you’ve got your music source sorted out and the HTTPS issue under control, it’s time to hop into the code editor!
- Go to your Tumblr dashboard, then head to the Customize section.
- Click on Edit HTML. This is where the magic happens – or fails spectacularly.
- Find the place in the HTML where you wish to embed your music player.
- Paste your code (the *correct* HTTPS one) right in there.
Step 4: Save and Test
After you’ve embedded, give that save button a hearty click! If everything went smoothly, your song will be ready to rock and roll. If not, well, put your detective hats on – it’s troubleshooting time!
