A Message for Roleplayers on Mobile
Hey there! Do you ever want to add images of your character’s face on mobile as easily as you do on the computer? I’m here to show you a tip on how to use reaction images on mobile (though it has a couple more steps than on a computer).
First, set your editor to HTML mode. You can do this in the settings, or you can change it at the post level from the gear button on the bottom right next to the Facebook and Twitter logos. Remember to surround every paragraph with <p> and </p>, and replace any < and > with < and > or Tumblr might eat your post.
The easiest way to use inline images, I have found, is by using the Imgur app. First, upload your reaction images onto your Imgur account.
You may do this on the computer via their website, or straight from the app via your phone. After that, you’ll be able to quickly access them via the app.
Here’s what my reaction image album looks like from my Android phone.
Once you have the images on Imgur, copy the direct link to the image you want to use. Direct links end with a file extension, most likely .png; if it doesn’t, open it in your browser and try to get the link again.
On my Android, I long-press the image, select “Share direct link”, and select “Copy to clipboard”. I don’t know how exactly it works on iPhone, but it should be similar.
Finally, add the following code to your post, replacing the _____ with your link:
If you’ve learned a little HTML, you’ll recognize this as just a normal image inside a paragraph. The paragraph is there to trick Tumblr into thinking it isn’t an “external image”, and showing it without making the user click on it.
And voilà! You’ve added an image onto your post. Once again, the steps are 1) find your image on Imgur, 2) get the direct link, and 3) insert the code.
Have a nice day! I hope I could help.
