Night Drive - carrd.co tumblr navigation page (preview)
Inspired by night-driving in the rain. I hate this activity, but sometimes I get nostalgic for driving to Taco Bell in desperation to feel something.
This is my very first attempt at doing something like this for distribution, though I used to play around with customizing tumblr themes for myself in the past. Basically, I was motivated to make a basis for a navigation/tags page based on what used to be popular on tumblr before tumblr started to disallow JavaScript, making many previously beautiful and useful codes impossible to implement unless you get lucky with tumblr support.
If you're familiar with carrd customization, this is absurdly easy to manipulate and change to your own liking. I just found this very old gif and liked it as a basis for a background. (I looked but unfortunately couldn't find anyway to attribute it as it's all over the place online from more than five years ago.)
This template requires at least a Pro Lite subscription to carrd.co ($9/year - referral code here, if you like) due to the number of elements used. Any link-heavy site would require at least this much on carrd.
Carrd has most of the instructions included on the interface. In some cases, I have tried to make things clearer by adding a tumblr link to the 'path' section of anything that is a link that you need to change.
Navigation - currently set as a link back to your tumblr in lieu of a back button. If you would like to keep this feature, type in your tumblr url where it says: https://URLHERE.tumblr.com
Tags - For each specific tag link, you will also need to add your URL and your tag where it says: https://URLHERE.tumblr.com/tagged/TAG
Sections - Each section corresponds to a category label. I did it by columns. You can change this to whatever makes sense to you, but right now:
They're all arbitrary and have just got to match up to the path you assign.
Each section example contains a different number of tag buttons so you could see what different distributions would look like. They're mostly drag and drop and very customizable. I included one that hits the 'overflow' point so you could see what it does there, but it is possible to keep making the buttons wider to prevent this to a point.
Use this link. I set it as a Pay What You Want link because I am an underpaid English teacher in Japan. If you're an adult and find this useful, I would be really appreciative if you threw a dollar or two my way. if you're a minor or in a bad spot financially, have fun for free.
As I learn more, I might make more, for free or cheap, if anyone is interested.
Instead of installing a custom page, the way I wish we could effectively still, use the option to add a page but make it a link to your card with this template in use.
