TUT FOR GRADIENT COLORS .ᐟ.ᐟ
i've been meaning to make this post for a while, i hope this helps all of you aspiring tumblr writers and bloggers for your aesthetic posts!

STEP ONE
use the website, stuffbydavid.com, or another html text colorizer website, and type in whatever texts you want to use
it should look something like this!!
type in the hex code of any color you'd like
(tip: i like to use pinterest color palettes that include hex codes so the colors correspond well!)
(additional tip: if you're using images on your post, and want to match colors, use the site imagecolorpicker.com, and upload your image to see matching hex codes!)
it will look like this!
STEP TWO
next, you're going to want to copy the full html code at the bottom (do not use bbcode, it will not work for tumblr!)
STEP THREE
once you've done that, go to tumblr on browser or site form, this part will not work on the app!
tip: use safari or microsoft or any browsing app that allows you to go to the tumblr website!
STEP FOUR
now, by creating a new post by clicking the little pencil button on the bottom left or opening an old draft, open the settings gear icon on the top right of your post and scroll down to where it says, text editor, and click the dropdown menu to change it to html
STEP FIVE
now exit out of settings back on your post, and paste the html code onto it.
you should now see a jumble of numbers and letters, and once you save it to draft, it will show you your colorful text!
ADDITIONAL STEPS
now sometimes when I want a gradient image for a story, i use pinterest to search for fanart, and then picsart to convert them into colorful gradients
1. find your image of choice
2. open picsart and start a new project with your image
3. find where it says fx effects
4. then scroll until you find color gradient
5. and change around the colors to your liking
6. save your image!!
a/n: hope this helps you lovelies who are confused by the coding/ html aspect of tumblr as it sure confused me when i was first starting out!
