Tumblr links in bio problem - resolved
Here was my code, both links redirecting to error 404 pages.
Two things were wrong.
1. the / before the https: I had followed an advice for coding found on tumblr help saying I had to add this (an email from tumblr team told me to take it out - make up your mind...). It needs out.
2. You can’t see it, but the brackets are wrong. They’re a twirly double apostrophes, not two little straight lines. (must have happened from copy-pasting links around in Word and back, I can’t tell)
I copied my links from a document where I keep this stuff and then, right in the Description box, redid the same thing (shift+2) to write brackets, except when typed in the Description box, they’re the right ones. Go figure.
So now my coding is correct.
Sidenote: tumblr team only gave an advice concerning the / and then said “Unfortunately, we can't provide technical support for HTML customizations. Given our large number of users, we just don't have the resources. Sorry about that.” So I hope this here is helpful.
