Help

I actually, for once, have a .wav I want to share with y'all...but Tumblr doesn't like the formatting? How do y'all convert .wavs to something that can upload here? Not wanting to upload to YouTube or anything, just share with you lovely ppl. <3 Let me know!

hiii i was wondering how you get ur post texts to be pastel pink :) instead of this hot pink

Hiii 💕💕 okay so it actually has to do with coding 😭 I’ll try my best to explain. So basically, I go to this website ( https://jsfiddle.net ), this is where you can make any color text you want.

— STEPS BELOW —

Step One: So, once you’re there you’ll see this screen, I’m on mobile so it might look a lil different.

Step Two: Once there, you’ll go to the right side where the text boxes are.

Step Three: In the top box, you’ll want to type in whatever text you want to make a different color.

Step Four: Next, where the red and green color dots are, click on the red dot. This is going to be where the color starts. You can make the text whatever color you want.

note: you can make your text gradient, as in two different colors. I make my text just one color ( that pale pink color ), which means both the red and green dot must be the same color. For gradient, the red and green need to be whatever two colors you want to make gradient. For example, if you wanted to do yellow and purple gradient text, change the red to the color yellow and the green to the color purple.

*FFE5FA is the color of my pink text.

Step Five: After you’ve changed the color, hit the run button in between the text boxes.

Step Six: Once you’ve hit run, the text box below will generate the coding for your colored text.

Step Seven: Once it’s there, you’ll want to click on it and hit the ‘select all’ button.

note: I am using this on an iPhone, so it may very on a Samsung or computer. Just make sure you copy the whole thing of code

Step Eight: Once you’ve hit select all, hit the copy button

Step Nine: So now the text should be copied to clipboard and available to past where ever you want. After that, and this is an important detail or else it won’t work, you have to go to Tumblr Online, not the app.

Step Ten: Once you’re on tumblr, go to make a new post.

Step Eleven: Once you make the next post, you’ll want to go to the top right corner and click on the settings icon

Step Twelve: You should see a screen like the one below. At the bottom of that pop up where it says TEXT EDITOR, the icon next to it should say Rich Text.

Step Thirteen: Click on the Rich Text box, and options should pop up saying, Rich Text, HTML, Markdown

Step Fourteen: Click the HTML option

Step Fifteen: You should see this screen next

Step Sixteen: You’ll want to paste the HTML code you just copied next to or after the code already there like this

Step Seventeen: Okay then you’ll want to make sure it’s saved as a draft

note: if you go to your drafts first and then create a new post, then it should automatically have the save as draft option at the bottom. It’s quicker than doing it like normal and having to select save as draft.

Step Eighteen: It should look like this now

Step Nineteen: Congratulations! You’ve done the hard part. Now go back to mobile or the app because it’s easier for these next steps in my opinion.

Step Twenty: In the app, go to that saved draft and make the text bold if you so choose, it makes it stand out more that way

Extras: you only need to make one colored text when you make a post, which means you don’t need to go through that whole process for each line/word you want to make colored.

— just type whatever words you want colored next to the already colored text, then move it down a space.

— however, once you delete that line of colored text it cannot be recovered, you’d have to go through this process again.

ANYWAY, I hope this helped. I tried to make it as step-by-step as possible. 😁😁💕💕

Hey if you are big dumb like me here is a list of this Dialogue Tones (??) things people put at the end of their posts! I never knew what they meant so this helped! /srs

I’ve also seen people use:

/g or /gen = genuine

Hey! So I realised today that I have absolutely no clue how to flirt because I can't take compliments very well. I always end up batting them away with a quick "thanks" or by being super negative about it. How do I get around this?

I’m the anon who just said she doesn’t know how to flirt and I forgot to say over text. I can flirt irl but for some reason, texting is a completely different story. 

in terms of taking a compliment well, I think the easiest way to go is to take the compliment with an ‘oh thank you’ and then turn the attention off yourself by giving them a compliment in return.

text flirting, however, is a tricky beast to tackle. I think my best advice is to keep texts light, but not one worded. so don’t send a novel but also ‘yeah lol’ or ‘cool’ is useless. keep conversation going with open ended questions. but, don’t drag it out. if you text him constantly and to the point that the convo kinda drops off or dies he might get annoyed with you. but, if you put some space between your convos, like at least a day, and always end them on a high note with a cute goodbye or a ‘gotta go, talk to you later/ see ya tomorrow’ (so he knows you have other stuff going on in life, not just texting him) you’ll seem a lot more appealing.

how do you get the colored text?

Make sure the text editor is set to “HTML” when you click the gear icon on a new post. Here’s the code you place:  

Place Text here 

Here’s / x / x /  places where you can find hex codes.
