PRO-014 Pro Tips How To Build A Custom Theme

Understanding meta tags is the first step to making custom themes. Theme designers create custom themes using HTML and CSS. They add meta tags so people can edit theme styles from the customization panel without having to edit the code.

Meta tags control powerful style elements like background, layout, and navigation. If you’ve ever edited the HTML in a theme, you may have seen something like this in the <head>.

This line adds the change background color option to the customization panel.

But Tumblr still needs to know what element of your blog this option controls.

Further down in <style>, there’s a line that assigns this option to your blog’s background color.

This line tells Tumblr to use the Background color you choose in the panel as the blog’s background color.

MYT-003 Myths & Truths Can I Restore My Deleted Blog

You can’t restore a deleted blog. However, you may be able to reclaim your tumblr URL. Once your blog is deleted, it’s permanent. This means that posts reblogged or originally uploaded to the blog are also gone. Getting your old URL back is a good alternative. Especially for blogs with a strong brand presence.

Retrieving an old URL depends on how long ago you deleted your blog and the popularity of the URL. Most blogs that have not been logged into for longer than 1 year are up for grabs. Even if the blog has been posting.

You can check if your old URL is available by searching the address on your browser. If you see this screen, there may be hope.

If not, there’s a chance the blog has been inactive but not deleted. In which case, you may be able to reclaim the URL. Try creating a new Tumblr account with your old URL. If you already have a primary blog, try creating a new side blog using your old URL. If the URL is not available, you’ll receive this message.

Since Tumblr Staff cannot contact users to retrieve URLs, you’ll have to start over with a new blog.

STA-004 Staying Active Surfing Reblog Chains

If you ever come across a reblog like this on your dash, consider yourself lucky.

This is a reblog chain. Reblog chains start with the original post, then extend with reblogs and comments. Surfing a reblog chain means clicking the blogs in the trail one by one.

Surfing long reblog chains can lead to interesting discoveries. They can either be a time machine with predictions from blogs in the past that came true. Or an inside joke with thousands of people. Eitherway, they’re a great jumping off point for finding next content.

PRO-009 Pro Tips Stop Stealing My Art!

Everyone has their own definition of art theft. For some people, it’s only when you screenshot art and repost it without credit. While other people consider using their art as a header without permission theft.

There’s no guaranteed way to prevent people from stealing your art. But there are ways to deter people.

Put a notice in your bio

Putting a simple line in your bio asking people not to repost without credit goes a long way. People may not know it’s your original art and assume it’s okay to repost. While it won’t stop everyone, it lets people know where you stand.

Turn on asks

An open line of communication makes it easier for people to message you about using your work. You may be more inclined to let someone use your art if it’s just for an avatar or a header.

Source your posts.

Sourcing your work tells people it’s your original content. It also shows up as a link to your blog if your post is embedded to other sites.

Watermark your posts

It’s tricky to do a watermark well without ruining your art. However, placing it somewhere close to the center at a low opacity makes cropping it out harder for thieves. Consider using “yourblog.tumblr.com” or “@yourusername”.

CC-004 Creating Content Be Kind. Source.

Sourcing your posts isn’t just smart, it’s also the right thing to do. For content creators, it means getting credit for what you make. It’s also etiquette when you post content from other sites.

Every Tumblr post allows you to add a source at the bottom of the post. If you're reblogging a post, the source might already be included. If you’re uploading your own content, you’ll want to add your blog as a source. Here’s how to add a source to your post.

Desktop

Click the gear icon in the top right corner

Click next to “Content source”

Add the source link. If it’s your content, put your blog URL

Mobile

Tap the three dots next to “Post”

Tap “Content source”

Add the source link. If it’s your content, put your blog URL

MYT-002 Myths & Truths Is There A Best Time To Post?

Peak traffic times on Tumblr are between 5pm ET to 8pm ET everyday. This usually means posting after work and school will get you more exposure. But that’s not the case for every blog. To find the highest engagement time for your blog, check out your activity page.

The activity page shows your top posts and times when your blog had the most engagement. The activity page is only accessible on Desktop.

You can learn more about using the activity page like a pro here. But for now, here’s how to use the activity page to see the best times to post.

Desktop

Click the human icon on your dashboard

Select “Activity” on the sidebar

You’ll now see a graph with dates and times. The graph shows the amount of engagement on your posts hourly or daily.

Use the filters to show activity Last month > Hourly. Filtering for the last month gives you a larger sample size than the default last day.

As you look at your graph, answer these questions:

Is there a certain time where posts spike in notes?

Which time of day has the lowest spikes?

Which day of the week had the most engagement ?

Scheduling posts around these times ensures you’re posting when your followers are most active.

PRO-008 Pro Tips Decluttering Your Blog

When you’re mainly on your dashboard, it’s easy to forget what followers see on your blog. Decluttering your blog ensures your blog looks the way it should to new followers. It also lets you manage your growing blog with less effort. Decluttering could be removing incorrect tags, cleaning up your theme, deleting forgotten drafts, and updating information on your pages. Here are some tips for decluttering your blog.

Update Your About Page And Description

Routinely check that the information in your description and your about page is up to date. Make edits to your description and any custom blog pages regularly. New followers will rely on your description to know what they expect you to post. If you have an about page, you’ll want to make sure the information is still accurate.

Choose a Good Theme

An organized theme makes it easier for people on desktop to navigate. Choose a theme that prioritizes your posts and clearly displays tagged pages.

Clean Up Your Tagged Pages

Sometimes tags are accidentally added to posts that don’t match the tag. These posts show up on the wrong tagged pages and can be confusing to new visitors. Check to make sure that the posts on your tagged pages all fit.

Delete Old drafts

Drafts should be posts that you plan to eventually complete. Removing drafts you’re no longer working on gives you a clean slate to add fresh ideas. Here’s how to manage your drafts on desktop and mobile.

Desktop

Click the human icon

Select “Drafts”

From here you can edit or post your drafts

Mobile

Tap the “General Settings” icon

Tap “Drafts”

From here you can edit or post your drafts

ORG-004 Organization Side Blog Storage Tips

Side blogs, also know as secondary blogs, allow you to reblog and post content separate from your primary blog. You can use side blogs to store content related to a topic separate from your main blog. Find an interesting recipe but don’t want to keep it on your main blog? Reblog it to your side blog. Got a collection of memes that you want to keep in one place? Post it to a side blog.

Most people use and manage side blogs for fandoms or supplementary content to their primary blog. You’re allowed to create up to 10 side blogs every day.

FYI: You can’t follow, reply, or like posts from a side blog.

PRO-007 Pro Tips Avoiding Burnout

Being a content creator can get overwhelming. You might feel pressure to create more and more to a point where you’ve lost interest in what you do. The most important thing to remember is you started a blog to have fun. Here are some tips for avoiding burnout.

Post Follower Submitted Content

Fans of your work love what you do. And people like an opportunity to be recognized by other creators. You can supplement your content by posting submissions from followers.

Schedule and Log Off

There’s no rule that says you have to post a certain amount of times per day. Instead of creating posts and uploading them all at once, try scheduling them ahead of time. Create a new upload schedule where you space your posts further apart. Enjoy your “me time.”

Create a side blog

Making similar content can be draining. Creating a side blog on a different topic can reenergize and inspire you. Sometimes you learn something new to bring to your main blog.

Add Members

If you’re running a side blog, invite friends or followers to be members and help you run it. This reduces the work you have to do and could lead to better content.

STA-003 Staying Active Using Queue

An easy way to keep your blog active is to use a queue. Queue automatically publishes a set number of posts throughout the day or week. Unlike scheduling, you don’t have to manually pick a time on each post.

Queue is especially helpful for reblog tumblrs. Spamming reblogs all at once limits who sees your content. It also gives you more time to browse and reblog. Here’s how to set up and add your posts to a queue.

Desktop

Click the Reblog button

Click the drop down arrow next to “Reblog”

Select “Add to queue”

Mobile

Tap the Rebiog button

Tap the three dots at the top of the post next to “Reblog”

Tap “Queue”

You can also long press on the reblog button to see more options.

Slide down to the “Queue” icon.

PRO-006 Pro Tips Raising Your Search Rank

Use the power of tags and custom post urls to get to the top of Google. Search engines use keywords to choose the best content to show. These keywords include your post tags and the post URL.

If you run an 80’s Italian fashion blog, you should consistently tag your posts “#80s #italian #fashion.” The more people interact with your posts, the more Google assumes your blog has valuable information on “80s Italian fashion.”

Custom URLs also bump up your rank. Normally when you make a post, the link ends in a string of numbers.

If you replace those numbers with keywords, search engines will use that information to show your post.

Best practice is to break up the URL with hyphens. This way Google reads “80s-italian-fashion” as three separate keywords and not one long word. Here’s how to add a custom post URL on desktop.

Desktop

Click the gear icon in the top right corner

Type your custom url. Make sure the keywords are separated by hyphens.

Your post URL now includes a custom url.

GN-004 Getting Noticed How To Promote Your Blog Externally

Promoting your blog doesn’t only happen on Tumblr. Consider these tips if you’re looking to extend your blog’s reach on other platforms.

Source Your Posts If you’re an original content creator, sourcing your posts does double duty. If someone embeds your post on another site, often the source links back to your blog.

Share on Twitter Tumblr allows your posts to automatically repost to Twitter. Every time you post, it’s also shared to your Twitter feed.

Link In Bio Add your blog URL to your profiles on other social media platforms.

Get A Custom Domain Creating a custom domain keeps your blog on Tumblr and also makes a stronger brand presence for outside users.

Watermark Your Original Work Add your blog name or URL as a watermark on content. When it’s snagged and placed somewhere else, they'll know who originally created it.

Share to Niche Forums After you’ve found your niche, join similar communities on other platforms. Share the content from your blog to these platforms to find new followers.
