a quick list of things every roleplayer should know
- the word “dependent” does not have an “a” in it
- when making a page in theme editor, click “show a link to this page” to make the page available in mobile
- to make something in small font, highlight the text you want small and use “ctrl” + “shift” + “-”
- to highlight all the words in your post, use “ctrl” + “a”
- if you need to move something to another post and you need to carry over someone’s icon, move the other user’s picture over by right clicking it, clicking either “copy image” or “copy image URL”, and pasting it in the new post. ( alternatively, you can also change it to HTML and use this code. <figure><img src=“URL OF PICTURE HERE”></figure> )
- to change a size of an image in post, ad height and width to the picture coding. <figure><img src=“URL OF PICTURE HERE” data-orig-height=“THE HEIGHT YOU WANT” data-orig-width=“THE WIDTH YOU WANT” alt=“image” /></figure>
- if you @ someone in a post but save it to drafts or edit it later, it will untag them. you will need to @ them again.
- mass tag replacer ( there is also one included in X-Kit, along with other things such as automatic tagging, blacklist, etc )
- you’re going to need to manually place blockquotes around images. to do so, go into the HTML and put the coding of <blockquote> around the image, and then </blockquote> when the image or group of text is done ( if after the image, it’s usually after </figure> ). Sometimes, however, the “<figure>” coding will break and will stop a blockquote right then and there, so you may need to remove it. you cannot go back to “rich text” after putting a blockquote around a picture, as it will delete it. merely click the little arrow down from ‘post’, click ‘preview on blog’, and when it’s satisfactory, click ‘post’ with it still in HTML.
- before every single reply, read someone’s rules just to clarify you are not overstepping boundaries in any way!
- NEVER REBLOG AS LINK. ALWAYS REBLOG AS TEXT.
- to make regular sized and small font the same size on your blog, use this code after the end brace of “body” :
sup, small, sub {
font-size:DESIRED FONT SIZE HEREpx;}
- general etiquette is two replies to one post – the person’s previous reply and your reply. this means reblogging asks often breaks etiquette, and should be moved to new posts.
- when changing URLs, keep your old URL and use this code for a redirect page. not only will it redirect users to your new page, it will also redirect them to the page they were trying to reach but on your new page. ( for example, if they were going to OLDURL.tumblr.com/ask, it’ll redirect to NEWURL.tumblr.com/ask )
- if you’re trying to send an ask but someone’s theme prevents you from seeing the full ask box and thus hitting “send”, use THEIRURL.tumblr.com/ask/mobile. also works for submit.
- only the first 5 tags in a new post actually will show up in Tumblr tags
- you are a fantastic roleplayer and should not sell yourself short (✿◠‿◠)
