Hello ♥ | I'm a french tumblr addict
Name : Alexiain the world of my tumblr you are a girl until I find out you are a guy
DO post the majority of your feelings in tags. It is fun for those of us that check up on reblogs to read about how you really enjoy the colouring or composition of a graphic.
DO NOT tag posts detailing your hatred of a specific character/actor/celeb with the name of said character/actor/celeb. The people that track the River Song tag are her fans and your negativity isn’t needed.
DO enjoy the opportunity to be hilarious and even a lil bit creepy in tags.
DO NOT tag a graphic/gif of an actor with every role said actor has played. Your Colin Firth edit doesn’t belong in the Mr Darcy tag.
DO delete the tags of whoever you reblogged from. Especially if there is a ‘mine’ tag in there.
DO NOT tag your text posts with celebs/characters just because they appear in the reaction gif you used. It’s great you enjoy using a Edward Cullen gif to convey how blingin’ your bling is but you’re only clogging the tags for fans.
DO think about others using Tumblr Savior and tag everything you post and not just your original works. There is nothing worse than being assaulted with faces you actively try to avoid.
DO NOT tag inane commentary better served for Twitter. I don’t need to check my tacked tags to see that you’ve decided to track that specific tag and figured it’d be great to tell everyone else tracking it.
It’s not Christmas on Tumblr without this.
Just posting this because I noticed that the tag links on my tumblr & other blogs weren’t working (for tags with two+ words and “:”, etc.). In case anybody is also interested in fixing them :)
Step 1: Find the problematic code.
In your theme code, look for a section similar to this (containing “TagURL”):
{block:IfShowTags}{block:HasTags}<br>{block:Tags}<div class=”tags”># <a href=”{TagURL}”>{Tag}</a>
</div>{/block:Tags}{/block:HasTags}{/block:IfShowTags}Step 2: Replace the “TagURL”
Replace the “TagURL” with your “blog URL/tagged/{Tag}”
{block:IfShowTags}{block:HasTags}<br>{block:Tags}<div class=”tags”># <a href=”http://archemicstar.tumblr.com/tagged/{Tag}“>{Tag}</a>
</div>{/block:Tags}{/block:HasTags}{/block:IfShowTags}Simple change! ♥
a+
I just want to add that if you’re like me and like to change your url often, you can shorten it down to
<a href=”tagged/{Tag}”> instead of <a href=”your blog url/tagged/{Tag}”>
because it will automatically add in your url and you won’t have to go through the hassle of changing this part of your theme code every time you change urls.
“you’re still beautiful to me,” i say to my graphic with 3 notes.
- when you accidentally follow/unfollow someone
- hitting publish instead of answer privately
- following someone and then regretting it
- when you consider someone your close tumblr friend but they don’t
- fangirling over someone following you and then they unfollow a few days later
- wanting to unfollow someone you don’t feel like you really can unfollow
- getting no notes on stuff you worked hard on, and getting tons on stuff you made in five minutes
- having to constantly wonder if someone received your ask or if they’re just ignoring you
- asking for messages but not getting any
- oh man
- tumblr is like a social piranha
If you are planning on participating, make sure your last tumblr post the night beforehand is “BRB Blackout”, so people know why you are gone. Also, please reblog this post so that as many people as possible know when the blackout starts.
Whatever your respective time zones are is when to start. there is no specification.
What is the blackout?:
A day. A single day where you don’t use tumblr. No logging in. No checking it. I know it’s hard being cut off from your community for a day, but a single day, but by refusing to use or look at Tumblr, you are making a powerful collective dent that will (ideally) inspire Tumblr mods to consider that these changes are hurting and upsetting us. You are telling them that that we were very happy with many of the old features that we once had. This is a respectful silent protest.
Why a blackout:
Because social media websites, whether for profit or not, use numbers to determine whether or not their website is successful. Tumblr is a popular, ever growing website with a loyal userbase, so no matter how much the tumblr staff ruins the website, the hit numbers will continue to grow. Making a dramatic dent in that is the only way to really get our point across and demand to be heard. We are essentially making a statement that says “we are not happy with the changes that you have made, it is your users that makes your site successful, please listen to us”
BUT YOU ARE OVERREACTING1111 ITS JUST A WEBSITE WE DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR IT OMFGZ GRPW UP.
I’m not proposing that we seek out and gun down everybody who works for and maintains tumblr. I don’t think asking people to go outside or hang out with their friends for a day is being terribly reactionary or overly aggressive. For many of us, Tumblr is a home away from home where we talk to people who share our weird interests. I think we have a right to ask that it runs in the most user friendly way possible. I also refuse to congratulate Karp for “not making us pay” for Tumblr. Most social media websites do not require payment, and many still listen to their users. A good example is Reddit, which is among the most popular websites on the internet and still works tirelessly to make sure that users are happy with the developments they make.
Some of the negative changes make to Tumblr:
The banning of all follower tracker services. The changes and attacks on Missing E that have resulted in many features being taken away and may result in it’s permanent banning. Askboxes having character limits. Askboxes regularly eating messages that they see as spam. Askboxes not allowing us to post links or use the enter key. David Karp responding to these problems by basically saying “let them eat cake”. The Tumblr sidebar being taken away.
If you have any more questions, please contact me via submitbox. Please do not ask anon so I can properly respond.
