Tumblr Tricks, Vol. 1

Post a song with album art:

Copy some album art to your clipboard, in iTunes, right-click on your song, go to “Get Info,” go to the Artwork tab and command+v your art into that box. This will embed the art into the mp3 meta tags, not just into the itunes library information (which is what happens when you drag art into the album art display box in the main window).

Insert an expandable photo instead of the grey box:
If you insert a photo into a post that is not uploaded to the tumblr server, it will look like this:   . When you create a text document, you’ll notice an “+ upload photo” option right above the text box. First, upload a photo using that tool, then, once its appeared into your text box, click the “HTML” button, copy the <img src=”…”> code, then, in any other post, be it audio, photo, whatever, open the HTML of that post and just paste it in.

Like thissss…

Embed Widescreen videos without letterboxing:
If you paste the new Youtube embed code instead of just the youtube URL, your video will be nice and slim.

Reblog yourself:
Go to the permalink page of the post, view the HTML source, at the bottom it will say <!— BEGIN TUMBLR CODE —> and then an iframe source which ends in “&amp;rk=Ml5I4A6I” except that RK code is different every time. Copy the 8-digit code that comes after “rk=” and then in your address bar it will say something like http://*you*.tumblr.com/post/658445839/, replace “post” with “reblog” and then paste the 8-digit code after it, making “http://*you*.com/reblog/658445839/Ml5I4A6I” then hit enter. Reblog form should come up after that.

Include a comma in a tag:
Type out the full sentence then arrow back and hit comma where you want it. Should carry over.

Reblog things into different formats:
At the top of the reblog menu, you will see “Reblog Photo as…” and if you click “as…” you can change the way it will appear on your blog. Very helpful when trying to undo the new tumblr auto-reblog-long-text-posts-as-links thing.

Animate your gifs:
No wider than 500px, no larger than 508K. Simple as that, haters.

That’s all for now. Go get awesome.
