tumblr questions

[certainthings]

When you post a picture and you'd like to add a caption, how do you make the font size smaller? I've seen it done but alas, I haven't figured out how to do it.

Is there an easy way to find out who originally posted something?

Doesn't the reblog usually show the original poster? Is that only sometimes?

Alas, I do not know your font answer.

In the caption area you can see the HMTL button (it's the last one on the right), click on it and a pop up window will open. Write your test in this window between <small>TEXT HERE</small> and then click on Update :)

In most of the tumblr themes you can see (via username) that is the person you reblogged from and (originally or source username) that is the original source. Sometimes it shows at the main pager or at the "permalink" page this is a permalink page


Sorry about so many edits, I couldn't figure how to show you the right code *blush*

Sometimes it does. I like it when it does.

That's all right. :)

Thank you so much.

And okay. I'm not sure how to word this next part so uhm. Pretend that you understand what I mean.

My theme does not show the original poster. Sometimes there is "via [username]" and that's nice but it's not there all the time.

How do you open up a graphic or whatnot so that it shows the permalink page?

[thefrozenheart.livejournal.com]

No problem :D

Your theme does show honey, in your theme it says "source", bellow your posts you have the notes (with a gray/blue background), the tags and the source: [username] (also with a gray/blue background). here, let me show you

The "via [username]" it probably only appears when you didn't reblogged from the original source.

To show the permalink page you click on the date (the one above your posts) or at the notes :)

Heh. Thank you so very much.

Okay. 17th question. Is there a way to do all that without rebloggign the graphic / whatnot?

*is annoying*

[thefrozenheart.livejournal.com]

My pleasure :D

What do you want to do without reblogging?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Oh, I just want to see if I want to maybe follow that person. That's all. That's why I was wondering if there was a quick way because I don't want a lot of hassle and then I find out that the original poster is a 12 year old homophobic who hates Stiles. :/

if you don't want to reblog the graphic you can just open the reblog option in a separate tab and then click "post as" at the top and choose quote. it automatically gives you the source address. if not, it will give you the person you're reblogging it from.

long-winded but the only way i know of doing it...

[thefrozenheart.livejournal.com]

Yeah I know what you mean I always like to check the source of the posts I think are nice and sometimes I get very disappointed :(
You can also see the source on your dash, before reblog it you know, it appears bellow the post, right before the tags :)

tumblr just confuses me. so i generally just stalk and sometimes i reblog and that's about it.

the whole "fuckyeahflavoroftheweek" communitything over there is pretty amusing.

stalking is fun
