A Work In Progress

@penguinsuit-n-tie

Probably gonna post some of my art on here but mostly just random stuff I like, Art Blog is mad-draws-stuff

I NEED YOUR HELP TO SPREAD THIS

This blog in the photo accompaninstuo91 does not have a proper blog. When you click on their blog, an image pops up asking you if you're 18 and if you say yes or no, it directs you to a virus/porn site that isnt on tumblr

The bots are evolving to actively redirect you/ give viruses to you

Please reblog this so you dont fall victim. Do not click follow or try to go onto their blog, instead the only way to report them is to click the little three dots and click report

@staff please stop shit like this

Hi everybody. I know this sounds super scary, but

  1. This blog doesn't do anything special. It uses the custom theme feature of tumblr to have a link out to an external site. You can see I'm highlighting the link here, and it's telling me what link it'll take me to. (a useful tip for knowing what a link leads to! use this to detect rickrolls!)
  2. That's the same as if I linked to fakepornographywebsite.gov in my post, except much harder to accidentally click on. If you don't click the link, you're perfectly safe.
  3. Even if you do click the link, you're still safe. Web browsers are designed to be reasonably idiot-proof. Keep your browser up-to-date and don't run anything you download from untrusted sites.
  4. Download uBlock Origin to automatically block sites like this (with an optional override if there's a false positive on a site that's actually fine).
  5. This account (@accompanincestuo91) been around since 2018 and hasn't done anything since then. pretty harmless as bots go.
  6. @'ing staff (or humans, wip, changes, or god forbid, staff member's personal blogs) isn't the right way to report issues with tumblr. Make a support ticket or report a blog. These will get you noticed faster, and I'm sure they're easier to track and much less annoying for staff.

Thanks! Please remember, when somebody tells you it's important that you take action (including reblogging) without thinking, that's your signal to stop and think.

are some of the people newer to tumblr aware of the joys of theme customization on desktop? I know some ppl are just on mobile so they can’t really change things but like SO many blogs nowadays have 0 theme customization and just use the default theme and I’m beginning to wonder if they even know about the option. It’s one of the main reasons why I still use tumblr

this post is not to be mean to people for not knowing btw. i just think its good for people to know bc page customization is one of the things that is slowly disappearing from the internet and i suspect that many ppl don’t even realize its something they can do on here bc they’re so used to their only customization options being like a pfp and maybe a header image. The option to do so here is something I desperately want to preserve since its a fantastic middle ground between the bare bones profile customization of twitter and like. coding an entire webpage from scratch.

like for people who don’t know, this is what my blog looks like if you visit it on desktop, outside of the dashboard popups

desktop users who have no theme this is the life you could be living

ppl in the tags asking how to do this, or who did not even know it was an option, here’s a very quick how to:

1. choose a theme. this is the easy part, search “blog themes” or “html themes” in the tumblr search bar, there are MANY blogs out there dedicated to curating lists of free tumblr themes. Find one you like and save the code in a seperate tab. I would probably check to make sure the theme was not created too long ago, as tumblr website changes over the years have broken some older codes/themes. I would also try to find a theme with lots of customization options, as this makes it easier to make your blog totally unique looking, even if you are unfamiliar with html.

2. either go to your blog’s actual page [YOUR-URL.tumblr.com] and click on the little paint palette icon that shows up in the top right corner, OR you go to your blog’s appearance settings, there should be a button that says “edit themes”

3. once you open the blog theme editor, there should be an option to edit html in the top left corner. Select and delete ALL of the present code. Then, paste in the code of your preferred tumblr theme and hit save. You may have to exit and reenter the customization page for the full effects to take place.

4. From this point on, customize to your heart’s content! Just make sure if you are using a theme made by someone else, that you don’t accidentally remove their credits. This can’t really happen unless you are editing the html directly though, so you likely don’t have to worry.

Keep in mind, messing around with tumblr themes still takes time, even if you’re not doing it all from scratch. Think of it like decorating an empty room. It will take time and effort, and it’s not at all necessary, but it’s worth it to make your space feel more like yours.

I always wanted to customize my page but like…any time i see “html” and it has to deal with customizing a page I cry and run away like a scared puppy. So FOR NOW, I’m going to be boring to avoid the utter anguish and despair I’d feel—

i promise you, if you find a theme with customization built in, the only time you will be touching the html is to copypaste it into the theme editor

tumblr has this great function that allows theme creators - the people doing all the html work for you - to put options like colors, changing the size of images and posts on your blog, the text font, etc, into user-friendly buttons and selection screens. Most html themes nowadays have at least a few of these built in! Mine looks like this

you see? no html knowledge required, very simple to use, and still beautiful and unique!

also, if you are still worried, tumblr has the option to revert everything back to the default state, or even restore previous themes. Your blog won’t be bunked up forever if you mess up some html editing if you DO decide to explore. Go ham!

Guys I need your help to prove a point. A friend of mine is developing a high quality 2D heroic fantasy animated show, that everyone wants to see but no one to fund. The broadcasters and platforms are telling her that heroic fantasy is a niche genre that doesn’t sell as is 2D animation.

So….

Like if you enjoy 2D animation.

Like if you enjoy heroic fantasy .

Reblog if you would definitely watch and support a 2D animated heroic fantasy show.

Clicked the link. Saw the trailer.

It's SO GORGEUS!?!

Here are some screenshots, but I seriously recomend watching them in motion.

My top 5 photos of 2019! I’m not sure if the top 5 photo extravaganza is officially happening this year but I always like to look back on my year; 2019 has been full of incredible memories and adventures for me.
