HTMLHelp Forums _ Web Site Functionality _ Editing Tumblr Post Appearance

Posted by: Deargfolt May 13 2015, 09:51 AM

Hi guys!

I've checked the forum topics a bit and there doesn't seem to be an answer to my problem yet so here we go:

I'm a bit new to the whole html thing on tumblr and I was wondering if anyone knwe how to custom posts on tumblr.
In fact, I would like to edit the appearance of my tumblr post according to the theme I'm working on.
The problem is that I have no idea how to do that, and after checking a hundred various websites, I still have no solution.
Anyway here's my html (sorry if it's messy and incomplete but as I said, I'm completely new to this):


<section id="posts" class="content clearfix {block:HideTitle}{block:HideDescription}no-title-desc {/block:HideDescription}{/block:HideTitle}{block:HideHeaderImage}no-image {/block:HideHeaderImage} {block:ShowAvatar}avatar-style-{AvatarShape}{/block:ShowAvatar} {block:HideAvatar}avatar-hidden{/block:HideAvatar} {block:IfNotCollapseNavigation}exposed-nav{/block:IfNotCollapseNavigation}">

I hope it's not polluting the forum and also that someone will be able to help me.
Thanks in advance!

I hope you also read the pinned posts at the top of this forum section.

You don't say what you want changed and besides, for that, we'd need to see the online page.

Also because the code you posted is Tumblr specific and can't be used outside Tumblr and thus is of no use to us to help you.

I'm truly sorry for being so confusing! I read the pinned post thus I'll try to be much clearer now (English is not my native language).

First of all here is the link to the blog in question:

http://storyofalazyassartist.tumblr.com/

Secondly, what I meant to say is that I want to change the color, the size and if possible the position of the posts on my tumblr page, like in certain tumblr themes where posts are much smaller, of a different color and so on and so forth. I don't know if there is a specific tutorial somewhere on the Internet but up till now my research has been fruitless.
If by any chance you know how to sort this type of thing out, it would be very helpful.
I hope my message is a bit less messy.

Again I'm very sorry I posted without really thinking it through. And thank you for letting me know about it.

Now I understand better, which doesn't mean I can help as I'm not familiar with Tumblr. All I know is that there is some editor (through the dashboard?) and you can make (CSS) changes there. I don't think you should try to change the HTML (as most isn't plain HTML) or your page might not work anymore.

Try searching like this:
"change post color tumblr"
"change post size tumblr"

Just add tumblr to your search query.

Or maybe someone with knowledge of Tumblr will join in. Though I'm afraid that's wishful thinking.

I'm glad I was more understandable.
I indeed found a CSS editor in the editing section of my tumblr blog. And somehow I managed to find how to do it.
Thank you very much for the advice!
