In your opinion, what's the best Sweetie Belle ask blog?

Asked by pembrokewkorgi

Me. I’m the best Sweetie blog ever. >:c

In all seriousness, it’s hard to rank.

My personal favorite was @go-ask-sweetie-belle, strong in visuals and cuteness factor, but that’s not active anymore :c

There’s also @yours-yearly-sweetie-belle, strong in humor and execution, but that’s also not active anymore. :cc

Hahaha I forgot about @sweetiebotreplies, but that’s not my fault. (*glares at Scram*)

Thus that leaves @askmeaniebelle as best Sweetie blog. By default. :P

What’s doubly weird is that I still got a notification that someone @’d me. Tumblr get your shit together.

What's your feelings on Maractus?

Asked by pembrokewkorgi

They’re lovely, but unfortunately I prefer cacti of the more “actually existing” type. ;Y

You should link your ask blogs on your mod blog... just saying...

Asked by soul-dew-latios

piratedashmod:

I don’t think the theme I have would allow me to do that.

Or I haven’t figured it out how to do that yet.

Time for a tutorial!

There are two ways to add links to other sites on your blog page.

A) In the Description with HTML (customizable)

You could put a link in the description with the help of HTML stuffs.

The base code is:

<a href=“URL-GOES-HERE”>BUTTON TEXT HERE</a>

Just replace those ALL-CAPS with your URL, and you get a nice little link.

You can also upload a pic somewhere and use that pic as the button for the link. 

The code for that is:

<a href=“TARGET-URL-GOES-HERE”><img src=“IMAGE-LINK-GOES-HERE” alt=“OPTIONAL BUTTON TEXT FOR IF THE IMAGE DOESN’T LOAD”></a>

Different themes will react in different ways to this approach, though.

B) Tumblr’s Redirect Page feature (no weird coding, I guess)

This approach uses what most Tumblr has built in, and that’s pages.

Go to your blog’s theme editor and scroll to the bottom of the options. You’ll see a button called [+ Add a page].

You’ll get a new set of options for a new standard page. Click the dropdown reading [Standard page] and select [Redirect].

Then click on the switch to show a link to this redirect page

And give the link some text. This will be the button to link to another page.

The [/url] box can be filled with anything; it doesn’t really matter most of the time. The [Redirect to] box is for the target URL, or the blog you’re trying to link to. Like such.

Save the page and presto, all done. The button appears on the same bar as your ask and submit buttons.

Hope this helps!
