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

piratedashmod answered:

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!

I honestly feel season 6 is pretty dang solid, better than 5 and 4

Oh yeah, of course! I definitely agree that the first half of the season was a fantastic ride from start to finish.

The last two episodes may have been disappointing for me, but there’s still 11 to go and really, I don’t think it can get any lower.

so is pony still good? or am i not missing out?

Eh. It’s certainly been stretched out quite a bit at this point. Personally, I’m not 100% into it anymore. I still watch because of character developments and writing inspirations and all. Plus, there are definitely still some gems out there.

I wanna say that you’re not missing out, but I should also say that it depends on how much interest you got left.

One strange idea I’ve been developing in-house is the idea of “whitespace,” a medium that separates universes (or ask blogs, rather). Whitespace is a place that permeates the multiverse and provides access to other alternate worlds. It is my explanation for how asks appear in Diaries and PC, how crossovers happen, and also the entire point of a portal in PC.

A universe is represented by a door of relevant design, a name tag that is basically the URL of the blog, and a status light. Light on means the universe is accessable and active. Light flashing means it’s unaccessible or inactive. Light off means that it is dead.

There are also other spaces that describe lost ideas that were scrapped or forgotten (red), blogs that have been wiped with no trace (black), brainstorming and planning ideas (grey), and the non-canon stuff that happens in private conversations like roleplaying (blue).

As time goes on, I get more and more nervous about PC’s status as both a story and a blog. Will people like the new updates? Are they still interested? Am I refusing to accept the decline of the blog? Will I ever be able to advance to the next chapters?

The entire project is now approaching 5 years old and as that number keeps climbing, the more I feel like I’m running out of time.

But everything will work out. I know it will. And I hope it will.
