Not all themes will have a link to the Archive button but even if you don’t have one, you can access your archive by adding “/archive” to the end of your URL (i.e. choklitfroggie.tumblr.com/archive).  You can either change your theme to one that has an archive button or you can add a redirect page to your blog that goes to the archive URL.

How to add Pages on your blog

When you’re on the Customize page, scroll all the way down to the Pages section.  Open it and click Add New Page.

Option One: Redirecting using tags
If you have a bunch of pictures of yourself already posted on your blog, tag them with a common tag. (i.e. my face)  
When you click the Add New Page, click the drop down menu and change from Standard Layout to Redirect.  In the first box, add an identifier to the end of the URL.  Ex. choklitfroggie.tumblr.com/pictures
In the second box, put [your URL].tumblr.com/tagged/[whatever the tag is]”.  Ex. choklitfroggie.tumblr.com/tagged/me
If the tag you’ve chosen contains two or more words, separate each words in the tag with a +.  Ex. choklitfroggie.tumblr.com/tagged/my+face
Check the Show Link box and give it a snazzy title for people see and click on.
The nice thing about this is that as you add more pictures with the specified tag, the page will automatically update to include them.   

Option Two: Redirecting using one previous post
Make a post with all the pictures of yourself that you want to include and publish it.  When you go to Add New Page, change from Standard Layout to Redirect in the drop down menu.  In the first box, add an identifier to the end of your URL (like above).  In the second box, put the picture post’s URL.  Check the Show Link box and add a title appear on your blog and for people to click on.  
This option can limit the number of pictures you have available for viewing, especially if you’re uploading the photos as a photoset.  

Option Three: Creating an entirely new page
When you click Add New Page, keep it in Standard Layout and manually add and upload pictures like you would in a text post.  How to do that here.  If you want to keep updating and adding pictures of you, you’ll have to do it manually in the Customize window.

the one that shows up on your dashboard (and everyone else’s dashboard, for that matter) is your portrait photo (like an avatar, an icon, or a profile picture). if you want a different picture in your sidebar, you can either find a new blog theme that supports this, or do it manually.

to do it manually, you will first need to host it online. you can upload it to photobucket, or just find a photo/gif that’s already online and use that. in your description, wherever you want the picture to go, you’ll want to put the following script:

<img src=”[insert picture link here]” width=”41” height=”41” border=”0”/>

you might have to mess with the width and height, but other than that, there shouldn’t be a problem.

if this doesn’t work, please come off anon and message me directly. you can find my ask through the “Talk to us!!” link in the sidebar.

some themes don’t support links- you would have to manually insert them. either you can find another theme that supports links, or you can come off anon and i can try to walk you through adding links to your sidebar.

this happens automatically! you don’t have to do ANYTHING. you just reblog and make sure there is nothing to the left of the comment you write when you are typing, or it will show up as the person before you’s comment.

- gbc

as soon as someone reblogs the post from you, the grey line will appear with a link to your name. this doesn’t happen on your posts, because you were the poster, and your icon will come up next to the post so that people know.

in order to comment in a different line than the person you’re reblogging the post from, just make sure that when you are commenting, there is no line to the left.

for instance:

[the other person’s writing]

[you don’t want to write here]

and:

[the other person’s writing]

[you do want to write here]

this would depend on your theme. i would recommend asking ohnemitleid for html things, or just searching for a new theme which supports this.

i’m so sorry, but i have ABSOLUTELY no idea what you’re talking about. try rewording?

Do you mean links like this?

Type what you want to say and highlight the word(s) you want people to click on.  Then, click the link button (the connected chain), input the URL of your choice in the first box, and click insert.

If you make a private, password protected blog, no one (except those who have the password) will be able to view it.  If anyone other than yourself was to have the password, they would not be able to add it to their list of blogs they follow.  They also would not be able to like or reblog any of the posts.  If you were to reblog anything to the private blog, I don’t think the person you’re reblogging from receives the notification.

Right click the image and click Open Image in New Tab.  That’ll open a page with just that image in a new tab.  Just copy the URL and presto!  If you want a short linnk, go to a website like tinyurl and follow the instructions there to shorten it.

i’m sorry, i don’t understand the question. :/

Are you asking why you can’t follow people on a secondary blog?  I don’t know why; that’s just how Tumblr is.  If you want to create a second blog where you can follow people, you’ll have to create a whole new account.

well, i won’t speak for Mufficus, but i haven’t heard of it. maybe if you give me a url i can form some sort of opinion? however, i will just say that i don’t like any other sites which post Tumblr-related info. every once in a while i will post a picture to a friend’s Wall on Facebook, but i have never once tried to promote Tumblr through another site (discounting reblog links on my YouTube pages). i’m not sure if this is answering your question at all, or even if i’m making sense, or if i’m actually just a unicorn right now. i have just woken up and might still be dreaming.

anyway, hope this is anything near what you’re looking for!!

A link for the delirious one

I don’t really have time to go through it in-depth right now but at quick glance, I’m not too sure what to make of it.  I’ve skimmed through a few pages of the “Sincerely Tumblr” page, as well as the mod’s personal blog and I’m having a hard time determining how much of it is genuine and how much is sarcasm.  (Mind you, I have difficulty with that all the time so I’m hardly a good judge of that here…)  Bottom line, I’m not passing any judgement.

-cf

i’m not sure what you’re seeing that’s highlighted in blue, but whenever you reblog anything, it’ll show up with your name automatically once someone else reblogs it.

you don’t have to add your name manually, ever. i don’t even think there is a way to do that.

i can’t help you and Muffy definitely can’t help you (love you babe, but you can’t even handle Photoshop) (unless you secretly have some random html talents you’ve been hiding from me all this time) HOWEVER,

if you go to http://ohnemitleid.tumblr.com/ and ask about any theme or html difficulties, (s)he’s really great at helping out and getting back to you right away.

-The Cheesy Wife

I resent that hurtful, but entirely true, jab at my ability to “handle Photoshop”.  I will learn how to use it one day.  That day is not today.  Or tomorrow. 

-The Chocolate Wife

hey, if it makes you feel better, i didn’t know how to help with the html. also i love your drawings in Paint or whatever you use. also i love you. also hi.
