Making a full-length sidebar
Want a fixed full length sidebar? here’s how!
step 1, look for the sidebar’s div/css, like #sidebar.
and once you find it look for the height in the sidebar. for ex:
#sidebar{
height: 300px;
width: 300px;
padding: 5px;
position: fixed;
top: 30px;
left: 20px;
}
step 2, change the height into 100%, so it’ll look like this:
made a music hover box bc bored. and you can now add your playlist. but keep it short and simple. if the title is too long you can always change the width. feel free to modify it! but please give credit! if you really read the whole thing you can click the face, thanks for reading ^_^
today i’m going to show you how to make the trippy 3d effect!
open up photoshop, let’s say the document will be 900x140
and now let’s make the color black or anything you like, click on edit > fill or shift+f5 on a mac idk on windows ._.
and change it to black or if you want it a custom color click the drop down menu and click on color, but for now let’s make it black (:
and now let’s write a simple text, i’m using consolas as a font in the size 60pt
now duplicate the layer by going to layer > duplicate layer and just click ok (you must be on the text layer)
now go on the duplicated layer (welcome to my blog copy) and change the text color to red. i’m using #f74141 and now you have that on your screen.
now go and click the opacity and lower it down, this will be the 3d effect that will be going around. i’d prefer turning it to around 40-70%
now make the duplicated layer go in the bottom of the original layer. just drag the duplicated layer under the original layer, and you will have:
now use the move tool (v for shortcut) and just use your keyboard arrows and move it a little to the right side (if you want the animation to start from right to left) or you want to move it to the left side if you want the animation to start from the left to right.
let’s just make it from the right. i’m so boring.
and now if you move it more there’s like more 3d-ish effect there, and now
go on the bottom where it says timeline, click video timeline (if you don’t have it you can go to window > timeline)
create video timeline, and click on the boxes on the bottom left, and that should make your video timeline look much simpler to understand like:
now click on the 5 seconds thingy and change it to 0.2 secs the smaller the number the faster the animation. but you can change it to anything you like.
now after that just right away duplicate the frame. HOW?! click on that paper icon near the trash can in the timeline, it looks like:
and you see it duplicates the layer:
and on that second frame. (focus on your work now) by still using the move tool (v) move the layer once to the left (if you want your animation right-left, vise versa if you want it from left-right).
and now duplicate the layer but everytime you duplicate it you must move the red duplicated text layer to the left one time and one time means one pixel. until the red goes to the left and you satisfied.
after you are done change the looping options to forever
you can find it near the play button.
exporting it. to export it you need to go to file > save for web and devices
and a little BIG window shall pop out, just change the 2nd drop down box into ‘GIF’ and leave everything untouched. DON’T TOUCH IT IF YOU DON’T WANT YOUR RESULT TO FAIL! and just click save
and here’s my finished product! feel free to use it but credit me!!
Recently, i disabled right clicking in my blog. My problem is that whenever i want to open "read more" or my tags in a new tab, it would obviously prevent me from doing so. What's worse is that my blog has infinite scrolling and my followers would often lose track of the post. I want to know how to make links automatically open in a new tab whenever i click on them. I hope you can help

when you make a link, put <a href=“LINK” target=“_blank”>
Okay so probably maybe SOME of you guys have heard of people asking you to click on their ads and stay there for like around 2 minutes.
Well some people are getting paid to do this. So every visitor who clicks on their ad, the company will pay them. So this is handy especially if you have a lot of followers.
This could come in handy earning yourself some money, this could maybe earn you 2-5 dollars per day, so means in a month, you get like 2x30=$60!
But make sure you read this first:
You will need a lot of visitors in your page. You’ll probably get rejected if you don’t have a lot of visitors in your page. You can find tips on gaining followers here.
Get a nice tumblr theme. don’t make your blog super messy, make it simple and eye-catching.
Don’t message people too much. don’t annoy people just to tell them to click on your ads please, not everyone would do it and they get annoyed easily.
Okay so the ad networks to begin with is
Google Adsense ; This is everyone’s favorite. Google Ad Network for publishers will be the first and not so easy to replace Ads.
Adbrite ; In case you get rejected by Google (follow the tips above so you can avoid this) Adbrite will always welcome your site here. It’s highly likely you will need 4 times the amount of visitors to make the same amount of money that with Adsense.
Amazon ; If you do products or stuff review, this network is for you. Since you can place affiliate links in your posts, you can get a chunk of the purchase if there’s a succesful item sold after the click.
Friend finder ; I guess that according to the user type in Tumblr, Friend Finder could be a huge money maker.
These are the Ad Companies to begin with. Of course there are many affiliate programs outthere that you might find suitable for your Tumblr. Bu all in all this is more than enough if you just start to make money with Tumblr.
NOTE: This Tumblr Tip is not intended to show you how to actually embed the ads code into your Tumblr HTML, or the best place to insert it. It is meant to be an introductory post to learn how to make money with Tumblr using the various online advertising agencies available to any person that owns a Tumblelog with enough visitors, in quantity or quality, to make at least a few dollars per day.
I tag all of the resources with different names. like I tag backgrounds with /tagged/backgrounds and when i create the menu I put the link <a href=“/tagged/backgrounds”>backgrounds</a>
therefore, all the posts tagged with backgrounds will show up :)
please give credit by liking the post and also following me on instagram @xclre
if you want a custom one follow me on ig @xclre and message me your username and send in your text, text color, cursor head, and any additional things :) please don’t unfollow after.
bolded - replace the FONT NAME with any name you wanna cal your font, like Digital Love, but when you use it the caps or quotation marks doesn’t matter actually. (if you wanna use digital love you will need to type in digital love if you are going to use it)
italized - replace DIRECT URL with the direct link/url you have for the font. it’s to tell where they will refer to if you use the font family.
step 3
how to use it?
go in your css, for example you wanna change your blog title, look for the css code for the blogtitle, like .blogtitle (if that’s what they called it) and look for font-family, and the contents like ex.
.blogtitle{ font-family: georgia; }
Just replace georgia with the font-family you used in step 2 :)

Hi, I have a question about a cursor. The cursor I chose has a graphic associated with it, you know those cursors with the little triangle and a picture. The little triangle where part of the cursor that clicked on things was off. You could be far away from a link and it would highlight it. Can I have help so I can "configure" my cursor? By the way, I already tried other cursors that are similar to mine. They all work.

Did you get the cursor with a huge space around it? like it highlights a link before the pointer reaches the link? If so, please come off anon and submit the cursor I can fix it for you, maybe the dimensions were too big so yeah. You can fix it in the submit box here
