that gif has just 4 frames, so it's probably why it works despite its dimensions..

yeah I realized after I posted that, its less than half the size of my lost gif too. oh well!

[samsikle]

okay this is SO effd i see people posting huge gifs with tons of frames like this one http://monsterman.tumblr.com/post/803262022/howling-ii-your-sister-is-a-werewolf-1985 and i got a blingee gif to work, but nothing else. is there any documentation about gif restrictions for posting on tumblr? i actually really want to figure it out

Animated GIFs

Since resizing animated GIFs is computationally intensive, large files (greater than 512K or wider than 500 pixels) may lose their animation if the upload server runs out of memory. Please avoid uploading unreasonably large animated GIFs.

I stopped posting after barely a week had gone by. Tumblr seems so limited by their themes. Back to blogspot!

If the theme really matters to you just edit it yourself

[Osmosis Jones]

It's not just that though. Blogspot seems like it has more in-depth features (not that I use them all the time) but tumblr seems almost... lacking. It really does seem like it's more oriented towards reblogging or posting photos/videos/audio than actual writing...

I'm probably talking to the wrong crowd about this though.

i think you are looking for something more like livejournal

this thread is for myspace

[NatseOklim]

^It IS more suited to reblogging/e-scrapbooking. Personally it's why I use it, I don't understand why anyone would use it for large amounts of writing. Especially once you start following people and you realise what a large part following (and then viewing their posts in your dashboard) is of tumblr.

Think of it as a visual twitter.

[Hocus Pocus]

Yeah, I just use it as a record the cool shit I've found on the internet.

[freecat]

same here, also i've seen some tumblrs with a lot of text but i don't think anyone read it.

I post more text than anyone on tumblr. I don't give a fuck.

[sidneylo]

Instead of finding the same shit posted in various blogs and collegehumor websites, I get the same shit posted in one streamlined dashboard.

It's hard to maintain a large group of people to follow if the content is all the same, so I appreciate articles, text, or anything that deviates from the circle-jerking reblog system that Tumblr implements.

[DüM]

all valid points

also blogspot sucks. Use wordpress if you want to be all those features.

yours is a cas à part, and it's always interesting reading. i've got a firefox window full of tabs with texts from your blog that i need to read btw.

Runnin' a blogspot is kind of like applying for a job with an aol email address. (Though, I will say landho has a pretty good blogspot.)

[Guest on-display]

When I tell people I have a blog, they get surprised and they automatically assume its me writing about how my day went or my feelings or some shit.

YMFY i enjoy reading your text posts

[DüM]

yeah, because tumblrs are more like ffffound pages than blogs.

i started a new tumblr which is going to be a bunch of pictures of cool records i find in thrift stores. this collection is seriously getting out of hand, i wanted to do something fun with them.

[willy cheesesteak]

is there any way to make everthing in a theme(quotes/texts/videos/music/photos) to 600px instead of 500px? i'm not talking about full resolution either.

i cant view my tumblr feed in public because theres too much kpop and vaginas

is there any way to make everthing in a theme(quotes/texts/videos/music/photos) to 600px instead of 500px? i'm not talking about full resolution either.

first make your #wrapper div 600px or bigger

#wrapper {

width: 540px;

height: auto;

margin: 20px auto;

}

this sets the attributes of these classes, it's 500 now. change it to 600.

.quotePost, .textPost, .audioPost,

.photoPost, .videoPost, .chatPost,

.linkPost {

width: 500px;

height: auto;

margin: 0 0 40px 0;

padding: 15px 20px;

position: relative;

background-color: #FFFFFF;

-moz-border-radius: 5px;

-webkit-border-radius: 5px;

}

also change this since it gives a width and remove the margin and padding if you want the quote to be 600

blockquote {

width: 450px;

margin: 10px;

padding: 0 0 0 12px;

border-left: 3px solid #000000;

}

is there any kind of way to insert if statements into a theme?

my theme automatically makes photos 700px wide even if they're smaller. i'm trying to find a way to default to 700px if there actually is a hi-res version of the photo, otherwise default to 500px

there's this {block:HighRes} {/block:HighRes} thing where it'll execute that if there's a hi-res version, but i'm not sure how to incorporate that along with the standard 500px version at the same time without double posting the photo

I have the same problem with nudies on my dashboard haha.

Anyone have suggestions or online reading material?

[fruitbrute]
