Tutorial: How to show text when hover on image

Hello everyone!  This is a quick and easy-Tutorial: How to show text when hover on image. I try many HTML codes to see if they work in Tumblr and I found one that enables you to add text when someone hovers the mouse on the photo or image. Here's a quick look from my example blog:


Note: Code only works on a HTML theme. Not on posting messages.

1. First COPY the following code:


• Now let's add the code on your Tumblr Blog.
• Log into your Tumblr Account.
• Find the Account Settings. 



2. Now find the Website Theme  + Edit Theme.

• PASTE the code where you want to have the photo: sidebar, top bar, etc. On my example blog I add the photo on the right-sidebar. Now you have to change some of the properties of the HTML code use the next photo as an example:



(click on the photo for a bigger view)


• Replace the Image URL with yours.
• Change the "Welcome to Tumblog-it! with the text you want to have when  a
visitor hovers on the photo.
• You can change the width and height however you want to.

• Click on Update Preview -- if you like it simply lick SAVE then CLOSE. It should look like:

Tutorial: Add an Image Header on Tumblr (Technique #1 and #2)


Hello Everyone! Want to add a Image Header but just don't know how? There's 2-simple ways to do it.


• First we need to make the banner/image we want to use. Using a program like Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or even Paint will allow us to make the banner. If you don't have any programs to use, you can  make the banner on the following internet pages:

- http://quickbanner.net/ (allows you to customize font, size and background of the banner)
- http://www.flashvortex.com/ (ads-look-alike banner)

I will try to search for more available banner-maker websites, but till now I have only found those 2 safe websites. The other's activate Tumblr security system.

• Step 2. Once you have your banner using the website or program, we need to "upload" the banner to Tumblr. You can use: Tumblr upload static file or a free image host. If you don't know any here's a few FREE and safe image host you can use:
- http://tinypic.com/
- http://imageshack.us/
- http://www.postimage.org/

• Step 3. Now we have the banner. Let's go add it to  your Tumblr Blog.
○ Log in your Tumblr Account.
○ Find the Customize Theme Settings. If you don't know how visit: Tutorial: Where is the “Customize Theme” Option? (New Tumblr Design!)

• Now here's the important part. There's 2 techniques you can use to Add a Image Header on your Tumblr Blog. Let's start with the simplest one, and if you don't like it, try the second one.

○                 ○                 ○

1. Copy the following code:
 <img src="url" alt="some_text"/>

2. Paste the code below your <head> tag.
3. Change the URL for you banner URL.
4. Click on Update Preview and see how it looks like. If you like it, click on Save then Close.


○                 ○                 ○
                                            
Technique #2

1. Find the following code on your theme:
<div id="title"><a href="/">{Title}</a></div>
(use Control + F to find it faster)
 
2. Replace that code with this one:
<a href="/"><img src="Header_URL">

3. Replace the Header_URL with your banner URL link.
4. Click on Update Preview and if you like how it looks like, click on Save then Close.

National Voter Registration Day from Tumblr Staff

From Tumblr Staff:
Next Tuesday, September 25, is National Voter Registration Day 
In 2008, 6 million Americans didn’t vote because they missed a registration deadline or didn’t know how to register. In 2012, resources to educate and mobilize voters have dwindled, fueling worries that many folks - especially young people - won’t turn out. We want to make sure no one is left out, so we’ve partnered with volunteers, celebrities, and organizations from all over the country who are hitting the streets on September 25.
If you’re not registered, or need to renew your registration, check out www.tumblr.com/meetups to find an event near you. 

If you’re already registered - or if there’s no event near you - organize your own NVRD meetup at www.tumblr.com/meetups/organize. We’ll send you everything you need! For more info, follow NVRD on Tumblr and look for the tag 925NVRD.

good news!

hello! long time no see!
i've gotten a couple of asks/messages on my tumblr asking about my theme making and i must say that they have inspired me to come back. to be honest, it was about 3 messages, but it as enough, lol. and i also missed coding. :( ♥
so yes, i will be returning! yay!
disregard the previous post about my leaving! it has been deleted. consider it only a hiatus.

however, i still find it difficult to work with the tumblr customize page, but i think i have found a way around that. on top of that, summer is over and i have already started school, so that leaves me less with my computer. /sob
i will try to update with themes or blogroll layouts at least once a month, like before, but this seems highly unlikely. i'm not too sure when the first theme will be posted, but i hope it's soon.
to start, i have updated villianz with a new layout! i really love this one and it's soft on the eyes. i hope you like it too.

and again, i thank those few who have been kind enough to tell me that they enjoy my themes. ilu all. ;u; ♥♥

a tagborad is currently unavailable, so if you have any theme/code related question, please send them here. if you have any personal questions for me, please send them here (please do, i love those!).

thank you for reading and i do apologize for any in convinces.
live well~ ♥

ps. i will most likely still be one a hiatus for a month or two. (blame school.)

Hello Everyone! Remember the Rainbow Text Tutorial? There's another website! -- Glitter-graphics.com, allows you to convert any text into rainbow! There's one small difference from Glitter-graphics.com than the previous tutorial you won't be able to choose how many rainbows you can add to the text.

Let's start making some rainbows, shall we?

2. Now where it says "TYPE YOUR TEXT HERE" write whatever text you want to change into rainbow colour.
3. Click on GENERATE CODE.


4. Choose the option that says COPY THIS HTML CODE and copy-it.


5. Let's Log in your Tumblr. On the DASHBOARD find the Customize Theme.
6. Click on the EDIT HTML and PASTE the code where you want to have the rainbow text.
7. Remember to UPDATE PREVIEW to see how the text looks -- if you like it just click SAVE and then CLOSE. And you're done!

Note: If you're trying to send the rainbow text as a post (Aa) it won't work. I try already to send my rainbow text as a post on the dashboard but it didn't work only appears underline. It does work on your Tumblr blog.
