1. Making pages.

This is to do something like a FAQ page like I have here. Go to Customize, then click the pages tab, and finally click “Add a page.” It will open up a little box where you will get to choose your URL [username.tumblr.com/nameofyourpage], the layout, and title of your page. URL and title are up to you, but leave the layout on standard layout. At the bottom left corner there is an option to show a link to this page. Check that and save the page. Not all themes support this however and you might have to enter the coding for your page in manually.

2. Creating links out of tags.

This is to do something like my PHOTOGRAPHS link. Whenever I make a post that I want to appear on this page, I tag it as “Laura” before I publish it. Then whenever I go to the link http://dickcatchyourowngrenade.tumblr.com/tagged/laura , it will show the posts.

3. Editing your theme to make links on your blog.

Now that you’ve created a link for your page, either with step 1 or 2, you have to put it into your theme. Click on Customize -> Theme -> Custom HTML. This is the mildly tricky part. You need to find the section where all the rest of your links are. Most pages have an ask link, an RSS link, an archive link, etc. “CTRL+F” to search for whichever one you have and it should bring you to a section with all of your links. You’re going to create a button with the link of the page you want. It should look like this [without spaces]: < a href=”http://YOURBLOGNAME.tumblr.com/tagged/YOURTAG”> NAMEOFTHEBUTTON < /a> or simply < a href=”URL FROM STEP ONE”>NAMEOFTHEBUTTON< /a>. Paste that where you want the link to appear.

If you want the link in your info section, all you have to do is paste the link you created wherever you want. Make sure you remove the spaces, and make sure that you have quotation marks around the link, otherwise it won’t work.
