Tumblr Profile Picture Tutorial: Add Cool
Profile Pictures to Tumblr
Portrait Picture
Your portrait picture is
not the one that you see on your dashboard or the icon that is shown when you
follow someone. Your Tumblr Blog should have its own profile picture that you
can access through the site options.
If however you wish to
enter a profile image/picture go with your Tumblr description box then here is
how:
Upload a photo to your
Tumblr blog, which can be done via Blog settings.
Use the portrait photos option,
and then go to “customize theme” and to “edit Html”.
Once your Html is open,
enter the code:
<div><a
href="/"><img src="/{PortraitURL-128}"
/></a></div>
Each of the themes on
Tumblr are a little different, but if you search for a tag {description} and add
your code before or after, then you will probably be golden.
After doing this, you
should update your preview, then save it and close it.
You can have your picture
come up in any of the following sizes
{PortraitURL-16} or
{PortraitURL-24} or
{PortraitURL-30} or
{PortraitURL-40} or
{PortraitURL-48} or
{PortraitURL-64} or
{PortraitURL-96}
Picture in Description
box
If you would like to pop
an image in your description box, then try firstly to upload your picture and
copy the URL. Go to “Customize” and then to “Info”.
Once you are in the
description box, add the code below where you see it says “imageurl”
<br/> <img
src=”IMAGEURL”/> <br/>
Save, close and preview your
theme to see the picture. If you would then like to link this picture to an even
bigger picture then you must add the code below, so that it will surround the
picture code.
<a
href=”YOURBIGGERPICURLHERE”>
<img
scr=”PROFILEPICURL”/>
</a>
If your picture is not
showing up on your Tumblr, then the description section may not be there. In
that case you will have to copy/paste the code below in the part of the sidebar
that you think is best.
<section
id=”subheader”>
{Description}
</section>
Sending Pictures
If you do not want to
categorize your blog, then sending photos is very simple and fast. Sent the
photo so that it will appear as a ticket (as on all blogs), however, if you
want to put each picture in a different category, you must use various
techniques to send your photos.
You can send it as a
ticket:
Go to your dashboard and
then in the relevant blog click the "Photo", then "Choose
File". Pick up your file on your hard drive and click OK. Add your
description if desired. If you want to put an additional link to your image,
click "Add link". Finally, click on "Publish post"
Send it in a class:
To put a picture in a
category, go through the menu "Customize Appearance" and edit the
pages that you created by your categories. Go to the "Pages" in your
account profile by clicking "Edit". It is advisable to put the images
in the same format, the same width, for a page to look better (800 pixels per
side for example). The new page opens,
click on "Add Photo" between the two boxes. Once uploaded, your image
will appear in the box. Go to the line by clicking on "Enter". You
can then add text, a link, bold, italic, etc. Press again "Add Photo"
to put more images on this page.
