pessimis-deactivated20120112 asked: I am feeling incredibly frustrated for the lack of help the internet provides for my problem. I just want to create a static homepage on Tumblr with a few links to actual (themed) posts.. Could you help me? Thank you so much :)
I’d say your best bet is to create the pages using the page adder and then edit your home page accordingly, You’ll have to directly edit the CSS and perhaps the HTML of your Tumblr (found in the custom HTML section of the theme editor), but if you try and find a theme as close to what you’re after as possible then it should be relatively easy. You can create and style static divs (or elements) by adding divs like this<div id=”largephoto”><img src=”http://linktoimage.blah”</div> and then add to your CSS #largephoto {insert styling here width:300px;float:left; etc} so this would insert a picture of your choice depending on what image you selected, if you want to add images this way (without uploading them to your page via the tumblr method) then you’ll have to host the images online somewhere like photobucket etc and use the URL to place them.
I can’t answer you too well as I’m still not exactly sure what you’re wishing to do, but it sounds like you’re trying to make a website out of a blog. If this helps at all then great, if not, contact me with a more detailed description of what you wish to do and how far you’ve got so far.
Thanks, Sofi
