In-Depth Information
Keep in mind that when editing a
published
post you may not have access to every op-
tion offered when creating the
original
post. For example, some of the general
posting options on the sidebar, such as Let People Photo Reply, may be absent
when editing. For this reason, it's important to proofread and preview your posts
prior to publishing (say that ten times fast!) to ensure that each one is exactly the
way you want it to be.
Of course, if you really need to edit things that you can't edit, you can always
copy the content from your original post into a new post and re-create it with the
missing features/content. After the new post is up, the old one can be deleted.
Editing a post
To edit a published Tumblr post, follow these steps:
1. To enter editing mode, click the name of your site at the top right of the page on
the Dashboard, or select your site from the My Blogs icon menu.
This will show you a list of all your posts from the selected blog with the most re-
cent post at the top of the screen.
If needed, use your browser's scroll bars to scroll down the page until you
find the post you want to edit. As you scroll down, you should see an arrow in the
upper right of the browser window. Clicking that arrow will take you immediately to
the top of the page.
2. Click the gray Edit link on the right side of the post you'd like to edit.
When you hover your cursor over the post you'd like to edit, the top-right corner of
the post shows a folded edge, as shown in Figure 5-1.

Click the Edit link on the individual post you'd like to edit.
3. When the Edit page appears, make the changes to your post.
