Tumblr Help [+16]

[Richie]

Hey,
I'm not quite sure why but my facebook, twitter and rss feed icons won't seem to link to the correct places.

also there is a huge gap between the text and the icons

Make sure you use links like 'http://facebook.com' and not 'www.facebook.com' as the second will think you're going to somewhere inside the website instead. http is key!

Secondly you've got that huuuge gap because somewhere in your code there's loads of </br> tags :P

Haha such a silly mistake, as for the second part there is no breaks but I did have to resort to putting the icons in a table because without the table they were going vertical. Any ideas?

Are you very, positively sure? :P The table is fine, no problems- check your Tumblr code and make sure you don't see this section:

Ah got it, there was a few spaces I didn't think classed as breaks, cheers.


Another thing, any idea how I can add new pages to the nav at the top / remove them?

[hamheyelliot]

Edit: Gotcha.

Can you add new menu items via the usual method- adding new pages in the Tumblr Customise area and clicking 'Show in navigation' or something?

[Richie]

Yeah, that's the right place already I think- it should be nestled there.

Try clicking in the big text box, hitting CTRL+F and typing <br> until you see them all.

Ah it still doesn't show up pal, never mind though, it's sorted, cheers again.

Within the Customize panel, head to Pages > New Page, in the popup at the bottom it should say 'Show a link to this page', tick it and save.

They're in the code somewhere as well, I'll PM you when I get back onto a regular PC!
