How To Put a Banner on Tumblr. Quick Tutorial.
- Grab your tumblr banner code that you obtained from the sites above.
- Now, this is very important, you must get rid of all the extra code that surrounds the banner image, since you just need the image url, which usually ends in a .jpg, .gif or png extension.
- Go to Customized >> Edit HTML and with ctlr+f, look for the opening body tag, which usually looks like this <body>. Sometimes these tags have ids and classes added, but most of the time you can find them by looking for <body alone
- Now, copy the following code and paste right after the body tag:
- Change TUMBLRBANNER and replace it with your tumblr banner image url you have.
- Change TUMBLRURL with the url of your tumblr blog (you can of course get rid of the url by deleting the opening and ending a tags)
- Now, start positioning your tumblr banner by modifying the top & left parameters until it fits right where you want it to be.
- Save and Close.
