Tumblr Typing/Moving/Scrolling Title Code
By adding some Tumblr Codes to your Theme html, you can have the already classic Typing Title in your browser bar/tab. This moving title has nothing to do with the Tumblr Header Title (much easier to use an animated gif instead). You can choose to have multiple Titles as well, and if you have several tasks (programs) opened in Windows, and your Tumblelog happens to be one of those, you will notice that the Tumblr Moving Title shows up in the toolbar as well. You can first take a look at mrtumblring.
How To Insert a Moving/Typing Title to your Tumblr Browser Tab
- Once signed in, click on the specific blog dashboard if you have more than one.
- Click on Customize Appearance, then click on edit HTML
- Paste the following javascript code right below the <head> tag:
- Change the words, FIRST LINE, SECOND LINE and THIRD LINE, to whatever Tumblr Scrolling Title you want, each one will be displayed in an infinite loop.
- Click on update preview, then click on appearance and finally hit SAVE.
<script type="text/javascript">
function tb8_makeArray(n){
this.length = n;
return this.length;
}
tb8_messages = new tb8_makeArray(3);
tb8_messages[0] = "FIRST LINE";
tb8_messages[1] = "SECOND LINE";
tb8_messages[2] = "THIRD LINE";
tb8_rptType = 'infinite';
tb8_rptNbr = 5;
tb8_speed = 100;
tb8_delay = 2000;
var tb8_counter=1;
var tb8_currMsg=0;
var tb8_tekst ="";
var tb8_i=0;
var tb8_TID = null;
function tb8_pisi(){
tb8_tekst = tb8_tekst + tb8_messages[tb8_currMsg].substring(tb8_i, tb8_i+1);
document.title = tb8_tekst;
tb8_sp=tb8_speed;
tb8_i++;
if (tb8_i==tb8_messages[tb8_currMsg].length){
tb8_currMsg++; tb8_i=0; tb8_tekst="";tb8_sp=tb8_delay;
}
if (tb8_currMsg == tb8_messages.length){
if ((tb8_rptType == 'finite') && (tb8_counter==tb8_rptNbr)){
clearTimeout(tb8_TID);
return;
}
tb8_counter++;
tb8_currMsg = 0;
}
tb8_TID = setTimeout("tb8_pisi()", tb8_sp);
}
tb8_pisi()
</script>
NOTE: Don’t mistake Tumblr Typing/Moving Title Status Bar for blinking or flashing Titles, again, that is within the page itself, not in your Firefox, IE or Chrome status bar browser.
