This tutorial will explain how to create a blog signature that automatically attaches to the end of your post. Its very simple to do and will take under 5 minutes to make the needed changes to your blog. With all that said, thanks for reading this weeks Tecky Tuesday.

          Oh, in that case you haven’t changed over to the correct link from imgur. make sure that the http://xxxx.xxxx/xxxxx.jpg is wrote correctly.

    I had to scour the internet to find instructions on how to do this when I was remaking my blog, but all of the instructions I found were complicated and had me editing the html code. I wish I knew about this method back then!

    Hi. Where is the posts and comments on the settings of tumblr? I don’t have that on my settings page.

      Sadly, I don’t think they’re checking this page anymore, and things have apparently changed.

      I can’t believe how complicated it is to post a stinking signature on tumblr.

    Tumblr does not have a posts and comments option.
