TUMBLR TIPS – GOING BACK IN TIME (ON YOUR DASHBOARD)

Say you've been scrolling your dashboard on Tumblr, and stop at a particular point. You go to bed, and the next day you want to get back to scrolling from where you left off.

If you copied the URL, you can just paste it back in your address bar, and you will be taken to the same spot in the chronology.

But what if you forgot to copy the URL? Well there's a way to go back in time.

If you click on the Home icon, you'll be taken to the latest post on the dashboard. The URL in the address bar is always:

https: //www.tumblr.com/dashboard

Hit the right arrow on your keyboard. This is the shortcut to take you to the previous page. (For a handy list of this and other keyboard shortcuts, make sure you're in Dashboard View – the usual view when you open Tumblr – and then click on the keyboard icon at the bottom right of the webpage.) Alternatively, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the button that says 'Next' to go to the previous page.

The URL should look like some version of this:

https: //www.tumblr.com/dashboard?max_post_id=731568565951643648

On my dashboard, this URL is for a webpage with the latest post timestamped 9:15AM 19 October 2023. (If you cut and paste this URL into the address bar in another window or tab, Tumblr will bring you back to the same webpage showing that post on the dashboard.)

The long number at the end of the URL (731568565951643648) indicates that webpage's place in your dashboard chronology. (Google reads this number out to me as "731 quadrillion 468 trillion 565 billion 951 million six hundred and forty-three thousand six hundred and forty-eight.") The bigger the number, the later the date.

If you make this number smaller, Tumblr will take you back to an earlier point on the dashboard.

Changing the digits toward the end of the number doesn't do much. You need to change the first few digits to make things really move.

Using the above URL as an example, if I type directly into the address bar and change:

731568565951643648

to

731468565951643648

Tumblr brings me to an earlier point in the chronology (more than 24 hours back), to a webpage whose latest post is timestamped 6:45AM on 18 October 2023. (In case you can't see the difference in the numbers above – I changed the fourth digit to a smaller one, replacing the '5' with '4' so '7315…..etc.' becomes '7314…..etc.')

Making the number even smaller takes you further back. For example, changing '7315…..etc.' to '6315…..etc.' takes me to a webpage with the latest post timestamped 2:18PM 10 October 2020.

And so on and so forth. You can actually jump backwards decades this way (I tried).

So if you can remember the approximate time you stopped scrolling the night before, change one of the first few digits in the number of the URL and Tumblr will show you a view of the dashboard closer to the last post you read. Once you get close, use the right arrow to move backward page by page.

One drawback though, is that you can't scroll forward after you've located the post you want. If you want to scroll forward from the located post, this is what I do:

First find the webpage of your dashboard containing the post you want (i.e., the last post you viewed) by following the instructions above and jumping back in time.

Then open a duplicate of this webpage on a second tab (right-click the mouse, and select 'Duplicate').

On this duplicate webpage, make the URL number larger to jump forward in time (say to post 'X').

Still on the second tab, use the right arrow (or the 'Next' button at the bottom of the page) to scroll backward to the last post that you viewed.

You can now scroll forward (on this second tab) as far as post 'X'.

Repeat the process to scroll forward beyond post 'X'.

Hope this information is useful!

(N.B. This is only for Tumblr on desktop – no idea if any of this has relevance to the app, because I don't use it. And Tumblr is constantly updating itself, so this info is only current as at 19 October 2023, and may change moving forward beyond that.)

Some Tumblr Tricks

1. Get a random blogpost from a blog

You like the content of a blog but theres just so much content and you want to see some older stuff? Great, just append /random to the URL and a random blogpost from that blog will be shown:

BLOGNAME.tumblr.com/random

2. Use Keyboard Shortcuts

When you are on your dashboard you can use the following keybinds:

J -> Scroll forward K -> Scroll backward L -> Like the current post N -> See the number of notes Shift + E -> Add post to your queue Shift + R -> Fast reblog Z + Tab -> Quickly switch between dashboard and blog Z + C -> Quickly compose a post Space -> View photoset in a lightbox or start playing a video post

3. More URL tricks

Show all posts with a specific tag:

BLOGNAME.tumblr.com/tagged/<tag>

Sort entries with a specific tag in chronological order

BLOGNAME.tumblr.com/tagged/<tag>/chrono

Get all Posts from a date

BLOGNAME.tumblr.com/day/JJJ/MM/TT

PS: Do not forget you can go totally crazy with the custom theme editor by for example adding a music player https://www.scmplayer.net/ or whatever. Make personal websites cringe again!

hey mindy mindy its me again (after that chaotic love poem lmaolmao) mwah mwah can u do like a notion guide post ?? like what would be helpful to add and also how you set yours up?? that would be so so helpful ilyily have the best day and sleep tight mwah mwah kiss kiss love xoxo, emily

hey emily! ✧

omg hi again!! (the love poem chaos was iconic btw, never apologize for that) you truly are my biggest fan (and i'm yours <3)

✧・゜: my notion setup: organized chaos but make it cute :・゜✧:・゜✧

so you asked about my notion setup and i'm soo excited to share because i've gone through approximately 500 iterations before finding what actually works for me! and by "works" i mean i've stuck with it for more than 3 weeks which is honestly a personal record.

the thing with notion is that it's so customizable it can be overwhelming?? like, i spent more time watching "perfect aesthetic notion tour" videos than actually using the app for the first month. classic me behavior.

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ getting started (without spiraling) ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

first things first - don't try to set up your entire life system at once! i made this mistake and abandoned notion for 2 months because it felt too overwhelming.

start with ONE area that's currently chaotic in your life. for me it was school assignments because i kept forgetting deadlines until 11pm the night before (and then panicking while eating peanut butter straight from the jar… not recommended).

my biggest tip is to not get caught up in making it pretty right away. i know that's like, counterintuitive coming from me, but functionality first, then we make it cute!

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ my actual setup ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

homepage: i have a super simple homepage with links to my main dashboards (school, blog, personal) and a little daily quote that changes. also a tiny photo of my cat judging me for motivation.

school dashboard: this is my most used section! i have a calendar view of assignments, a database of all my classes with linked notes, and reading tracker. the best part is the assignment database where i can filter by due date and subject.

blog dashboard: where i keep all my post ideas (like this one!), content calendar, and stats tracking. i also have a section for brands i want to work with someday (manifesting!).

personal dashboard: this has my habit tracker, journal prompts, and goals. i also keep recipes here because i was tired of screenshots getting lost in my camera roll.

reading nook: where i track books i've read/want to read with little ratings and notes. sometimes i write embarrassingly emotional reactions to plot twists that no one else will ever see.

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ the actually helpful stuff ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

okay so beyond the basic setup, here are things that have made notion actually useful for me:

templates!! i have templates for everything - blog posts, class notes, weekly planning. it saves so much time not starting from scratch.

linked databases are literally magic. i can have the same information show up in different places filtered different ways. like my assignments appear on my homepage as "due this week" but in my school dashboard i can see everything.

embeds are underrated. i embed my spotify playlists, google calendar, and pinterest boards so everything's in one place.

toggle lists for anything lengthy. they keep things looking clean but you can expand when needed.

color coding that actually means something. i used to just pick pretty colors but now each color has a purpose (red = urgent, blue = school, pink = blog, etc).

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ making it pretty (because we still care) ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

once the functionality is working, THEN we make it cute:

i use a consistent color palette across all pages (mostly soft pinks, lavender, and sage green)

custom icons for each page (there are free packs online or you can use emojis)

cover images that are cohesive (i use pinterest)

font consistency! i stick with the same headings and text styles

little decorative dividers between sections (just search "aesthetic dividers" and you'll find tons)

⋆.ೃ࿔:･ my honest thoughts ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

the truth is my notion isn't instagram-perfect all the time. some sections get messy when life gets busy, and that's fine! the beauty of it is you can always clean it up later.

the pages i actually use daily are pretty simple. it's the ones i rarely visit that look the most aesthetic (because they're not battle-tested with real life, lol).

start simple, find what actually helps you, and then make it pretty enough that you want to use it. that's the real secret!

let me know if you want more specific details about any part of my setup! i could literally talk about this forever (as you can probably tell from this novel of a response).

sending you the most organized vibes! hope this helps!!

xoxo, mindy 🤍

p.s. sleep tight to you too! currently writing this at 1am because i have no concept of proper sleep schedules

...and more in my shops! ♡ (and also some freebies on ko-fi/gumroad ;)

(ko-fi has every set, gumroad has ghibli, and etsy has everything BUT ghibli!)

I use these on my own notion all the time - it's amazing - definitely recommend! ✨👍🩷

How to Charge Mercedes Auxiliary Battery: A Quick Guide

If you’ve seen the “Auxiliary Battery Malfunction” warning light pop up on your dashboard, you’re not alone. Many Mercedes-Benz owners encounter this issue at some point, and while it may sound serious, it’s usually an easy fix. In this post, we’ll explain what the auxiliary battery does, what triggers the warning, and how to charge your Mercedes auxiliary battery safely.

What Is the Auxiliary Battery?

The auxiliary battery in a Mercedes is a small secondary battery that supports the main battery by powering specific electrical systems, such as the start/stop function, navigation, emergency call system, and climate control when the engine is off. Unlike the main battery, it doesn’t start the car but ensures the electronic components continue working properly.

What Does “Auxiliary Battery Malfunction” Mean?

When your vehicle displays auxiliary battery malfunction in Mercedes, it usually means the auxiliary battery is failing, not charging properly, or nearing the end of its life. In most cases, this won’t affect the drivability of your car immediately, but it’s a sign that you should take action soon to avoid electrical glitches.

How to Charge Mercedes Auxiliary Battery

Charging the auxiliary battery isn't complicated, but it’s important to follow the correct steps:

Locate the Auxiliary Battery: The battery is often located under the dashboard, behind the glove box, or in the trunk—depending on the model.

Disconnect the Battery Safely: Turn off your engine and unplug any accessories. Carefully disconnect the negative and then the positive terminal if needed.

Use a Smart Trickle Charger: Connect a low-amperage trickle charger to the battery. Make sure it’s compatible with AGM batteries, which are commonly used in Mercedes-Benz models.

Let It Charge Fully: Charging can take several hours. Avoid using high-powered chargers, as these may damage the small auxiliary battery.

Reconnect and Clear the Warning: After charging, reconnect the battery and start your vehicle. In many cases, the warning light will clear automatically. If not, a quick scan with a diagnostic tool may be needed.

Final Thoughts

If you’re seeing an auxiliary battery malfunction in Mercedes, don't panic. Most of the time, you can simply charge your Mercedes auxiliary battery or replace it with minimal hassle. Always refer to your owner's manual or consult a certified mechanic if you're unsure.
