I have my tumblr all set up and it works perfectly. However, I'm strapped for cash and can't afford to purchase a domain name at this time, so I thought I would use my index page on tumblr to act as the landing page for my portfolio. So when I visit name.tumblr.com, instead of seeing a list of blog entries, it looks just like a normal website. I've done, and that works perfectly as well. (It's not too professional, but I figure having something like name.tumblr.com looks a little better than name.freehosting.com.)
The problem arises when I take what used to be my tumblr index page and do a straight up copy and paste of the code into a new tumbr page (ie, name.tumblr.com/blog-page). Now when I visit name.tumblr.com/blog-page, my posts don't load. My stylesheet and all my graphics load, but the posts don't.
I was wondering if there was a way to make this work, to use a sub-page in tumblr as my blog rather than having it display on the index page.
No. There is no way to do what you want.
There are other ways to fix your situation:
make all your posts private until you buy domain;
make your blog non-indexed with special metatag until you buy doamin;
use subdomain.

I'm working on a site to help students with ACT prep, and I want to have a page where I can post explanations to questions that people submit. I want to be able to put a few tags on each post so that site visitors can click on or search whatever's relevant for them in the archives ("semicolons", "geometry", etc.) and all the relevant posts will come up, blog style. I'm very new to this, though, and I don't know how to do it or even what to search - when I search for tags I keep getting SEO recommendations, and that doesn't seem like the right thing.
Here's a solution (but it's not great)
It might be the only way to make what you want happen with a static HTML site.
You could, by hand, create pages that you fill with links to all of the posts that fit a certain category or "tag". For example, you could make a page that has links to all of your posts concerning geometry. Lets call this your archive page for geometry.
Then, when you include tags in a post, you would make each tag link to it's corresponding archive page.
Why do I say its not the best solution?
Virtually every blog that you see has a "back end" with a database that stores posts. When someone comes to your website and looks at a post, that posts data is inserted into a template and displayed to the user. You do not have to re-write the entire web page every time. Thing like the header, sidebar, footer, main page background etc are all in a template.
Having a database also lets you search the database and return relevant results. And a blog with a back end will typically let you write rules (or have them already written) that say, when you add a "tag" to a post, a link to that post should be automatically added to an archive page etc.
As far as I can tell you don't have database, so you'll just be linking static HTML pages. That means that every time you make a new post, you'll have to add a link to all of it's relevant archive pages by hand. Maybe you don't mind that now, but eventually it will be a nightmare to maintain.
I would strongly encourage you to look into a blogging platform like Wordpress to make your site. It will be more complicated to learn at first, but technology that's meant to do what you want it to do will ultimately be easier to use and maintain than technology that's simply meant to mark up a page.
I'm creating a Shopify store for a client who does not obviously know coding. He will need to update content on the website (and I have coded some pages with certain layouts (in the html part of the content) so when he types his content it often breaks our design)
As an alternative solution, I'm thinking of using the blog feature.
I know Shopify lets us create a page with only a certain blog, but what it does is show up in the URL - as a ...blog/cocktails.
That is not good for the end user, because I merely want it to be a page that calls the blog articles from this blog. I'm unable to find a way to do it.
I tried replacing blog.content with blog['cocktail'].content and etc..
but it didn't do anything.
Alternatively are there any suggestions how you can design a page and let clients add their own content just by typing (for instances where its a list of recipes for example)?
I think it would be best to create a custom page template same as blog page.
It will solve your all problems(i think) because first your url problem will be solved by it user has to just assign a template from backend.
Second one most important user can update its content from backend and it will not disturb your html.
If you still have problems just customise html and css.
I hope it will help you.
I have a navbar, and in it right now I have links to various blogs on my site. I have that same markup throughout my site on all pages.
Here is the thing, when I start growing my site, how do I scale something like this? Right now, I have been going to each and every html page, and doing a copy/paste anytime I need a new link to it or something similar.
I'm sure there is a better way to do this.
so a s per the comment's above there is a slew of ways to go about doing this. One possibility, would be to keep each link as a varchar as well as possibly a title that you want to display for each blog post that would be displayed in the nav bar. then you could build your nav bar dynamicaly each time using a scripting language such as php, python, perl, nodejs etc. Im not sure if node.js will be supported by godaddy but undoubtedly the other would be. The approach you take will be a personal choice based on if you control when user upload content (like an administrator) or if uploads can happen freely. if you plan for uploads to happen freely you will most likely want a dynamic approach, However if You plan to have an administrator to oversee each new entry a static approach could be used and called to regenerate the nav. bar each time a new post is made available. Again, if you need some help getting this started you know where to find me!

What I need to do is add a banner/icon to a page that is says people are a part of our organization. Kind of like the icons at the bottom of this website, the peer1 hosting one or the cc-wiki one.
I however will have my own link and image, but I was wondering if someone can help me with some code that can do this. Thanks a lot!
Edit:
Okay let me rephrase this since it was unclear the first time
I want to be able to add a code snippet that people can add to their website, that will present a banner for a "Parent" site. This banner will link back to that site, and we would be able to gather statistics of who is linking to our site as well as how often. Is this possible with simple or tags.
I know some HTML, but my main languages are Java, C Sharp, and Objective C, so web stuff is definitely not my forte. My boss just came up to me and asked me to do this, and I truly do not know how. Thanks for any help!
You could always use something like:
<a href='http://parentsite.com/default.aspx?id=[the id of the sub-site]'>
<img src='http://parentsite.com/images/image.aspx?id=[the id of the sub-site]' />
</a>
That would create a link to the parent site, and render the web page as an image. IF you then put an img tag inside the web page then it would render as the image on the sub-site and you could also log a hit for that site. Putting the id on both means that, when the img tag loads, you can record the number of times that users have loaded any page with that image on it, and you can record the number of times that users click the link.
This may not be the most efficient way of doing this, but it is one way.
Something like this?
<img src="your_image" />
I've just set up a new website at http://www.elitefightkit.co.nz and we also have a Facebook page which I don't have the url to hand at the moment (but it's called Elite Fight Kit). I want to add Facebook like buttons to my website. I can understand how to add them for product pages but I want to have a 'join us on facebook' button at the base of the page in a footer I'm producing so visitors can be added to the list of people on our Facebook page. We're growing a nice group of people over there.
I've looked into the Facebook like button and it seems to suggest that when user clicks it (if configured correctly) a feed item will be added to the users profile to say they like my website and provide a link back to the site. It seems I either have them like the website or like the Facebook group. That's great BUT I wondered if there was a way to have them click the like button, add the link to the website but ALSO join them to our Facebook page. Is there a way or will that be two seperate buttons?
This article was helpful when looking into the Facebook like button: http://www.webmonkey.com/2010/04/adding-facebook-like-buttons-to-your-site-is-damn-easy/ it pretty much got me rolling, although the Facebook developer page wasn't too hard to get my head around either. :)
Hope someone has some experience with this that can throw some light on it for me. Thanks in advance!
I've looked into a similar request before but decided - given the current social plugin documentation - that it could only be done with two separate buttons. My advice would be to make the Like button on your website point to your Facebook page, with a prominent link back to your website from there. Without wanting to state the obvious, any wall posts that then appear for people liking your page will effectively advertise both!
