FYI, if you like tumblr’s day pages but wish there was an easy way to actually access them, I wrote up a little script a while back that generates a calendar via javascript. You can see what the calendar looks like here.
If you want to add it for yourself, this is all you have to do:
1. Create a new page.
2. Switch to the HTML source view.
3. Paste in the following code:
<script src="http://static.tumblr.com/rzrxoug/4vfm7xvcv/calendr.js" type="text/javascript"></script>And that will automatically create a calendar for the current year, up to the current month.
Suppose you want the calendar to go back from 2011, or from any particular day. Just add parameters to the script, like so:
<script src="http://static.tumblr.com/rzrxoug/4vfm7xvcv/calendr.js?year=2011&month=3&day=24" type="text/javascript"></script>In that example, the calendar will start linking days on March 24, 2011.
* Note - the script will create links for days that don’t have any posts, but checking whether not a post exists on a certain day would take a ton of hits on tumblr’s servers, so the script will just link all days in the time range.
Add a ‘search by date’ option to your blog. A hell of a lot more useful than waiting forever for the archive page to...
