3 Must Have Features On Tumblr Blog

I know this is a Google Blogger blog, but I am also running few other automated blog on Tumblr. Tumblr is a great blogging platform, but it is lacking some good features like WordPress had.

Here are 3 must have features to put on your Tumblr blog.

1. Redirect 404 page not found error to a random page. 

2. Tag Cloud with different color.
 
3. Related blog post with thumbnail.


It will be nice to show page like that on Tumblr. This is how you do it.

1. Redirect 404 page not found error to any random page on Tumblr.
If you < header> section add the following code. Remember to remove the white space after the < symbol.
< script type="text/javascript">
$( init );
function init() {
var pageTitle = $('h2').text();
if (pageTitle == "Not Found"){
$('p').replaceWith( "< p>r />< h3>Loading Smile ...< /h3>< /p>" );
location.href = 'http://www.smilemyday.com/random';
}}
< /script>

2. Add tag cloud. I was using other Javabased tag cloud and decided to switch over to the iframe based tag cloud for Tumblr blog. Visit Pretty Tag Cloud Maker!

 3. Add related post link. I was using LinkWithIn.com's Javascript and find it comflicted with the random 404 page direct script. So I change it to the greater http://nrelate.com/ for Tumblr as well.

With a small customization, it will look like this on the website.


What do you think? It makes the Tumblr Blog looks great!
