I'd help you but I'm a dummy when it comes to this :( Good luck though! :blush:
 
i used to work with tumblr layouts but i havent done it in awhile, so my knowledge on it is poor by this point--but i'll modify it and see what i can do. do you mind if i use it on my tumblr to test everything out?

No, I don't mind at all. Trying is all you can do.
 
[size=-2]Some questions:

What browser are you using to edit/save?

When you say the pages, are you talking about the links like "Archive, ask, about me" etc or something else?[/size]

I'm using FireFox.

I'm talking about pages I've created myself. I have a submit page, but that's it for Tumblr things. If it makes any difference, all of the pages I have redirect to things. My art page redirects to all posts tagged with "art" and my blog page redirects to all posts tagged with "blog". The others redirect you automatically to other websites I've joined.

Also, I don't know if this would help explain my issue, but all of my pages go in the correct order until I make the fifth page. It goes in the order of Home, Art, Music, Videos, and when I add Books, Books comes after art instead of music. There's also a Blog page I wanted to add, but that goes in front of Art when I try to add it. It seems like every page I make after the fifth page goes in front of Art for some reason.

Here's a shot of it for clarity:

that html is a mess and i dont even kno wat u actually want done

Well, I wouldn't expect someone who couldn't spell or punctuate to work with HTML coding. Then again, there's only so much I can do with it. Maybe you'd surprise me.
 
Bump.

It's not that big of a deal if I can't have the page order I want, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't bug me. I could really do with some help.
 
I fiddled with that particular theme on a spare blog and found a possible solution for ya.

First, make sure you don't hit "show a link to this page" when you make/edit pages.

Then, you can use the theme's "Direct link URL #" and "Direct link title #" options to show your pages in the order you wish. So, if you list the pages in the order of Home, Art, Music, Videos, Books, and Blog, it'll all be in that order. Here's a screenshot.

Also, even though the theme only comes with six of these, you can add more into the HTML code, should you need to.

First, find the part of the code that says all this:
HTML:
	<meta name="text:Direct link URL one" content=''/>
	<meta name="text:Direct link title one" content=''/>
	<meta name="text:Direct link URL two" content=''/>
	<meta name="text:Direct link title two" content=''/>
	<meta name="text:Direct link URL three" content=''/>
	<meta name="text:Direct link title three" content=''/>
	<meta name="text:Direct link URL four" content=''/>
	<meta name="text:Direct link title four" content=''/>
	<meta name="text:Direct link URL five" content=''/>
	<meta name="text:Direct link title five" content=''/>
	<meta name="text:Direct link URL six" content=''/>
	<meta name="text:Direct link title six" content=''/>
and just copy/paste additional URL and title lines with different names, such as
HTML:
		<meta name="text:Direct link URL Seven" content=''/>
		<meta name="text:Direct link title Seven" content=''/>

then also find this in the code:
HTML:
{block:IfDirectLinkUrlOne}
					<li>
						<a href="{text:Direct link URL One}" class="direct-link" {Target}>
						{block:IfDirectLinkTitleOne}{text:Direct link title One}{/block:IfDirectLinkTitleOne}
						{block:IfNotDirectLinkTitleOne}{lang:Link}{/block:IfNotDirectLinkTitleOne}
						</a>
					</li>
					{/block:IfDirectLinkUrlOne}

					{block:IfDirectLinkUrlTwo}
					<li>
						<a href="{text:Direct link URL Two}" class="direct-link" {Target}>
						{block:IfDirectLinkTitleTwo}{text:Direct link title Two}{/block:IfDirectLinkTitleTwo}
						{block:IfNotDirectLinkTitleTwo}{lang:Link}{/block:IfNotDirectLinkTitleTwo}
						</a>
					</li>
					{/block:IfDirectLinkUrlTwo}

					{block:IfDirectLinkUrlThree}
					<li>
						<a href="{text:Direct link URL Three}" class="direct-link" {Target}>
						{block:IfDirectLinkTitleThree}{text:Direct link title Three}{/block:IfDirectLinkTitleThree}
						{block:IfNotDirectLinkTitleThree}{lang:Link}{/block:IfNotDirectLinkTitleThree}
						</a>
					</li>
					{/block:IfDirectLinkUrlThree}

					{block:IfDirectLinkUrlFour}
					<li>
						<a href="{text:Direct link URL Four}" class="direct-link" {Target}>
						{block:IfDirectLinkTitleFour}{text:Direct link title Four}{/block:IfDirectLinkTitleFour}
						{block:IfNotDirectLinkTitleFour}{lang:Link}{/block:IfNotDirectLinkTitleFour}
						</a>
					</li>
					{/block:IfDirectLinkUrlFour}

					{block:IfDirectLinkUrlFive}
					<li>
						<a href="{text:Direct link URL Five}" class="direct-link" {Target}>
						{block:IfDirectLinkTitleFive}{text:Direct link title Five}{/block:IfDirectLinkTitleFive}
						{block:IfNotDirectLinkTitleFive}{lang:Link}{/block:IfNotDirectLinkTitleFive}
						</a>
					</li>
					{/block:IfDirectLinkUrlFive}

					{block:IfDirectLinkUrlSix}
					<li>
						<a href="{text:Direct link URL Six}" class="direct-link" {Target}>
						{block:IfDirectLinkTitleSix}{text:Direct link title Six}{/block:IfDirectLinkTitleSix}
						{block:IfNotDirectLinkTitleSix}{lang:Link}{/block:IfNotDirectLinkTitleSix}
						</a>
					</li>
					{/block:IfDirectLinkUrlSix}

and do the same copy/paste with whatever meta names you chose. Following the above example, you'd add this:
HTML:
					{block:IfDirectLinkUrlSeven}
					<li>
						<a href="{text:Direct link URL Seven}" class="direct-link" {Target}>
						{block:IfDirectLinkTitleSeven}{text:Direct link title Seven}{/block:IfDirectLinkTitleSeven}
						{block:IfNotDirectLinkTitleSeven}{lang:Link}{/block:IfNotDirectLinkTitleSeven}
						</a>
					</li>
					{/block:IfDirectLinkUrlSeven}

Hope this helps!

Yeah, I have to agree. I've known KarlaKGB for years and they can spell just fine. That was pretty rude, Bowie :/

Thank you so much! I'll give this a try later.

Hey, I didn't mean to come off as rude. Me and Karla don't have that great of a history (for partially good reason), and it's probably just me assuming there's still a slight trace of bitterness. Sorry.

It's fine, don't worry about it. Not my place to butt in anyway :)
