Add this to your description: <img src="http://whatever.com/path/to/image.jpg" alt="" />

You'll have to upload your image somewhere, and put the address to the image in the src attribute instead of the example address I used.

I just noticed that this happens in the API as well. Notice that the single-paragraph “Princess Unicorn” post got its <p> tags stripped, while the multi-paragraph post below maintains its markup intact.

Use {block:PostSummary}{PostSummary}{/block:PostSummary} instead. Works like a charm.

There’s a manual trackback option in Haloscan after you log in, where you can enter the URL of your post and the trackback URLs you want to ping, and they’ll send it for you. No need to get rid of Disqus.

The only way I can think of is doing it manually with Haloscan.

Hi Marc. This happens precisely with the plain text editor. I never use the TinyMCE editor, I compose all my posts in HTML using the plain text editor.

I think that post sounds harsher than I intended. I should mention that I love the platform, this is my only complaint about it, and I'll definitely try to go Pro next year, if I can afford it.

Why does Tumblr strip p tags from posts?

I noticed that Tumblr strips <p> tags from posts, but only when it's the only paragraph in the post. For example, if I post a link and I put this in the description:

<p>This is the description of my link.</p>

It gets rendered in my template without the <p> tags.

But if there's more than one paragraph, or if there are any other block-level elements in the post, then none of them get stripped out.

Why does it do this? It's annoying me a bit because I can't make my template and my posts look just the way I want. If I put the <p> tags myself in the template, like this:

            {block:Description}


                <p>{Description}</p>


            {/block:Description}

Then I would end up with stuff nested inside that <p> tag if I wrote a post with more than one paragraph. If I don't put the <p> tag in the template, I end up with unstyled text when the post is just one paragraph.

It would be nice if the template rendered my text exactly as I wrote it, without stripping any tags.

Check-in via Twitter

I was going to suggest adding the ability to check-in via IM, but then I found this: http://tinyurl.com/6ys3wa

So maybe an alternative would be to send a direct message to a dedicated Twitter account (“d brightkite @home”). That way we could just use Twitter’s Jabber bot, which seems pretty stable.
