Inspired by the neverending cavalcade of madness over at GIF ANIME and needing a more effective way to display my hundreds of posts, I decided to implement Proto-JP’s Tumblr AutoPager.

Google Translate didn’t help me that much (view the translation) but by viewing the source on Proto-JP and GIF ANIME I figured that the AutoPager script code:

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://proto.jp/js/tumblrAutoPager.js”></script>

goes somewhere after

<div id=”description”>

on your Tumblr theme’s “Custom HTML” source code  (To see your theme’s source code, go to Customize and then select “Theme” from the top bar).

It worked on my first try!  The only thing left for me to do was define the link colors for my page (which also made the links to my hasty Disqus implementation look better) and I was ready to go.

User alvareo noted that it’s easier to implement AutoPager than I described!  Go to Customize like I said but instead of selecting “Theme” and digging around in all that HTML, just click on “Info” instead and paste the AutoPager script code there!

User colamonstrosity claims that it works for her - I visited her page and I agree with her.  I’m leaving my AutoPager code where it is.  I don’t want to mess around with mine - it ain’t broke so I ain’t fixing it.

Some folks are also saying that you must retype the quotation marks in the script after you’ve copied and pasted them into your theme’s source code.  I will try to fix that here.  I also recommend that you try copying and pasting the code into a plain text editor like Notepad on Windows first, recopying, and then pasting into your theme’s source code.

I should also note that several themes now come with an autopager-like feature as an option.

Thanks for the PROTIPS, folks!
