How to add infinite scrolling to any theme*:
Follow the simple instructions on this page but if you use endless scrolling remember to remove the Pagination blocks so you don’t have forward and back buttons. I recommend you don’t use Option 1 as if you have a header, it shows up at the end of every page.
*Any theme by any creator except my Sleep Wave theme. Also please check the theme does not already include an infinite scroll option in the Appearance menu!

How to make pages and add links to external websites:
Click the page tab whilst on the customize page and make a new page, make a name for the page, write whatever you want to show up and tick the box that says “Show a link to this page” and then in the box next to it put what you want the link to be (what people will click to go to the page). If you want to make a link to your facebook for example, create a new page, select page type “Redirect”, paste the url of the page you want people to be taken to into the URL box, tick Show a link to this page, and title it accordingly! Note, you cannot make a new page for tagged posts, you would need to use a redirect for that. For example blogname.tumblr.com/tagged/tagname and if the tag you want is more than one word like “self portrait” then you need to add an underline between the words so the link would become blogname.tumblr.com/tagged/self_portrait but remember, in the URL box you cannot use “/tagged” you can make the URL anything you want because it’s going to redirect anyway.

How do I change this/that?
I do not help you to alter my themes, please do not ask “just in case”, I will not answer them. If you Google the specific thing you want to change, you will no doubt be able to find a tutorial or a forum where people can help you, but I do not have the time to personally tutor you on css/html so please, I must stress, do not ask as you will be wasting both our times. I suggest trying to learn some basic html/css anyway, as it is a useful tool to know.
