Changing messy Tumblr URL

blogtumblrurl

On Tumblr we keep getting really messy URLs generated for our blog posts. Is there any way that this can be changed?

For instance, in the example bellow, the blogs title is ‘Playing with scale and proportion’ so I’d like the URL to read

/post/playing-with-scale-and-proportion

without all the numbers in-between.

I don't think you can do that on Tumblr.

All those "messy numbers" is the Tumblr's Globally Unique Post ID. The part that follows (the "slug") has no identifying purpose on Tumblr -- All that matters is the Post ID.

For example, these are all equivalent URLs:

  • my-blog.tumblr.com/post/123456789/my-post-slug-that-tumblr-generated
  • my-blog.tumblr.com/post/123456789
  • my-blog.tumblr.com/123456789
