it occurs to me that people might not know this (as far as I know, this is only a Beta option right now) but this is helpful for anyone who uses image ID. since I figured this out, I’ve started preemptively doing this to every picture I upload, though of course that means that the image’s description isn’t visibly in the post/caption which means no one realizes I’ve actually already described the thing but anyway
so here I am uploading a photo onto tumblr, as you do
I’m going to click on the little dots in the bottom right hand corner, which pulls up “update image description,” which pulls up a box.
And now I can put my description in the box.
Benefits include:
Having the description actually attached to the image, so the image description isn’t out of order in a post
Actually being part of Tumblr’s code instead of an ad hoc thing added to a post
