How do you add commentary to a chat post on Tumblr?
A coworker overheard a great conversation about “The Tweets” and it wasn’t until I was ready to post it that I realized I couldn’t make an additional comment about the chat outside of the chat in the chat post.
I guess an alternative would be to manually close the chat div in the entry box, but I think that would also require opening the a div again before the end so the rest of the page doesn’t get screwed up by prematurely closing a larger element or getting one of those lame Line XX: Closing a </div> that was not open messages when validating the HTML.
Edit: It looks like the chat post entry box disables the ability to close the div. The alternative then becomes creating a text post and opening a chat div in the text post so it can be closed and additional commentary can be posted outside the box.
To add an emphasized comment like (OH by U.V.) and I heartily believe this is a humorous exchange …
This entry in a “Chat” post:
Person 1: Have you heard about the tweets? My son keeps doing the tweet.
Person 2: Oh yeah, my daughter loves to do the tweet.
Person 1: What is the tweet? Why do they want it?
Becomes this entry in a “Text” post:
<div class=”conversation” style=”margin-bottom: 10px;”>
<ul>
<li>
<span class=”label”>Person 1:</span> Have you heard about the tweets? My son keeps doing the tweet.
</li>
<li>
<span class=”label”>Person 2:</span> Oh yeah, my daughter loves to do the tweet.
</li>
<li>
<span class=”label”>Person 1:</span> What is the tweet? Why do they want it?
</li>
</ul>
</div>
