argh, Tumblr is horrible

Jesus fucking Christ, why do people claim Tumblr is such a great interface?

I stupidly made an actual post over there, and now I have driven myself to tears of rage and frustration because I can't figure out how to edit it. I can't even click on it, because I accidentally didn't give it a title and that seems to have made it unclickable.

Help, please!?!


ETA: Crisis possibly averted, because I have worked out that the default theme doesn't let you do anything and switched to a theme that, by sheer good fortune, does. Still, what a terrible terrible posting interface.

The interface is srsly evil.

To edit, mouseover the post on your dash or your username.tumblr page and look for a tiny triangle to appear in the top right corner of the post in question. Click that -- it's the direct link to the post itself. Once that loads, at top right a menu will appear that gives you an Edit link.

At least this is how it works on my layout. I don't know if it's different between different layouts. Knowing tumblr, it probably is...so, good luck?
