Tumblr Search Engine Friendly Page Titles

UPDATE: So apparently Tumblr have an official template tag for this: {block:PostSummary}{PostSummary}{/block:PostSummary} - that makes it a bit easier :-)

I’ve always wondered why Tumblr never offered a feature to automatically append a search engine friendly post slug to the page title when viewing a permalink page.

I started fiddling around with the Tumblr theme tags, and managed to get it working. Now my Tumblr link, image and standard posts have their slug displayed in the page title bar. This should help with Google juice!

My template code is as follows;

<title>
	{block:PermalinkPage}
		{block:Posts}
			{block:Photo}{PhotoAlt} |{block:Photo}
			{block:Link}{Name} |{/block:Link}
			{block:Title}{Title} |{/block:Title}
		{/block:Posts}
	{/block:PermalinkPage}
