How to find the beginning of Tintin on tumblr?

[biancacastafarina]

I've been following the Tintin tag on tumblr since 2011. But even then, when I scrolled through that tag, I didn't get to the end/beginning (= the very first post tagged with "Tintin"). It already seemed endless!

Now I'm trying to figure out how to get to the very beginning of the Tintin feed. I want to know all Tintin-tagged posts on tumblr, damnit! :<

Tumblr offers the option to switch off endless scrolling:



This gives you a "Next page" link on your tracked tag feed. Here you can see it in my Tintin feed:



However, there is no actual pagination, and no "previous page" link.

The URLs look like this -

Page 2 - http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/tintin?before=1374989534
Page 3 - http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/tintin?before=1374975565
Page 4 - http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/tintin?before=1374929274
Page 5 - http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/tintin?before=1374870920
... and so on, and so on.

How do I find the URL that will take me to the very first, the earliest Tintin post?
How can I manipulate the URL to take me to a certain date or page?

I can't see a pattern in those numbers. D: My mind, it is boggled.

Anyone able to figure this out?

I've tried to do this myself to no avail, Tumblr just likes to make things difficult...

Looks like I have to hire a slave to scroll day and night to the end of the Tintin feed D:

But yeah I'm afraid I don't know either... AND I'd like to D: imagine if we're missing out awesome stuff posted in the past...

Yes, I also feel like I'm missing out T_T

If you've got the Tumblr Xkit extension for Chrome (make sure it's v7!), you can add an option that lets you scroll all the way to the bottom of a tag (much like how there's a "scroll to the top" button when you've scrolled down far enough). I'm sure it'll take a while (the Tintin tag is more immense than I thought), but it'll keep going down until it hits the bottom.

Hope that helps! Godspeed!
