• Where can I learn how to make themes?
First of all you’ll need basic html/css knowledge. This site is a great help. I also suggest you to look at my themes’ codes; with time you’ll start to see all the patterns and constants. Then, when you got the hang of it, look here for info about the tumblr coding. When I first started messing around with these programming languages it was very frustrating, but with time I started to understand it all. You can do it too, as long as you keep trying. Just don’t take the easy road and copy other people’s themes/use them as bases. That’d be cheating and just low.

• Do you take theme requests? / Can you make me an unique theme including background and/or sidebar pic?
Not atm. That’d take a lot of work and time. I’ve seen people taking these kind of requests for money, tho. It’s understandable. Maybe one day I’ll start making them, idk.

• What’s the sidebar image’s size?
Usually it’s 250px wide.

• Font sizes
For my themes, there’s the option to change the font-size of the posts, but the rest has to be done manually. I’m gonna be a bit lazy about this one and simply tell you to find (Ctrl+F) ‘font-size:’ and play around with the values.

• he sidebar image’s not appearing. What can I do?
I’m asked about this quite a lot, and the solution is very simple: pay more attention to the appearance options. xD You’ll notice a little box for you to check saying ‘ShowSidebarPic’.

• How can I change the background image positioning/repeat?
Find the body css section and you’ll find the following code lines:

1. background-image: url({image:Background});
2. background-position: bottom right;
3. background-repeat: {text:BackgroundRepeat};

1. If you want to add an image from a hosting image site instead of tumblr, replace {image:Background} with your image’s URL, so it looks something like this: background-image: url(http://imageurl.com);
2. Possible values: left top, left center, left bottom, right top, right center, right bottom, center top, center center, center bottom.
3. You have this option in the appearance options, but you can always change it in the code. Possible values: repeat (the image will be repeated both vertically and horizontally, like a mosaic), repeat-x (the image will be repeated horizontally), repeat-y (the image will be repeated vertically).

• How can I add more links?
K, this will take three easy steps.

1. Right at the top of the code you’ll find a lot of ‘meta’ values. Find:

<meta name=”text:Link Text 4” content=”” />
<meta name=”text:Link URL 4” content=”” />

Copy these two lines and paste right under them (or write manually) and change ‘4’ to ‘5’, and so on. Like:

<meta name=”text:Link Text 4” content=”” />
<meta name=”text:Link URL 4” content=”” />
<meta name=”text:Link Text 5” content=”” />
<meta name=”text:Link URL 5” content=”” />

Repeat this according to how many links you want.

2. Still in the meta values, find:

<meta name=”if:ShowLink4” content=”0” />

And just like previously, copy it and paste it right below and change ‘4’ to ‘5’ and so on. It should look like:

<meta name=”if:ShowLink4” content=”0” />
<meta name=”if:ShowLink5” content=”0” />

Again, do this according to how many links you want.

3. Now, the place for these next code lines can vary, so you’ll have to search the code for them:

{block:IfShowLink4}
<a href=”{text:Link URL 4}” id=”sidebarlinks”>{text:Link Text 4}</a> {/block:IfShowLink4}

Just like before, all you need to do is to copy and paste this three lines right below and change all ‘4’ to ‘5’.

• Borders
This is mostly for my first theme. If you want to get rid of the borders, find (Ctrl+F) ‘border:’ and change from 1px to 0px. Or, just delete that whole line.

• Tags
I’m gonna start adding the option to show/hide tags from now on. For my previous themes, if you want to take the tags off, find: {block:HasTags}{block:Tags}#<a href=”tagged/{Tag}” id=”tags”>{Tag}</a> {/block:Tags}{/block:HasTags} and delete it. Also, if you want to fix the newest tumblr bug, the code line above shoud do it. Press Ctrl+F and type ‘{block:HasTags}’ to find where your tag code is in your theme and replace it.
