In-Depth Information
To change the sorting order of themes listed on this page, click one of these navigation
tabs:
Featured:
Themes that the folks at Tumblr deem to be “feature-worthy” are show-
cased here and are identified by a red Featured banner that sits diagonally across
their top-left corners. You'll also see these themes listed in the Themes area of the
Customize Theme page.
Premium:
These themes, which have blue Premium banners on their top-left
corners, are custom-designed with all kinds of specialized features and customiz-
able appearance options. Expect to shell out anywhere from $9-$49 for these
beauties. Some themes even include integration with other third-party add-ons
from sources such as SoundCloud, iTunes, Bandcamp, Songkick, Flickr, Instagram,
great example of how robust a Premium theme can be.
Recent:
This page displays a seemingly endless list of themes added recently to the
Theme Garden, including regular, Featured, and Premium. Theme listings here in-
clude the number of people currently using each theme.
Popular:
Sorting by Popular will display a list of Featured, Premium, and regular
themes according to the number of people using each one, from most to least.
Previewing themes
When you see a theme in the Theme Garden that looks interesting to you, you can pre-
view it by clicking the gray Preview button at the bottom of the theme box to launch the
theme in a new browser tab or window. Feel free to cruise around to see how the theme
looks and functions. Most preview pages include examples of each kind of post (photo,
text, video, and such), so you have a clear idea of how the theme looks, and where on
the page visitors can view such features as notes, comments, and tags.
Installing themes
Installing a Tumblr theme from the Theme Garden is fast and easy:
1. From the Theme Garden listing, click the thumb- nail or the Install button of the
theme you'd like to install.
The theme's installation page opens in your browser, looking similar to Figure 9-4.
