Discovering, Modifying, and Designing Themes - Tumblr - page 115

Learning all the ins and outs of Tumblr theme development can be a real challenge;
there are currently no comprehensive tutorials or training programs available. What you
will find, however, is a mishmash of instructions and videos that each provide a small
piece in the puzzle of how it all works!
One decent (if slightly dated) tutorial is Creating a Tumblr Theme by Jose Argudo
Blanco ( http://joseargudo.com ) on the PACKT Publishing site at
www.packtpub.com/ article/creating-a-tumblr-theme . There you'll find step-
by-step instructions on how to convert the tags and other markup in your HTML/CSS
page into a ready-to-use Tumblr theme.
For a free Tumblr framework to get your Tumblr themes started faster than you would
probably do by hand-coding from scratch, download Galen Gidman's ( http://galen
gidman.com/ ) framework files at https://github.com/galengidman/tumblr-
framework .
