Creating a custom HTML theme
Tumblr lets you fully customize the appearance of your blog by editing your theme's HTML code. This is only recommended for users comfortable hand-coding HTML. If you're not, there are hundreds of great themes to choose from in the Theme Garden!
Once you've created a theme you're proud of, submit it to the Theme Garden to share with everyone on Tumblr!
Introduction
To start, click the "Customize" button on your Dashboard. Click the "Theme" tab, and click "Use custom HTML". This will bring up a text box with your current theme's HTML code.
Tumblr has two types of special operators used to render content in your HTML.
Variables are used to insert dynamic data like your blog's title or description:
<html>
<head>
<title>{Title}</title>
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>
Blocks are either used to render a block of HTML for a set of data (like your posts), or to conditionally render a block of HTML (like a "Previous Page" link):
<html>
<body>
<ol id="posts">
{block:Posts}
<li> ... </li>
{/block:Posts}
</ol>
</body>
</html>
Here's an example of the complete markup for a theme:
<html>
<head>
<title>{Title}</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="{Favicon}">
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="{RSS}">
</head>
<body>
<h1>{Title}</h1>
{block:Description}
<p id="description">{Description}</p>
{/block:Description}
<ol id="posts">

</head>
<body>
...
{block:Likes}
<div id="likes_container">
<h2>Stuff I like</h2>
{Likes limit="5" summarize="100" width="150"}
<a href="http://www.tumblr.com/liked/by/{Name}">

Enabling Custom Colors
By including the special meta-color tags in your theme, users can easily tweak those colors using the "Customize" screen.
Example
<html>
<head>
<!-- DEFAULT FONTS -->
<meta name="color:Background" content="#eee"/>
<meta name="color:Content Background" content="#fff"/>
<meta name="color:Text" content="#000"/>
<style type="text/css">
#content {
background-color: {color:Content Background};
color: {color:Text};
}
</style>
</head>
<body bgcolor="{color:Background}">
<div id="content">
...
</div>
</body>
</html>
Enabling Custom Fonts
By including the special meta-font tags in your theme, users can easily change those fonts using the "Customize" screen.
Example
<html>
<head>
<!-- DEFAULT COLORS -->
<meta name="font:Title" content="Helvetica Neue"/>
<meta name="font:Body" content="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"/>
<style type="text/css">
h1 {
font: 30px {font:Title};
}
#content {
font: 12px {font:Body};
}
</style>
</head>
...
</html>
Enabling Booleans
By including the special meta-if tags in your theme, users can easily toggle options you define. This is useful for showing or hiding different widgets or design elements.
Example
<html>
<head>
<!-- DEFAULTS -->
<meta name="if:Show people I follow" content="1"/>
<meta name="if:Reverse pagination" content="0"/>
</head>
<body>
{block:IfNotReversePagination}
<a href="...">Previous</a> <a href="...">Next</a>
{/block:IfNotReversePagination}
{block:IfReversePagination}
<a href="...">Next</a> <a href="...">Previous</a>
{/block:IfReversePagination}
{block:IfShowPeopleIFollow}
<div id="following">...</div>
{/block:IfShowPeopleIFollow}
</body>
</html>
Enabling Custom Text
By including the special meta-text tags in your theme, users can easily configure text variables you define. This is useful for adjusting text or configuring widgets that require information from the user.
Example
<html>
<head>
<!-- DEFAULT TEXT -->
<meta name="text:Flickr Username" content=""/>
</head>
<body>
{block:IfFlickrUsername}
<div id="flickr_widget">
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://flickr.com/widget?user={text:Flickr Username}">
</script>
</div>
{/block:IfFlickrUsername}
</body>
</html>
Enabling Custom Images
By including the special meta-image tags in your theme, users can easily use custom images without editing your theme. Image variables (eg. {image:Logo}) will return a 1-pixel transparent square if no image is set.
Example
<html>
<head>
<!-- DEFAULT IMAGE -->
<meta name="image:Background" content="http://static.tumblr.com/..."/>
<meta name="image:Header" content=""/>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background: #2D567C url('{image:Background}');
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
{block:IfHeaderImage}<img src="{image:Header}"/>{/block:IfHeaderImage}
{block:IfNotHeaderImage}<h1>{title}</h1>{/block:IfNotHeaderImage}
</body>
</html>
Enabling Custom CSS
By including the {CustomCSS} tag at the bottom of your theme's CSS style block, users you share your theme with will be able to tweak the appearance of your theme without editing its markup.
Example
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#content {
background-color: #fff;
color: #000;
}
{CustomCSS}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
...
</div>
</body>
</html>
If you've enabled Twitter integration in your Tumblr preferences, you can include the /tweets.js Javascript file on your primary blog to display your recent tweets. This file runs the callback function recent_tweets(), sending the Twitter API JSON data as its only parameter.
| {block:Twitter} {/block:Twitter} | Rendered if you have Twitter integration enabled. |
|---|---|
| {TwitterUsername} | Your Twitter username. |
Example
{block:Twitter}
<div id="twitter" style="display:none;">
<h3><a href="http://twitter.com/{TwitterUsername}">Latest Tweets</a></h3>
<div id="tweets"></div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function recent_tweets(data) {
for (i=0; i<data.length; i++) {
document.getElementById("tweets").innerHTML =
document.getElementById("tweets").innerHTML +
'<a href="http://twitter.com/{TwitterUsername}/status/' +
data[i].id + '"><div class="content">' + data[i].text +
'</div></a>';
}
document.getElementById("twitter").style.display = 'block';
}
</script>
{/block:Twitter}
<!-- Put this at the bottom of the page -->
{block:Twitter}
<script type="text/javascript" src="/tweets.js"></script>
{/block:Twitter}
