Tumblr Theme Release: RP 1.0

A minimalistic theme with support for all post types (text, photo, photoset, panarama, quote, audio, video, link, and chat) built to adapt to common device screens (mobile phones, tablets, and desktops). This theme contains just 1 image, the gray background image, and allows your content to be the focus!

RP uses the following web technologies:

HTML5
CSS3
Adaptable layout built with Frameless Grid and media queries

Features include:

Twitter feed (1 tweet)
Instagram feed (3 pictures)
AddThis.com sharing on each post
Google Analytics
Social Network links
Page support
Search slide-in

This theme is free for personal use and can be modified with your own custom CSS. All I ask is that you keep the link back to my blog in the footer and do not claim the code as your own.

Install this theme through Tumblr at http://www.tumblr.com/theme/37071
