Exploring Online Tumblr Theme Tutorials
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
.
