base code — one column, sidebar base code. originally posted in November 2020. since this is a base code, it’s intended to be used as a base for creating your own themes; it is not a fully customizable blog theme.
features:
- dashboard-style captions following the blocks in undocumented documentation by @bychloethemes
- responsive for smaller screens; sidebar will convert to a header for mobile devices
- some CSS styling to stop npf posts from overflowing
- like and reblog buttons
- post sizes: 400px, 500px, 540px.
notes:
- Tumblr’s customization page is buggy as hell and it disappears/screws up the captions. don’t panic, just open your blog in a new tab and remember to check the tab rather than the customization page so you can see your edits properly.
- since this has all the basic Tumblr blocks, you can use it as a simple theme if you want, but I don’t recommend it, and use at your own risk. I won’t provide support for this like I do my other themes, since this is a base code, not a fully customizable theme.
terms:
- feel free to replace my credit in the bottom right corner with your own if you make your own significant edits to it. if you use this as a standalone theme without significant edits, leave my credit in place.
- if you use this to make your own theme and release it, I would appreciate a credit somewhere (in the code, on a page on your blog, an @ in the post; the medium doesn’t matter). also, please don’t claim this as your own base.
if you make and release something with my base code, feel free to tag me in the post; I’d love to see what you make!
