Tumbled – A WordPress Theme

This is my first WordPress theme I have made publicly available, and it’s not something I have had sitting around for ages either – I started it yesterday afternoon with the soul intention of making it purely for public release.

So here goes, I would like to introduce you to Tumbled, a single column, no nonsense theme loosely based on the popular Block style on Tumblr.

Yep, that’s right, you can now have that Tumblr look on your WordPress blog.

I must warn that Tumbled is still a Beta, but rest assured I have tested it in Safari and Firefox on the Mac, and Internet Explore 6 and 7 plus Firefox on the PC. Everything seems to work fine, although there is a slight discrepancy with the navigation in IE 6 – there always something wrong in IE 6 though isn’t there!

NOTE: A problem was found where Smiley Faces inherited the default image styling! It is recommended that everybody downloads the latest version to avoid the visual unpleasantness – sorry about that!

Installation:

• Unzip the downloaded file. You’ll get a folder named ‘tumbled’
• Upload the entire ‘tumbled’ folder to your ‘wp-content/themes/’ folder
• Login into WordPress administration
• Click on the ‘Presentation’ tab
• Click on the “tumbled” theme thumbnail/screenshot or title
• That’s it. Go to your blog and hit refresh to see your newly installed theme.

Custom Archives Page:

• Login into WordPress administration
• Click on the ‘Write’ tab and then the ‘Write Page’ tab
• Enter a Page Title i.e. ‘Archives’
• Leave the Page Content blank < important!
• Select the ‘Archives’ template from the Page Template list on the right hand side
• Click ‘Publish’
• That’s it. Go to your blog and click on the new Archive button

Image Tags:

• You can use alignleft or alignright to make your images float left or right on the page.
• For example, after adding an image to a post, check the code and add in class="alignleft" or class="alignright".
  e.g. <img src="yourimage.gif" class="alignleft">
