A dear friend asked if I had made any Tumblr themes and I had no idea what that was. After a couple days of looking around the code I made my first theme. It’s nothing special but it is functional and meets all standards.
The highlight color, what you currently see as blue, is changeable.
Copy and paste the code below or preview and install directly from tumblr.
