My blog’s theme customizations

I wanted to change my dark theme, so a week ago, I started with the minimalistic theme and edited it in my spare time:

  • I wanted it wider, so I set body width to 700px from 500px
  • removed cufon to google web fonts (now using Josefin Sans)
  • I often use tags to better give a context to my posts, so I added the tags visualization
  • changed color for posts metadata and borders from #BCA474 to #85B5A5
  • I removed some borders in header
  • aligned all images and videos to the center of the page (they are still 500px wide)
  • moved the search form below site description
  • titles to the left
  • added support to linkedin profile’s url

Next steps? To let users set some variables to customize it in a simple and immediate way (if you use tumblr you know what I mean) and then submit it to tumblr

  • clean up css
  • set #85B5A5 as a customizable field text
  • set also the google font name as a textbox in the admin panel, to change font in seconds
  • support other social networks in the menu
