Tumblr Base

A starting point for Tumblr theme development. The code and guidelines are based on my own requirements. Post logic is not included as this is unique to the theme.

Options

• Wrap these in the block {block:Hidden}so they don't appear in the rendered HTML.
• Use Global Apperance options to maintain an unified experience.
• By design, Booleans, are switches. Don't prefix with enable or disable.

CSS

• Seperate core from options driven CSS.

Localisation

• Use localised strings if you need to include non standard text in a theme.

Comments

• Add comments when needed. Its sensible to wrap these in the block {block:Hidden} so they don't appear in the rendered HTML.
