You’re welcome.

I apologize if I sounded defensive. I wasn’t trying to! I’m running on almost no sleep, so I am extremely tired!

There are lines underneath post titles, only if it’s from Tumblr itself, such as a regular post, photo or video, but not a feed that is being imported into Tumblr. The reason I did that was because if it was just a link or a few words, it did not look good at all. Otherwise, I did have the lines there initially and couldn’t stand it. ;)

I’m glad to see another variation of the theme though. It will be interesting to see if anyone else comes up with something different.

Being that I don’t actually design themes myself, there probably won’t be many from me, but I love porting themes to WordPress and now Tumblr. =)

Thanks for replacing that link! I didn’t even realize I did that.

Please don’t get defensive. I was inspired by what you did so I decided to do the same. I completely understand why you didn’t share it. I read about that on your blog post. That’s also why I’m not sharing mine yet either.

As for changes. Most are with the formatting of the posts. Little things like adding a line under the title and centering the pictures in the post column. I will add more stuff to it when I have more time. I just wanted to finish most of it so she could start using it right away.

I hope to see more themes from you!!!

To answer your post, the only reason I didn’t share it was because I didn’t have permission yet to do so. I now have permission to do so and am working on preparing it for releasing.

The reason I left the recent posts on the right is because it’s a much shorter list (a summary) of what is there on the left side to quickly look over instead of scrolling down the page to see. Of course since tumblr doesn’t handle things the way it should, when you go to a post, it will show only that post’s title on the right. I’m hoping tumblr will be able to handle it better in the future.

You said you changed a couple things that you thought would make it better, but I only saw that one change.

Also, I replaced your link above to the correct link to your wife’s tumblr blog. You had put the same link that just points to the post about it.

I saw this post and I also decided to converted the Notepad Chaos theme over to Tumblr. I changed a couple of things on it that I thought would make it better. Here’s my post about it:

Here is my wife’s Tumblr page that is using the theme:
