My new NOTATIONS Theme is now ready for you to install on your Tumblr blog. :)
Here are the reasons I like it:
- A nice font. It uses the very nice Quicksand font by Andrew Paglinawan. It’s base64-encoded and looks gorgeous in most browsers. There is also an option to not use this font and default to Helvetica if you don’t like it.
- High res images. It uses high-res images whenever possible. To me, this really makes a big difference. I’ve actually had a blast going back through my blog and looking at photos. They just look better, bigger. It even makes Tumblr’s PhotoSet slideshows BIG. The images are scaled-up inside the Flash object, but they still look pretty good. (example)
- Options. The theme allows you to turn off/on a variety of handy options, i.e., whether to show note counts, a word-count for text posts, tags, ask & submit links, etc.
- Print this Post feature. For writers this might be nice. It’s a handy way to let a user pop-open and nicely print one of your text posts.
- Keyboard shortcuts! Your viewers can navigate between posts using the “J” and “K” keys.
- Has good support for all the Tumblr posts types including question/answer posts.
Anyway, you can see it in action on my blog, or give it whirl yourself if you’re inclined.
