This just made my day.
Jay Electronica is using Notations for his Tumblr blog. I’m honored. The man has taste, what can I say? ;) Go follow him. His new album is coming soon and it’s gonna be huge.

If you happen to be using my free and awesome Tumblr theme, Notations, you can put the following in the Custom CSS field of the Advanced tab to make your theme wider and even more glorious for photos:
#Main {width:870px;}
.Post .Photo img {max-width:100%;}
Just pick whatever width seems good to you. Mine is set as indicated and it looks rather smashing I must say. (You’ll want to make sure you have high-res photos turned on—also on the Advanced tab.)
I’ll be making a few other improvements (more options) to the theme one of these days soon, so stay tuned.
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.
