Whats bizarre CSS markup? like {block:Posts}{/block:Posts}?
- pclark 18y agoyeah. Breaks stuff like CSSEdit - which we might not use, but lots of developers do :)
- jacobbijani 18y agothat's not css at all, it's just how the template blocks are defined. and it's a template engine people who aren't computers can actually understand.
- unalone 18y agoYeah, but at the same time it's weird when you're theming something and you try to use an editor and for video/audio posts you can't actually see what it looks like. Any tips, since you're one of the big Tumblr stylists? (Also, did your Dadaist theme ever get made public or was that a demo?)
- jacobbijani 18y agoJust theme it as a static html page with 7 sample posts (or 9, if you want to do each quote size differently) and all the proper pagination and everything. Then once it's all ready to go, save a copy of it as a .txt file and add the blocks in. That part honestly takes about 5 minutes.
- unalone 18y agoThat's something I wondered, looking at your theme: does Tumblr auto-handle quote sizes? I've never seen it in any CSS file that I've looked at in any of the themes I've sampled: how do you differentiate?
- jacobbijani 18y agoThere is {Length}, which returns either "short", "medium", or "long". Then you just do something like .quote.long {font-size: 50px} Check out http://www.tumblr.com/docs/custom_themes http://www.tumblr.com/docs/custom_themes
- unalone 18y agoWow. I've never seen that page before. Thanks a ton!
- pclark 18y agoyou should make that static html page freely avaliable :)
- jacobbijani 18y agoIt varies greatly between different themes, though. I just mean you shouldn't worry about the post blocks until you have all the HTML done.
