pessimis-deactivated20120112 asked: I am feeling incredibly frustrated for the lack of help the internet provides for my problem. I just want to create a static homepage on Tumblr with a few links to actual (themed) posts.. Could you help me? Thank you so much :)

takaia asked: Wow thanks so much for the fast response! I'm really new to this but I think I'm getting the hang of it. You didn't say anything about the date though. Do you know how to get the post date to show on each post when I embed my Tumblr on my website?

– deceleration2 : Your link is giving me a 404 error - it can’t find the web page are you sure it’s that? To get rid of the numbers you need to use list-style:none; on your posts selector, you can edit image size by using .tumblr_post and then the ‘img’ selector, then set...

In reply to takaia question “Is there a way to include the date or at least visibly separate the posts when embeding in my website? I can’t figure it out :(“ - to visually separate the posts you need to add either a margin or padding to your .tumblr_posts class. When looking at the classes provided by the HTML brought in you should be able to see what they are labeled. For example...

godkillsstraights: This is a popular whinge for me, with good reason. (For a graduate designer anyway, during studies they are more reasonable as they eat into time that is allocated for studying rather than sustaining your own life force via earning money. A student intern is unqualified, a graduate is) For…

vineetkaur asked: Hey Sofi !
Actually the Helvetica's only for headings, but not for body text which appears as Arial/ Verdana :\ !!

Thanks,
Vineet

vineetkaur asked: Hi Sofi !
It'll be great if you could help me with a tumblr theme glitch. I am using this theme with some modifications. But today while making some changes I guess I tweaked something related to the font, which was Helvetica by default. I have gone through the code to check for any changes but couldn't find any.
And now I have no idea, how to set it back to Helvetica....

WC3 Valid Twitter share button

If you’re like me and you want your sites to be valid and therefore have better SEO and page rankings - you must also be annoyed that the Twitter API codes for the share button, don’t validate. Lets fix that! Here’s the code given to you from Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-via= "smith_and_sons">...

Working on some web templates...

Thought since things are quiet at the moment I’d mock-up some designs & frameworks in basic HTML & CSS, this means they’re easy to implement, edit & hopefully use & sell at some point…?

Web Font Weight - Get ultra-light on your website

Just found out something quite good. I like Helvetica Neue, like most, but I always wanted to use Helvetica Neue Ultralight, but online it’s not supported as a genuine font in itself. BUT Set your font-family to begin with Helvetica Neue - and set your font weight as a number - I never knew the effects of this but set the value to 100 - Helvetica Neue Ultralight! Good ‘eh.

I wrote a tutorial once upon a time...

It’s about embedding Tumblr into your website, it gets over 500 views a month, but hasn’t got a single note on it. It’s either because people don’t have a fucking clue what I’m on about, or people steal my ideas & don’t say, this was cool, ‘thanks’. Weird.

here is a link to my website where the blog should be located:

Realised I haven't blogged in ages...

Haven’t posted any of my new work, haven’t posted anything interesting I’ve found, there’s been no incredible design I just had to reblog, but I think I might actually be busy, actually doing things instead of writing about them on here… This is good. Oops I just blogged.
