Hello guys! So you’ve probably noticed that I haven’t been active at all lately, and if you’ve sent me a message in the past few months then I sincerely apologize because I haven’t answered any at all. Now I don’t wanna get into detail, but apart from the fact that I’m really busy with university right now, a family member of mine was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer a few months back and she has chosen a form of euthanasia that’s going to be performed on monday. 

I don’t mean to come off whiny or anything, but I wanted to explain why I haven’t been here a lot and I don’t know when I’m going to be fully active on here again. Just a little update, I guess. Thanks for being understanding!

Love your Axiom theme, but I'm curious - is there a way to add a background to it?

Hey! Thanks for using my theme ^^ This is totally possible, but you’ll need to edit it a bit yourself:

First add this to body {

background-image:url('{image:Background}');

If you don’t want the image to repeat, add this as well:

background-repeat:no-repeat;

Then between

and paste this:<pre><meta name="image:Background" content=""><p>After you’ve done that, if you go back to the customization options, this’ll have appeared! <figure class="tmblr-full" data-orig-height="54" data-orig-width="350"><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/6f7c3338b0cc9875a4d89f5891bfd8c7/e5e76dfd5280d509-da/s540x810/ecfbe45803c03aa28157e9dc3475c1378b19ebaa.png" data-orig-height="54" data-orig-width="350"><p style="">and if you add an image to that it’ll appear on your background! If you want to know more about positioning etc. you can look <a href="https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_background-image.asp">here!<br><p>I hope this helped you ^^ If you have any more questions, please feel free to send me another message!

It's finally here and it looks so great!! Good work!!

Aaw thank you so much ^^ I’m glad you like it!!! Also I made it responsive, like you asked :p

[cactusthemes]

Just saw your page, "Works in Progress Page 2 - Mainframe" & I absolutely LOVE it! It's so clean, yet functional. I love the little details: the checklist, progress circle, how the character's information is all right there together & not taking up so much space. Great job!

Thank you so much!!! I’m so glad you like it ^^ As I said in my post, it is heavily inspired by Dwinawan on Dribbble which is also where the checklist comes from, and the percentage graph was inspired by @suiomi! The characters section is all mine though :p Nonetheless, I’m really happy you like it!!

Hello!! I'm using your Sugary Clouds theme (revamped) and it's so nice!! I really wanted to add your updates tab to it, but it pretty much breaks the blog every time I try. It only happens when I get to step #4 of the install, and it has done so when I tried someone else's updates tab. I know I'm installing the updates tab correctly, because I tried it on your Axiom theme, and it was functional. Is Sugary Clouds just not written to take an updates tab?

Hello! Thanks for using my theme and updates tab ^^ This is totally something I did wrong, so thanks for letting me know! If you try to install it now, there should be no problems. Just one addendum: you only have to copy the second line of the JS as I know for sure my theme has a jquery library in it! Please just paste it right before

Hi there! I'm having an issue with the Cosmos theme. Sometimes images won't load when I go to my blog (It'll just show a blank box). Is this a glitch & is there a way to fix it?

Hey! Thanks for using my theme ^^ This is a very weird issue and not one I’ve seen before - I can’t recreate it either. If you’re still using my theme, could you please DM me to see if I can help? I really don’t know what’s wrong...

Should I post the new page tonight or tomorrow???

[cactusthemes]

I just made a preview blog! Anyone who can find it will already be able to see the preview for the page I'm gonna post tomorrow or on Tuesday :p

I forgot to say: I'd like it if it's responsive if possible.

Yeah I’m definitely gonna make it responsive! I’m trying to do that for most codes I make nowadays (only exceptions are me being lazy or themes it really doesn’t work with haha)

[cactusthemes]

@nowandthenoldfriend​ replied to your post “@nowandthenoldfriend replied to your post “Alright, I got a question...”

im too sleepy to remember how to english. er, you click a tag like "comics" and it sorts so only you see the comics. or "stories" etc

Ah I get it! I’m afraid that won’t really work with the layout of this page, but I could incorporate it into the “projects” section of my all-in-one theme ^^

[cactusthemes]

Alright, I got a question for y'all! I'm currently working on a projects page (that could also potentially be uses as a WIPs or characters page), and I was wondering what kinda things you guys want out of a projects page? Like a "to do" list, a description, maybe a percentage graph or something, but anything else?

[goldenjulychild]

i like it when there’s a sort of tagging system,so you can click on tags and specify what you are looking for. a bonus would be to be able to put a picture to it kinda like a moodboard or inspo type of deal?

[cactusthemes]

Yeah I’ll definitely give an option to include pictures! As for the tagging system, I’m not quite sure what you mean, could you maybe elaborate a bit more on that?

[mycelinet]

Also I changed up the theme of my blog so it’s a lot more homey! 

Credit for the code goes to @cactusthemes if you wanna check out what other designs they have. They’re really good!

[cactusthemes]

Aaaw thanks so much for using my theme!!! I’m glad you like it ^^

@official-big-gay-fish replied to your post “Alright, I got a question for y'all! I'm currently working on a...”

i have different project types (novels, comics, games etc) so itd be nice 2 have a diversified progress check (% maybe?) that can easily be edited/updated. also things like a tagging system for projects so if u click a tag only a certain set of projects appear (kinda like muse pages 4 rp accounts)

Yeah I’m definitely including a percentage graph! And a “tags” section per project as well - I just have to figure out how exactly it’ll look haha... As for a tag system, you’ll have to do that yourself: I can’t really create tags on your blog for you ^^

[cactusthemes]

@httpsusu-cc-find replied to your post “Alright, I got a question for y'all! I'm currently working on a...”

I would want the possibility to make a poll like "choose your favourite character" or "pick a wip so I know in what order you want me to finish them". This kind of things

Ah I don’t quite know if that’s possible? I can see if it is but don’t get your hopes up, sorry...

[cactusthemes]

@nowandthenoldfriend replied to your post “Alright, I got a question for y'all! I'm currently working on a...”

a way to sort projects/wips/characters with a click

Hmmm... This might be me, but I don’t quite get what you mean with this? If you could maybe explain this a bit more that’d be great haha
