hi! it’s been a while haha but I thought I’d make an update. obviously, I have not released a code since 2020 - and I don’t know if I ever will again.
to put it simply, coding no longer holds the same amount of interest to me the way it did before. at the end of 2019, I learnt how to gif, and last year, a bit of video editing. both were new forms of content creation for me, and I am way more interested in them right now. with so many other things to do including uni and a job, I kept putting new codes off, telling myself I’ll make one this next month etc etc, and before I knew it, it has been years since I last coded or released something new. coding has simply slipped my mind.
my codes have almost always started as custom pages or themes on one of my blogs that were released publicly after I used them for a while. I’m still coding new pages and themes for my personal blogs and thus do currently have a few that can be released in the future but when, and if ever, I don’t know.
if you’re worried about this blog, I will never abandon it for as long as I am on tumblr. I will always be here for any questions but I may simply be a bit slow to answer, especially if the question is in a dm. I will still be sharing new codes and tumblr updates as I have been.
finally, thank you to all of you still using my codes, even when they’re years old. it truly means so much to me.

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS UNDER THE CUT BEFORE USING
custom colour scheme + 14 more included: there are 14 colour schemes (all with the same background pattern, but in different colours) and a custom one (without a background pattern) if you don't like any of them. all of the colour schemes, either the already included or the custom one, have a night version when the night/day button is clicked.
night/day mode: optional, can be turned it on and off by toggling the option in the customisation panel. it is activated by clicking the moon icon on the bottom right corner.
pop-ups: about me, socials+sideblogs, FAQ (with unlimited questions), tags (unlimited tags with categories and subcategories). all optional. you don't need all pop-ups, by the way, just pick which ones you want and copy+paste their url from the text below. if you don't want pop-ups at all, just put normal links.
ATTENTION: for them to work, in the url fields of the customisation panel, you need to copy and paste the following:
ABOUT ME POP-UP:
#!" class="click
SOCIALS POP-UP:
#!" class="click1
FAQ POP-UP:
#!" class="click2
NAVIGATION POP-UP:
#!" class="click3
about the FAQ: if you don't want a FAQ, just write /ask in the Ask Link field. if you do want a FAQ, you can stylise it with basic html (bold text, italics, underline, paragraph breaks, line breaks, etc) and put as many questions+answers you want as it will scroll if necessary.
about the navigation pop-up: it's the only thing in which you need to directly edit the code. it works like a normal navigation page, if you ever edited one of those. you can have unlimited tags with unlimited categories and subcategories. all instructions are in the code.
updates tab: optional.
8 custom links + display of 5 tags: if you don't use any pop-ups, all sidebar icons are free to use - counting those with the links in the links box, you get 8 plus the archive link. besides that, you can link 5 tags of your choice. all optional.
current media section: the last thing you read/watched/played etc. optional.
notes section: just a little box for extra text. optional.
search bar: optional.
custom title: while there is no official limit, i would not recommend making it too long, especially while using a big title font size. optional.
custom description: you can add basic html to it. optional.
custom sidebar image: max width is 300px, but you can upload smaller images without problem. bigger images will be resized.
tags on click: tags are hidden until the tag button is clicked.
scroll to top button: what it says on the tin.
tracking tag highlight (with info): optional. you can add your tracking tag (or anything else) and, when the box is hovered, additional text will appear (for example, what media you will and will not reblog).
featured posts: optional. 4 featured posts at once. they are defined by the last 4 posts tagged with a certain tag (of your choice). they don't have to necessarily be original posts. for IMAGES/GIFS ONLY. posts with only text will appear blank.
mobile friendly: it has its own version for smaller screens like mini desktop screens, cell-phone and tablets. it's the reason why the theme looks different when in editing mode, by the way.
HIGHLY customisable: everything can either be tweaked or turned it off, all without any coding required (everything can be done in the customisation panel, except adding tags to the navigation page). the only obligatory elements are the sidebar image, the ask button icon (if ask is enabled), the posts container, pagination and credits (that i ask for you not to remove).
a reminder: the Tumblr customisation panel is buggy, so you might have to toggle on and off some elements you want/do not want to make it work. i also recommend you "reset" your custom theme before installing this one (ie, select the default Tumblr theme), so no preferences of your previous theme are inherited by this code. it's not a necessary step, but it helps when customising.
again, let me know if anything happens. thanks for using and liking the theme! 💖

hi! apologies I'm a bit confused with what you're describing - can you please come off anon with a link to the page so I can see what the issue is?

hi! two questions (i'm using bibliophile - so pretty!!). one, i'm running into trouble with the home/follow/ask buttons, they're coming up as ovals without icons. there was an ask answered in bibliophile about the fontawesome code, but i copied it back over (it was the same), and there's been no change. second, i tried to add in the hit counter code per the answer on your contact page, but it looks like the link is either broken or forbidden. feel free to send me a message! thanks so much!! <3
hi and thank you! the hit counter code does not show up anymore if you have an ad blocker installed you'll need to let ads show on that page for it to work now. as for the fontawesome code, you can try replacing that link inside the quotation marks with this one https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/7.0.0/css/all.min.css which is the newest version - I'm not having any trouble with the 6.5 version myself so I'm not sure if that link will fix it.
Hi, I'm using your bibliophile theme, is it possible to get rid of the blue buttons on the top bar? i hope this makes sense... thank youu :)
I'm not entirely sure what blue buttons on the top bar you're talking about - the only thing I can think of are the tumblr controls. if so, just delete the section under iframe.tmblr-iframe { and replace it with display: none;
if it's something else, I'd need to see the blog to figure it out
