if you saw all the CSS missing from my pages, no you didn't. i accidentally made the GitHub repository that holds the CSS files private because i thought i had only used it for my old GH page not this blog as well.

Tumblr Hack Day, January 2026 Edition

Hack days are when our team gets to step away from the regular roadmap and work on whatever ideas they so desire. Here's a taste of what came out of it:

Advanced Search

We added advanced search operators in a previous Hack Day. This time, @lesianlen added an exclusion operator to exclude posts that contain a specific word, phrase, or tag. @ex and @blowery helped out to add a spiffy modal that shows exactly how you can use all available advanced search operators.

Search in Communities

Speaking of search, @lesianlen also worked on adding search within individual Communities to find posts and conversations.

"Latest Comments" Community feed

@jubs and @lesianlen worked on creating a tab within individual communities that bumps a post to the top when someone adds a comment. Easily find posts where conversation is hot!

Nudge to Add Moderators

When your community is growing, you need more people to help run it. @jubs worked on a reminder that suggests just that. 

iOS Home Screen Widgets 

Ben worked on widgets with quick actions and Radar, making Tumblr even more accessible on your home screen.

iOS Shortcuts and Siri Support

@kostastsi4 explored making Tumblr play more nicely with your iPhone: showing quick links in Spotlight to jump straight to your Dashboard, Messages, Activity, or your blog. He also began adding support for Siri and Shortcuts to open specific tabs, start a new post, or search for exactly what you want.

Suggest Tags Based on Post Content

Tumblr runs on tags. However, picking the right tags for your post can be difficult unless you're a Tumblr expert. Our current tag suggestions are a combination of tags you follow, tags you've used before, and some trending tags. @arandomblog31 worked on suggesting better tags based on the post you're writing.

Reblog Explorer

Ever wondered how a post spread across Tumblr? @blowery built a full-screen version of the reblog graph view that lets you explore how a post traveled. Click through the graph to see the full reblog trail update in real-time explore different branches. There's even keyboard navigation — press the up arrow repeatedly to follow the most popular reblog path through the entire graph, or walk backwards toward the original post to see what tags people added along the way.

Identities 

@elt began exploring what it would take to eliminate the limitations of secondary blogs.

Some of these will be rolling out soon, others need a bit more time in the oven. Keep an eye on @changes to see when they arrive!

hii! i really like your blog themes, i was wondering if i could use a few of them not for a blog exactly, but as image. like taking a picture of it and editing it for a post, of course with keeping your credit watermark. kind of like a psd template if that makes sense. it’s absolutely okay if not, just wanted to ask. thank you! 🤍

Hi! Appreciate you asking. I don't mind as long it's just for using it yourself.

hello, this is the anon regarding the "mirror images" theme's pinterest board add-on not working. it looks like the bug was fixed, because the add-on is now appearing on all devices. still not sure what the root of the problem was, but i apologise for any inconvenience caused. thank you once again for coding amazing themes!

Hi! This usually happens due to issues on Pinterest's side as the board is just an embedded iframe. Unless you see it happen consistently, then it might be that something's wrong with my scripts. If it's the latter, do let me know.

[nonspace]

Why are you.. like.. on the right bottom corner of my screen. I'm just checking out my favorite person's tumblr and I see this and then I panic and I go: where was I js taken!?!?!?!? This isn't really a question, I think, but yeah.

Hi, welcome to my blog anon. What you saw was probably the theme credit link if they're using one of my themes.

[nonspace]

Hi! I was trying to use your Spotlight theme and I noticed the like, reblog, comment, etc buttons do not show up :( Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Hi! I had a look at your blog and it seems that the feather icons scrip throws an error when the icon class is empty or can't be found. It seems like the first social icon on your blog is empty.

Can you make sure that these settings are filled in? You can find all feather icons here. I think that should fix the issue.

[nonspace]

howdy! so i'm using your spotlight theme, and i'm wondering if there's a way to edit the code so i can see tags on the permalink of posts? i have the theme toggled to "show tags", and i can see them just fine if i'm scrolling my blog or through a particular tag, but once i open a post's permalink its tags no longer show up. thanks!

Hi! That's honestly an oversight on my part.

I've updated the code to have tags on the permalink page, too. If you've installed it through the Tumblr theme garden the change won't be live yet but you can get the code from GitHub.

[nonspace]

hi i just wanted to say that it makes me very happy that you're still doing themes and keeping the culture alive!!! wish you the very best of best of best of best forever <3

Thank you! That's very kind. Although I've been rather inactive when it comes to making new stuff. Life's busy (for better or worse).

hi nonspace. i'm a long term fan of your stereo theme and i would like to add a sidebar image space between the search bar and the copyright ones. is there a way to do it? sorry if you already answered, couldn't find anything that worked. thanks!

Hi! That should work if you add an image in the code here:

You may have to add additional CSS styling to make sure your image is the correct size.

[nonspace]

Hello, is it possible to change the stereo theme so that it displays themes uploaded to the theme assets instead of google fonts?

Hi, yes this is possible but you'll need to add it manually.

You'll need to follow this to define a name for the font and point to the file: https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_fonts.asp with the url being the URL to your font asset.

After that, you can change the "--fontFamily" variable from the google font placeholder to your font.

Hope this helps!

Hello! Regarding with Soda Pop Fiction - Page Theme #3. The code link has been blocked on pastebin, and when I try to find the one in github, it seems like the page doesn't exist! I would like to know if theres another way to find this theme :)

Hi! The theme is officially re-tired as I'm no longer maintaining it but you can still get the code from GitHub here: https://github.com/n0nspace/tumblr-themes/blob/main/archive/soda-pop-fiction/soda-pop.html

[nonspace]

Hello, I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to reach out because I am new music artist, and I'm trying to build a website with the help of Tumblr and I really dig your Stereo theme. I was hoping to use it to promote my music, with credit of course. Based off your FAQ, I imagine this would be encouraged, but I wanted to confirm it in writing if possible. I assure you that I will only be using this website to share my original music and art. Thanks so much ☺️

Hi! Yes, please feel free to. You can install it through the theme garden.

All my themes are entirely free to use on Tumblr (and I have nothing against them being used off-site, too as long as the credit's still there).

[nonspace]

Hi, I’m the anon asking for the search option which I'm really happy about! :) After installing the theme again, I'm experiencing a problem: When I go to my tumblr address, the standard Tumblr page that asks you to agree/disagree with cookies pops up. When I click Agree it goes back to the previous page/reloads. To go to the page I want I have to go through this process 2-3 times. It also happens when I click on the links I put in my bio as well as using the tags on my pages. The problem also occurs on other browsers and mobile device. Is it possible to fix this, or is this a problem with tumblr? Hope you can help, thanks in advance! Let me know if you need anything else from me x

Hi! Happy to help!

That seems like a Tumblr issue. Please reach out to support at https://www.tumblr.com/support to report this.
