GPOY — a 2012 Tumblr-inspired theme
Preview // More Info & Install
happy April Fools! this theme is a joke. and by "joke" I mean, unfortunately, I spent time making this Tumblr theme that you can now use. consider it a late Ides of March gift or something.
oh, my little Tumblr baby. I'm so glad you asked!
GPOY is short for "Gratuitous Picture Of Yourself," and is usually accompanied by a picture of yourself or something that you do. It was a very common reply and tag on Tumblr in the early 2010s, essentially meaning the same thing as "me" or "same".
GPOY comes with the following features:
I spent a ridiculously long time making sure this looked as close to the Tumblr dashboard from 2011-2012 as I could, so it includes absurd, long-obsolete features such as...
Reblogged post commentary is nested in blockquotes, that can and will be unreadable and break when there are too many (don't worry, if you don't like this you can disable it).
Like and reblog buttons are at the top of posts (so convenient!)
This theme supports all post types! That being said, some of them look like absolute shit (as David Karp originally intended)
3 font sizes (original 14px - for ants, 15px, and 16px)
5 post sizes and 5 sidebar widths
9 built-in color schemes (Default, Modern, Dark, Galaxy 1-3, Doctor Who, Sherlock, and Supernatural) plus a custom scheme for your own uploaded background image (the most low-res, high-contrast, over-saturated image you can find would be great)
"Followed tags" section to host your favorite blog tags
"Suggested blogs" section to recommend your favorite blogs
An optional fake "create a post" section at the top of the blog
Unlimited custom links (visit the help desk FAQ for a tutorial)
Custom titles for Home, Ask, Submit, and Archive links
Pagination or endless scroll
you can install this theme via the source code here! the theme is still pending approval in the theme garden, and I'll add that installation link later. as always, thank you so much for using my themes, even the hellishly ugly themes like this one. it means a lot!
my themes are free to use, and always will be — but if you love my work, I'd be so happy if you bought me a coffee. thank you!
