Learn to Create Tumblr Themes the Easy Way
Would you like to make a customized theme for your Tumblr site, or create new Tumblr themes to sell? While there are many reasons a WordPress blog is more versatile and powerful, Tumblr is still one of the easiest blogging systems to use. If you just want an easy way to publish your pictures, videos, thoughts, and more, Tumblr makes it easy to do. Best of all, it’s much easier to create new themes for.
That’s where the Rockable Press eBook Theme Tumblr Like a Pro comes in. This 138 page eBook, along with around 3 hours of included tutorial videos, takes you though everything you need to learn to start designing themes for Tumblr. You can learn to create beautiful themes for your own use, or to sell to the more than 14 million Tumblr users that have blogs online today! Even major theme developers like WooThemes have created themes for Tumblr, and there's over 30 different Tumblr themes for sell today on ThemeForest by freelancers and small businesses. There’s a huge opportunity to create and sell new themes on marketplaces like ThemeForest, and this eBook will teach what it takes to go from zero to hero.
What’s Included?
The book first teaches about Tumblr’s origins, and the basics of designing themes for the service. It then progresses through the different types of posts in Tumblr, and how to customize your theme for each of them. Next, you’ll be able to take your theme knowledge to creating static pages, as well as adding customization options so your customers can tweak the font’s colors, fonts, and more. Finally, it progresses to more advanced topics, including how to create AJAX enabled themes, utalize the Tumblr API, and much more.
Throughout the text, you’ll see blocks of code to help you understand what’s being explained, as well as images of what the result should look like on your site.
As you’re reading, you’ll see markers that let you know when you should switch to the video. Just like a self-study course, you’ll be immersed in learning to theme Tumblr blogs with both the detailed text and the accompanying videos.
The videos themselves are very informative; you’ll see the most important parts explained directly, and then see the code in action on Tumblr. All together, Theme Tumblr Like a Pro is more like a mini-course on creating Tumblr themes than a traditional eBook. It takes the best of both worlds, and really makes coding a theme seem simpler than you might have thought.
Conclusion
Tumblr is actually amazingly simple to create themes for, and if you’ve found it daunting to create WordPress themes then you’ll be refreshed by Tumblr’s simplicity. Even though it’s simple, you’ll still need to learn the ropes before you can dive in and start creating world-class themes. Theme Tumblr Like a Pro is a great book to get you started. Far from simply teaching the basics, it’ll help you create advanced, dynamic themes. In fact, after reading it, I’m thinking that I should try creating a Tumblr theme even though I don’t use Tumblr myself anymore. I could always sell it on ThemeForest… :)
Theme Tumblr Like a Pro is available from Rockable Press for $29. For this, you’ll get the eBook in PDF format, as well as the sample theme with the source code and PSD files. You’ll also get around 3 hours of tutorial videos. All together, you’ll be fully equipped to learn everything you need to start coding themes. It’d be best if you knew at least some HTML and CSS before getting started.
