forgive yourself into existence

blog name !! important

make sure you fill out the blog name field, this is what will show on the top of all your original posts. to clarify: your blog name is your blog’s url - for example: phantomcodes

custom title

similar to the blog name, your custom title will show on the header, i recommend not making this too long

sidebar

the sidebar description text will scroll if it gets too long

up to 4 sidebar links, keep these short! - if you don’t want the sidebar links leave the sidebar link 1 field blank

updates tab

the updates tab is toggleable, it has up to 6 updates each with an icon & text

explore menu

the explore menu is toggleable and has:

about text: this is can be as long as you want! it will scroll

(optional) info stats section: up to 6 - leave the info 1 field blank if you don’t want this section

(optional) blogs section: up to 4 blogs - leave the blog 1 field blank if you don’t want this section

(optional) links section: up to 10 links - leave the explore link 1 field blank if you don’t want this section

responsiveness

when the browser window gets too small:

the sidebar will disappear and become toggleable, the sidebar button will appear on the right side of the header

the pagination will move to the bottom of the page below the posts

reminders

remember tumblr’s customize panel is buggy, make sure to toggle all the options on/off before saving
