#syntax post

I’ve been very absent from here the past year or so (I have an excuse, I promise - it was my last year of high school!) and had fallen into a slump in terms of being inspired or motivated to code. But now my summer break is drawing to a close, and I’m off to university in a couple of weeks - a new start in a completely new environment.

I’ve got some ideas for new themes, and I’ve been reading up on some web design-related things like Flexbox, which I’m really excited about using to code some really cool stuff. While university will likely be very busy, I hope to be at least a little more active here, and hopefully release something for you all soon.

did you update this post? because I saw a link to an example of what you were working on earlier but it's gone now I think? but I liked what you were doing a lot!

Hello and thanks for your comments! You must have seen the example on my personal blog, where I posted about what I’m working on.

For anyone else who’s interested, I’m working on a fix for the new Tumblr Controls bar. You can see it working on a test blog for my latest theme here. I’m still working on it and would appreciate any feedback anybody has to give.

Hi everyone!

You might have noticed that Tumblr’s made some, let’s just say, not very nice changes to the controls on people’s blogs. Instead of more discreet buttons, they’re now a large, ugly, ill-fitting bar covering the top of the screen. 

This is what it looks like on my personal blog.

This hasn’t rolled out to everyone yet, I don’t think, but I’ve seen it and I’m working on a way to fix it.
