USING ICONS FROM FONT AWESOME; a tutorial by azurethemes/salazhar I’ve gotten a few asks on how I added icons on my main blog. I got them from Font Awesome and I thought I could make a tutorial on how to apply them to your blog. The difficulty depends on your knowledge on HTML and CSS, but it suggest you you should know the basics of of both. 

CODING PAGES; a basic walkthrough by azurethemes/salazhar An anon requested I create a tutorial on coding pages, but the thing is, I cannot teach you that. Pages should be entirely your own and there are so many different styles, and there are even much more I haven’t discovered yet. Every page can be and is done differentlyThis post will just cover the basics and I will be providing links to several tutorials and websites for inspiration so you can create your own pages with your own style.

This tutorial is avaliable on english and portuguese!

Hey, so, i learned how to make it and i come here to teach you haha. It’s easy. After making your theme, everything alright, right click anyway and:

will open a code, you will press ctrl + a, after ctrl + c, go to “edit your theme” and create a new page, select “custom layout”. paste the code that you copied seconds ago and there’s your static preview.

You can ask me if still having doubts about it, bye!

Olá, então, eu aprendi a fazer a fazer static previews então vim ensinar à vocês kk. É fácil. Depois de fazer seu theme, tudo certo, clique com o botão direito em qualquer lugar e:

Vai abrir um código, você vai apertar ctrl + a, depois ctrl + c, agora vá ao “editar tema” e crie uma nova página, selecione “layout personalizado”, cole o código que você copiou agora a pouco e aí está a sua static preview.

Hello everyone!  I got a message asking me to make a tabs tutorial and I’m more than happy to do it.  This tutorial is intended to be general and universal instead of specific towards one type of page or theme.  Transferring tabs across mediums is very easy, so if you master the concept you can pretty much apply them anywhere.  For this tutorial you’ll need a good working knowledge of HTML and CSS, so if you need to know the basics check out my HTML/CSS Crash Course.  And, as always, W3Schools is a wonderful resource.

Note: there are more than one way to do tabs.  This is personally how I learned, and I like it because it’s pretty straightforward and doesn’t require any coding languages besides HTML and CSS.

What are HTML/CSS tabs?

Just like tabs on your web browser, you can incorporate tabs into your themes and pages.  Tabs can come in all shapes, sizes, and styles.  Some use symbols to signify a tab while others use words.  I tend to use them in all-in-one pages, but people also use them in themes.

Here it is, the highly requested theme tutorial!  This will most likely take place over the course of five parts, and by the end, you should be able to make a theme at the most basic level.  After that, it’s all experimentation and customization!  I’m going to be making the equivalent of a base code with you guys over the course of this tutorial: not very stylized code, but all the bare bones are there.  By the end, you can use this base code for your first few themes while you’re still learning!  This tutorial series will assume you know the basics of HTML and CSS, so if you don’t, check out this tutorial series that I wrote.  Alternatively, for more in depth study, check out Code Academy.  If you want to see all my theme tutorials, check out this tag.  If you have any questions along the way, feel free to message me, and, as always, W3Schools is a wonderful resource.
