  • why do people hate on you so much i mean, all your doing is trying to help everyone else, the no lifes

  • nice video but who's your intended audience? Anyone who has prior knowledge with CSS/HTML will be able to make a simple Tumblr theme just by looking at Tumblr's written tutorial. So for the most part people who have very little to no knowledge will be watching this video. So after watching this video it is honestly not that helpful to those people. You just say what you see on the screen without really getting into it. You'll just leave the viewer more confused. At least that's my take on it.

see all

  • @ghttboi I got back into html and css (forgot everything from school ) very recently because I'm trying to help a fr with her blog and I thought it will be a good way to get into this by having things to practice on. Honestly his theme is easy to follow and easy to edit as long as you have a basic knowledge, but still have no clue what you're doing because you've never done sth bigger than a paragraph. His video really helped me out and made everything more manageable.

  • how did you code content area and sidebar?
