Hi apologies if youve answered this before- what is your workflow for creating tumblr themes? mostly i want to know what editor you use, how you're previewing your codes (if you aren't just coding from the built in theme editor), and how you start a base theme... do you copy in a base for the block/post elements? or just do it on scratch depending on the theme ? sorry if this is a weirdly worded question. i really like coding but im having trouble figuring out how to transfer that to tumblr themes

Oh, goody! When I'm starting to code a theme, I tend to sketch out the idea I have so that I don't lose it and can more easily visualize it. This isn't something you necessarily need to do, but I find it to be helpful.

I just use the Tumblr theme editor while making a theme for Tumblr. It is really the best way to do so, as well as saving your progress and opening the blog view up and looking around (since sometimes things can appear differently in editor VS live). I often do just copy the post/block elements in, and then I edit them to my needs from there and work around them (since things are often stylized differently theme to theme for me; for example, the footer and tags). I use my own base codes that I've made for myself, so I already have them set up generally the way I want and need them to be. If you have never coded a Tumblr theme, you are free to take what you need for the posts from my own work or just from using the theme documentation page.

When it comes to custom features, I also usually use them from old themes if they are really lengthy and I don't remember them offhand, i.e. stuff like rainbow gradient links I definitely don't remember off the top of my head and copy in from my previous work. However, stuff like setting up the posts, sidebar/header, positioning DIVS, and things like backgrounds and colors is slick as whistle now. But it never hurts to look up something fancy you want to do, and it never hurts to reference other people's work, either.

I 'unno if that's exactly helpful to you but I hope you enjoy coding Tumblr themes and that it doesn't give you too hard of a time!

"Sometimes the days blend together endlessly and I don't know what yesterday was or where a week ago went. Tie your fate to mine in an untidy knot and we will get through this no matter how much the string may waver."

Dear reader, please recall the times when you'd cry so hard, your chest ached with sorrow and felt heavy as an anchor, like your heart was going to become too heavy for you then and sink. The times you've felt as though you surely are drowning, or like "this is it." Once you have recalled this, make nary a mistake as to forget to recall the times when your heart could overflow with joy, and the world felt bright and blissful... That world is still there, you can return. It may not be the same, it may take time, but there is a way back, and it may be better than you remember. There's only one way to find out. Follow the path there, no matter how uneven the rocks are or how winding that path may be.
