Redirect your old tumblr links to your new url--the correct way!
A quick Google search told me that apparently no one knows how to do this properly :P You can redirect all your links from your old tumblr url to the same respective links on your new tumblr url (as long as you have your old url saved i.e. on a sideblog). This doesn’t just always redirect old links to your new tumblr’s homepage.
This is like going to: http://oddhouredproductivity.tumblr.com/tagged/tips (try it!)
and the URL automatically changes to: http://oddhour.tumblr.com/tagged/tips
If you’ve ever tried to find a post from someone’s old url on their new url, you know how annoying it can be.
How to use: Add this script either before your end body tag (</body>) or in the head section (<head></head>) of the tumblr where you saved your old URL. Change oddhour.tumblr.com to whatever your new URL is.
<script> /* redirect to new blog :: questions? ask oddhour on tumblr */ location.replace('http://oddhour.tumblr.com' + location.pathname); </script>
To add a delay before redirecting, refer to this post.
For a simple redirect theme like mine or for an example of this script in use (with delay), see the code here.
Have a question? First check the #redirect code tag.

AUTOMATIC REDIRECT URL THEME preview // download
UPDATE (13. 2. 2014): fixed a problem if your tumblr blog gets redirected to .co.vu domain
Please do not copy, take and/or redistribute parts of the code
I am serious, I will recognize my code.
All questions regarding functionality and/or troubleshooting please refer here.
Like/reblog if you’re using, I am thirsty for notes.
Features:
Optional image: 128px wide - wil be resized
All colours can be customized, as well as other things
Theme will automatically redirect to new url.
Why is this theme so awesome and should definitely be used instead of other redirect url themes:
When I say AUTOMATIC REDIRECT, I literally mean fully automatic. Let me explain: Most of the times someone types is your old url and they get to the main page of your blog, then they get redirected to the main page of your old blog. Yes, I know, nothing groundbreaking. What is, however, groundbreaking, is that when that someone clicks a link that’s a permalink to one of your posts on your old blog, they don’t want to end up on the main page of your new blog. They want that one post. This theme will get them there (if that particular post/subpage still exists on your new blog, that is). And that’s why you should use it the next time you change your url.
If the post/subpage doesn’t exist on your new blog anymore (because you deleted it or remade blogs or whatever), they will see the Not found page on your new blog.

Theme 15: 12 Years by enbythemes preview | code
Thank you for 12 fantastic years. We truly went through so much together. It was an honor to grow up with you. ❤
What started out (over 3 years ago...) as a silly little idea turned into a somewhat therapeutic release during my grieving process earlier this year.
features and options:
100px icon with customizable shape: circle, rounded, or squared
Posts Sizes: 400px / 450px / 500px / 540px
Dropdown navigation with three custom links + endless with tumblr pages
Responsive
Light/Dark toggle
NPF support
Optional dark mode image filter(s) that slightly takes down the brightness
Optional rounded corners for a more softer look
notes:
the tumblr customization page is buggy. be sure to save and view on your blog before sending me any message about problems
disclaimer: this was never meant to be a "serious" theme and it still isn't. I obviously tried to make it a fully working theme but I have a feeling some things (particularly videos) might be wonky.

moodboard by @softcodes
preview / code
single column theme with a sidebar featuring a moodboard! there are nine 125px images. i suggest using a website like unsplash (free to use) to find images and crop them into squares. you can upload images that aesthetically go together, or there is a "pale images" option which will take some of the saturation out of the photos and make them match a little bit more, aesthetically.
five post sizes, any google font for the body text and title text, five custom sidebar links. custom title and description. this theme uses the iconsax icon font, and you can find more icons for the sidebar links here.
some aspects of this theme might look wonky in the tumblr preview but will look fine on the actual blog! all sidebar images in preview via unsplash. (full list of credits here.)
pls let me know if you find any bugs! would appreciate a like/reblog if you use :)

Ocular — Version 3
Preview // User Guide // More Info & Install
your favorite sidebar theme just got an upgrade, babeyyy
I went to update Ocular to make it NPF post-compliant and then my hand slipped and I redesigned the whole thing lmao. here's a brief update about Ocular 3; if you're looking for a full list of changes between versions 2 and 3, click the "Read More" below)
Ocular comes with the following features:
Colors: easily change the color scheme of your sidebar and posts using any colors you want
Post sizes: 400px, 500px, 540px, 600px, 700px
Sidebar: can be on the left, right, or above the posts. pick from a list of sidebar sizes, header image heights, and avatar shapes
Fonts: 20 different fonts, sizes 13px to 18px
Background: solid, gradient, full-size image or repeating image
Links: choose either regular navigation or drop-down navigation. unlimited custom links (visit the help desk FAQ for a tutorial) and ability to rename home, ask, submit, and archive links
Endless scroll, custom ask box text, Tumblr's full-width controls and search bar, optional header, avatar, and favicon images
if you already have Ocular installed, version 3 should be coming at you as soon as the update passes the theme garden. if you installed this theme with GitHub, you'll have to re-install manually.
now let's get to the fun stuff. what's new in version 3?
wow, do I have some updates for you!
1. goodbye color schemes, hello post background and text colors
you can now directly control the color of the posts rather than relying on color schemes to do it. want your posts to be a very specific shade of navy? all yours, buddy. go wild (make sure it's readable tho)
2. hello, color schemes! wait I thought we got rid of that guy
a lot of the color schemes I made became redundant now that the new post background/text color options exist. if you were married to the old color schemes, all of them can be recreated using those options. so the new color scheme options are as follows:
"My colors" — uses the colors you picked for post background/text
"Light preset" and "dark preset" — sets the posts to white with black text, or off-black with white text
"Translucent" — uses the colors you choose for post background/text, but makes the post backgrounds semi-transparent. there are NINE different translucent color schemes, ranging from 90% (only slightly see-through) to 10% (VERY see through)
3. navigation dropdown option
you can either use the sidebar links like they were before, or you can turn them into a cute little dropdown (helpful if you have lots of links or links with long titles!) you can enable this using the "use dropdown navigation" setting. you can also customize the label for the dropdown using the "dropdown menu label" setting. for instance, the dropdown on my blog currently says "oooh you wanna click me"
4. RIP google fonts I always hated your load times
decided to stop using Google Fonts and instead I'm providing the font files directly in the code. this will help speed up load times drastically when using custom fonts, plus I don't have to use Google. win-win! there's quite a bit of coverage overlap with the old fonts, but some of them that were too similar to each other got the ax. I also added all of the system fonts as options (hit classics like Arial, Georgia, and Comic Sans MS are now available TO YOU!)
5. more layout, sizing, and spacing options
the sidebar used to be either on the center-left, center-right, or above the posts; now it can go in the top-left or top-right! you can now control the border radius on the posts and sidebar. the header height, sidebar width, and post spacing all have additional options.
6. some options have been renamed for additional clarity
"background color 1" -> "background color"
"background color 2" -> "gradient background color"
"background" -> "background style"
"font override" -> "use body font everywhere"
"title" -> "sidebar title"
"description" -> "sidebar description"
"ask box text" -> "custom HTML above ask box"
7. removed some options
you win some, you lose some. I removed the uppercase sidebar links, theme credit, and inline media spacing options, mostly for redundancy reasons or because they produced unclear results.
8. as previously stated, now NPF-compliant
Ocular was ALMOST compliant with Tumblr's new post format, but had a few tweaks that needed to be ironed out. they're now ironed.
9: now user-friendly right out of the box
I updated the default color and content options, so new users installing this theme will have a much easier time using and customizing it immediately. no more ugly ass green background!
10. and finally, new JS
I had to rewrite some of the javascript for this theme, which turned into me rewriting ALL of the javascript. doing so meant that I could eliminate dependencies on third-party JS libraries and run the whole thing on plain JS. that should improve load times!!
bonus: custom CSS can do some nifty stuff now
want to change the size of your avatar? you can do that now! just do this to your Advanced > Add custom CSS section
super helpful if you're using the Avatar shape: Uncropped setting and you need your image to be a specific size (like a pixelated GIF)
for more info, check out the Ocular user guide. thanks for reading my updates!! hope you all have a fantastic start to your 2024 ❤️
