i think we should have a custom blog theme renaissance
and i don’t just mean making more of them, i also mean appreciation of them and making them a central part of tumblr’s site culture again. no other popular social media site (although tumblr technically is a microblogging site) really offers this level of aesthetic and functional customization anymore. it’s maybe a header, a bio, and an icon.
i remember when putting a lot of effort into themes, mutual theme “ratings”, complimenting users on their pages, proudly announcing theme changes/customizations, and appreciating theme makers for their work was a norm on this site. it’s how many young people got into html.
i know many people are primarily mobile users but when on desktop… who cares if tumblr makes it a little difficult to get directly to someone’s blog page these days. i think themes are a really excellent part of tumblr and i don’t want them quietly guttering out.
