Today, Snipplx has a better vision in sharing the knowledge and answering the questions.Thus we’ve take a decision to expand it further. And Customize My Tumblr will be the destination. It will do what Snipplx do here and at the same time share informative post and tutorials, mostly related to your Tumblr customization.

Thanks for all the support and for the visit. We’ll see you at Customize My Tumblr to continue what we’ve started.

Thank you.

Q:on my blog's page, there is a big blank spot at the top of the page. and it makes the posts only start a few inches down. how do i get rid of it so that the posts start right at the top of the page?

Oh wow, your theme author kinda mess it up. Anyway, here’s how. Get into your custom HTML editor (I assume you know, if you don’t you can always come back and ask again ;) ), and search for class="prettyprint" and just before the pre tag, make a comment like this :

<!-- <pre class="prettyprint"></pre> -->

So you know those two error at the front and the back. This will comment that line and prevent it from showing up. Alternatively, you can always paste in Custom CSS and set it to display:none;

.prettyprint { display : none; }

Before you proceed, just letting you know that I don’t know if removing those line will break your theme or not. So it always a good thing to comment or do the css way like I did instead of removing the whole line. Once you feels that its not hay-wiring your theme, feel free to remove them if you want to.

Q:i'm still trying to size all my images to 500px wide but for some reason nothing you've said works... do i need something else in my CSS besides the code you posted? do i need to put the HTML in a particular place? is there something "canceling out" the effects of the image resizing?

asmoron

That’s because of some of the images aren’t up to 500px wide. So if you want to FORCE it to be stretch to 500px, you need to set its width to 500px. In your theme, it uses max-width: 100% which is not the css we need. All you gotta do is to set the width to 500px, and every images will stretch them self to 500px wide even if they’re not wide enough.

#wrapper #content .post img { width: 500px; }

Apply that in your custom CSS and you’re good to go.

Q:Hey, I was wondering if there was a way to size all my posts to 500px when I post them. With my current theme, if they're under 500px they freeze my gifsets and it's really annoying. If you scroll down on my blog you can find a few of the frozen gifsets.

scratch-the-maven

Well to be honest, I’ve scrolled all the way down, and didn’t see any freezing gif. Even the one smaller than 400px seems to working well. Though it might help you if you apply the CSS below in the custom CSS :

.entry img {max-width: 100%;}

I don’t know if its gonna help ultimately, but I do face with this issue before and seems to be fixed with this. So hope it helps you too.

Q:i'm sorry for that ha,what kind of example would you need? my last post is a regular post and transparent and the one before it is the photoset that isn't showing up transparent. i tried putting some snippets of code that i thought might do something in the photoset block but it ended up completely removing the photosets

skindiving

I mean I need a photoset post on your blog so I can see how it works there. Alternatively, you can apply some CSS to it. Photoset doesn’t not work straight forwardly as it is inside an iframe so you must apply onto it.

By default if yours uses Tumblr’s photoset this should probably work and apply this in your custom CSS :

iframe.photoset {
			opacity: 0.5; //change this to the level you want between 0-1
		}

And of course opacity not playing well with IE, but the workaround is simple enough you can found it everywhere. Just make sure to apply it at the selector above.

Q:is there anything that can be done to make photosets transparent like the rest of my blog, or even re-size them to 600px across ? been having a lot of difficulty with it every attempt i make just takes the photosets right off my blog

skindiving

Yeah sure it can be done. I just need an example of it on your blog.

It was a terrifying blog anyway. :X

Using Google Font In Your Blog

Google Web Fonts started few years ago with a small number of fonts selection. Right now it have over 500 font families. Some of them are not that good, but there’s a lot of them was actually good and beautiful. This post aim to help you to change the font of your blog with your font of choice from Google.

To get started, go to Google Font gallery and choose your font. In this example, I’ve choose Open sans.

Next, click quick use link at the bottom of the font, which you can see from the screenshot above.

Then, select the font styles you want.

After that copy the link code and paste them inside your custom HTML editor. Make sure to paste it inside the head and probably after all the existing stylesheet.

And lastly, added the font-family into your stylesheet. The easy way for you to apply this font for the rest of the theme is to apply it to the body. Inside the custom CSS, paste the code you copied before.

body {
	font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
	font-size: 14px;
	...
}

Well the CSS above might work and might not. So you have to investigate some other option so that your blog use the font you choose. Maybe you can apply it to the paragraph tag or headings, depending on the situation. Good luck trying!

Q:Hey. You're doing a really great thing here. İ have couple of questions actually. Here is the first. İ hope you can help. İ used a css code for center my images in my posts. (I think without that css code, my great but VERY LIMITED theme doesn't support centered images) So i was wondering, can i do the same centering thing for my other objects? For example widgets. (You can check this out one of my latest posts, as you can see the image is centered, but the widget is not. Is there any way? Thnx

karavus

Hey! I’ve checked out your blog, nice one. But unfortunately I don’t get the question up to my thick skull. But if you meant to center other stuff other than only the images, say the video player, like Youtube or Vimeo, you can apply the same trick on the object or iframe of the player. For example, Vimeo usually uses iframe, so the CSS for your blog would be something like :

.videoHolder iframe {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
