Best Tumblr Theme Generators and Custom Tumblr Themes
Just because there are 12
year olds creating Tumblr themes does not mean it is easy, but on the other
hand, it is not too complex for most people to take on.

The link above is for a
Theme generator. It is a WordPress Theme
generator and it is all that you will need to create a Tumblr theme.
Before you ask, yes there
are other ways to make themes, just like there is more than one way to bake a
cake. The link above gives you the
easiest way in my opinion. It allows you
to create your very own WordPress theme without having to know any web design
code or any programmer’s code. You will
not need to know or use Java script, PHP, Html, or CSS.
With the tools on this
online link you can adjust the color and settings of your Theme. You can change its layout and then see it
live. You can save your progress online
so that you can alter it without losing your previous work. You can also download your new theme into a zip
file for your own offline use and storage.
The online tool allows themes to be made that are compatible with most
browsers/systems.
In the same way that a
man with five colors in his pallet may need to mix a few to paint a rainbow,
this tool is not exhaustive. You can do
most basic theme manipulation functions, but you will probably need a little
extra to be able to make award winning themes.
When you first start, try
the preview button at the very bottom to get a look at what you are
creating. If your browser updates
automatically, then you will be able to see the changes you make happen as you
make them.
For example if you click
onto one of the small boxes of color, you will see the color chart come up so
that you can pick yours. Pop your cursor
and click on the color you desire and then click the word save at the top right
of the box. If your browser updates in
time then you will see the thing you changed the color of, change on the
screen.
To test this out, at the
very top of the tool where it says site name, change its title from “WP
Generator Blog” to whatever you please, and you will see the big title name
change on the right hand side too. If it
does not change right away then go to the bottom of the page and click on
preview.
The best tutorial online,
(in my opinion), for creating a custom html theme is below:
