Rio Theme

arsha — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 18:34:47 +0000

The Rio Theme for Tumblr has finally been finished. Well actually, it’s been finished for months, but for some reason Tumblr (and Peter Vindani) won’t add it to Tumblr’s Theme Garden. The only response I received was “Does not fit accepted Tumblr blog functionality or aesthetics.”

WTF!?!?!

Maybe it’s because I borrowed the original design from Amy and Pink’s WordPress Rio Theme, but I think the design is HOT! I even went the extra mile to contact Marcel from Amy & Pink to get permission to recreate their WordPress theme for Tumblr. So I honestly have no idea what’s the issue.

With that said, I’m releasing the theme on my own, with the hopes that you will love it just as much as I do! Let me know what you think.

Be Original

This is the first (of many) free Tumblr themes designed by me, Arsha. I learned how to make a Tumblr theme by following a step-by-step video tutorial series offered by NetTuts. I am far from a coder or web developer, but finishing this theme is a great accomplishment for me.

There were a few bumps the the road, but I managed to get done without throwing my laptop out the window!
