Theme Details
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!
Scroll to the bottom for the download link.
Features:
- Additional background options (see below)
- Easily customizable CSS, logo image, background image/color and font colors.

Additional Background Options
To show how easy it is to customize this theme, I decided to find additional background options just in case you don’t like the default. After installing the Be Original Tumblr theme, click Customize, then Appearance from the top menu and insert the changes below. Don’t forget to changes the NOTES color as well.

Hi, how do I get my ask box to show up with this theme?
Hi, i like your design and layout with this theme, but I’m having trouble with the, “Ask” button, how do I add this to the, “See more” tab?
I suck with HTML codes
Please help!
Hi Arsha, this is a really great theme. first one i’ve really liked. but as someone has mentioned above, the notes won’t show when you click on the link, it just takes you to the permalink page without the notes. i can’t seem to figure out how to make the notes appear.
Hi Arsha, allow me first to thank you for this simple yet delightful design.
Is it possible at all to change the font and space formatting when it comes to TEXT. As you can see from my last few posts for POETRY DAY [that was yesterday] the poems have way too much space between the lines … and each time i try to format them, the formatting is changed again as soon as i save my post!
Secondly, is there any way i can see the notes?
Third, can i add extra buttons with “subscribe to my blog” … “contact me” … etc …
Once again thanks for your work. I would like to stay with this template if these things can be fixed, especially the formatting of fonts and line spacing. THANKS
Hello, I love this theme, thanks so much! Unfortunately, I seem to have the same problem with Notes not showing up when I click the Notes Count on any post…any help would be greatly appreciated!
This is a great theme, I will use it no matter what, I was just wondering if the sidebar could be locked somehow, or if there’s a version where it is… it’s a cool thing the “see more”, but I do like it locked.
I changed the font of the title but it would not change, How do you change this?
I tried getting rid of:
#container {
width: 770px;
margin: 70px auto;
overflow: hidden;
but then nothing was centered. Any help?
and where are you dear ARSHA? who will answer our questions?
i need your help or i am forced to switch and change to another tumblr theme, alas!
were any fixes made regarding lines spacing and notes viewing?
How can I add a Follow Me twitter button onto this theme?
