Yesterday, Amit Gupta had a great suggestion to include thumbnails on Video posts in the Dashboard:
I love Tumblr, but I almost never watch the videos people post. But I click on photos to see the bigger version all the time.
Video posts could really use a still frame to give you a peek at what’s inside.
Anyone else feel this way?
We were already doing this with videos uploaded to Tumblr. Now we’ll also show thumbnails next to YouTube videos.
Thanks, Amit!
Two awesome new features for theme designers: Theme Permalinks and Theme Author Pages.
You can now link directly to your theme on Tumblr to promote it yourself. People can also browse all your themes on your Theme Author Page like: http://www.tumblr.com/themes/by/petervidani
HUGE Theme Upgrades!
We just enabled a massive list of new Appearance Options for theme designers including Custom Fonts, Booleans (useful for toggling options), Custom Text (useful for enabling widgets), and Custom Images!
Some of these features are already available in Jacob Bijani’s and Peter Vidani’s themes, so try them out.
Designers - here’s a quick preview of what’s now possible:
<html> <head> <meta name="image:Background" content="http://static.tumblr.com/..."/> <meta name="image:Header" content=""/> <meta name="font:Body" content="Arial"/> <meta name="text:Flickr Username" content=""/> <style type="text/css"> body { background: #2D567C url('{image:Background}'); font: normal 14px {font:Body}; } </style> </head> <body> {block:IfHeaderImage} <img src="{image:Header}"/> {/block:IfHeaderImage} {block:IfNotHeaderImage} <h1>{title}</h1> {/block:IfNotHeaderImage} {block:IfFlickrUsername} <div id="flickr_widget"> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://flickr.com/widget?user={text:Flickr Username}"> </script> </div> {/block:IfFlickrUsername} </body> </html>Tomorrow morning we’ll be promoting all the themes with these new options enabled, so hurry!
