If it’s zipped, it needs to be extracted before you can use it.

Jane asks…

Is there any tumblr generators online?

I just started a tumblr and I don’t really want to use a theme that’s premade, is there a site that allows you to customize your tumblr? I only found one, but it doesn’t even allow you to upload your own images.

I tried whateverlife.com but that site NEVER loads anymore, the server connection times out.

Thanks in advance!

admin answers:

Nope, there’s none other than the one you’re talking about (believe me, I’m quite familiar with that one xD)

If you have some time on your hands, you can learn custom CSS. It’s not extremely hard, especially with tumblr. Just choose a theme you like and edit the code to suit what you want it to look like.
