About
This theme emulates a cork-board adorned with Post-It notes. The arrangement of the posts on the board is somewhat stochastic owing to post length and ordering. Best results will be seen in wide browser windows.
Looking for something specific?
Changes:
- Rewrote the page structure to support a sticky footer and to better handle the vagaries of IE6.
- Changed the width of long posts to properly accommodate the width of image and video objects.
- Revised the formatting of chat and quote posts.
- Added support for tumblelog searching.
Changes:
- By popular demand, the no-dates version has returned, cleverly integrated into the dated version. To suppress the dates on posts, just remove the two lines from the source that include the phrase “Remove this line to hide dates”.
- Added links to the user definable colors.
Changes:
- Added support for Post Notes feature
- Added custom CSS support
Note: Going forward, I’ve standardized on the Dated version of the theme in anticipation of moving this theme to the Tumblr Garden. If there’s great outcry with this decision, I’m amenable to revisiting this decision.
Jon Steinberg asked if it would be possible to date stamp the posts. Sure it is.

Design Note
Turns out you cannot use { block:Post# } blocks within the post blocks (such as { block:Text }). That sucks because it forced me to statically define the float property based on post type rather than post position. It still works this way, but it is less random.
I’ve no idea why this is among my bookmarks. There’s not a subway within a thousand miles of me.
