Barcelonia update!
Until tumblr gets their act together, you can manually update your Barcelonia theme in just a few simple steps:
- Go here, select everything (Ctrl + A) and copy (Ctrl + C)
- Go to your Customizations area
- Click “Theme” > “Use Custom HTML”
- Select everything in that box (Ctrl + A) then paste over (Ctrl + V)
- Click “Update Preview”
- If everything looks alright, you’re done! Click SAVE!
Tumblr has a weird bug where it loses your customizations (colours, strings, etc) so you should copy this somewhere safe just in case. If everything looks weird, try clicking “Reset Defaults” and start over.
Whats new in this version?
- Columns are now appended by height, so you get a more natural layout and reading flow.
- The back button is fixed. If you click a post that was dynamically loaded using scrolling forever, then press back, you’re taken right back to where you clicked instead of the bottom of the first page.
- You now get Facebook “Like” buttons on individual posts. This is optional, since not everyone is a social freak like me.
- I’ve also added OpenGraph metadata tags. This means if people share your content on Facebook (or instapaper, etc) your content gets correctly parsed and is returned in a pretty way. Try sharing or liking one of my blog posts for an example.
- Modern browsers get nice, smooth hover animations on posts.
- Webkit browsers, IE9 and future firefox builds get fancy text rendering.
- Selecting text now follows your custom colour pallet. (It’s the little things like this).
As always, I hope you enjoy my theme. Please let me know if you have any trouble with it or whatever. And let’s all bug tumblr to finish reviewing this thing already. It’s been in their “Moderation” queue for days!
