A Showcase of Great Looking Tumblr Themes
Tubmlr has gained a lot of fans over the last 5 years, and with good reason. Whereas many blogging platforms are striving to add more and more features to their platform, Tumblr has stayed true to its microblogging roots by keeping things simple. This has resulted in one of the most user friendly interfaces available online.
And though it may be simple, it still has some great features. There are a wide range of post formats to choose from and you can automatically update your Tumblr page with your latest entries from Facebook and Twitter.
The Tumblr design can be changed in seconds through your Tumblr dashboard. There are over 1,200 free and premium themes currently available in the Tumblr Theme Garden. Today we would like to share with you 30 great designs from the ranks. You can install any of these themes easily through the customise section of Tubmlr. Enjoy!

Hi Kevin,
nice selection, but really missing one theme .. namely my free theme ;-P
Official Tumblr Theme Garden item, so one-click for a new minimal typographic Tumblr theme, as easy as pie!
Thanks for sharing, cheers & ciao ..
Nice collection. I really like the Solaris theme. I should use Tumblr more, it is a great platform. Does anyone here run their main Blog using this platform?
These are a great collection of beautiful themes. I also side with Tom in wondering if anyone uses Tumblr as their platform for their main blog. Thanks for taking the time to put this together, Kevin.
There is no need of any special technical skills to use these themes and you can easily and quickly post your images, quotes, videos, slide show, text or your photos. There is also an option to remove the original domain name and use a custom domain name. The Tumblr themes could be especially very useful for the internet marketers or the social media marketers as they are very unique and are steadily growing.
Hi
What a great collection of themes – simple, interactive, expressive, presentation at it’s best.
super likes for these themes.
