Making notes visible when using a Tumblr theme that doesn’t show them

tumblrtumblr-themes

I have just created a Tumblr blog using the Indy theme. After creating a new post I noticed that the notes do not show up, just a short line. I tried searching for an option to make the notes visible, but I could not find it. As it was pointed out, apparently not all themes display notes.

How do I make the notes visible if using the Indy theme?

What changes do I have to make to its HTML?

Here is my blog if you need to see what I am talking about:

You need to edit your theme and add the code responsible for including notes.

For the standard display, add {PostNotes} in the block responsible for displaying a single post, e.g. in {block:Posts} … {/block:Posts}.

Yes and No. Can't contribute a theme without making it public but you can deploy custom CSS.

Under the dashboard - advanced tab - enter custom CSS values to override everything. Their element identifiers are well defined and can be over-written easily.

Tumblr Themes – How to Make Tags Visible

Go to the Customize section after you log in
Click on the Theme tab
Click Use custom HTML

This will bring up a edit box that contains the HTML and tumblr code used by the theme.

Put the code for the tags somewhere between the opening {block:Posts} and closing {/block:Posts} tags.

To start off easy, let's put the tags at the bottom of all your post types.

Where you see the following line:

{/block:Posts}

Insert the following starting chunk to look like this:

    {block:HasTags}
       {block:Tags}
          <a href="{TagURL}">{Tag}</a>
       {/block:Tags}
    {/block:HasTags}

{/block:Posts}

Click Update preview in the lower right corner of the edit box (or it will update itself)
Click Save + Close in the upper right of the dashboard.

Refresh your tumblr blog and you should now see the tags display.

You can read more of the specific tags markup needed on the Tags section of "Creating a custom HTML theme"
