hi!
So I recommend looking at the official documentation for theme making. It’s a good reference for what blocks and variables you can use.

I also made a base code that includes all the basic things your theme needs, including theme garden requirements. It’s intended to be used for learning so you are free to edit as much as you want and release it as your own theme.

I started making a guide to go with it that goes over what the blocks are doing. Here’s the guide for blocks and variables, the guide for posts in general, and the tips for theme options/styling.

Feel free to use the guide even if you don’t want to use my base code. Aside from mine, theme-hunter has a tag for base codes!

🔗 ；⸺ at.tumblr.com links remover

[image description: a screenshot of an online tool that says “tumblr - remove at.tumblr.com on link shares”. The prompt label says “Paste in the Tumblr link you copied”, and includes two examples of such links. It finishes with a button that says “Do the thing please”, with all the words capitalized, and a click icon. end ID ]

When a post link is copied via mobile, it can appear as the following variants:

𝟙 〜 at.tumblr.com / {𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎} / {𝚌𝚊𝚙𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗_𝚝𝚎𝚡𝚝} / {𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐_𝚒𝚍}
𝟚 〜 at.tumblr.com / {𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎} / {𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚝_𝚒𝚍} / {𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐_𝚒𝚍}
𝟛 〜 tumblr.com / {𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎} / post / {𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚝_𝚒𝚍}

I made a tool that converts them back to their original permalinks so when they’re shared on social media, the previews should show again.

👉🏼 at-tumblr-links.glitch.me

You can bookmark this on your phone or your desktop browser so you can quickly access it when you need it!

Currently, it’s not known which at.tumblr.com link format will proc under what circumstances. If it has a 𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚝_𝚒𝚍 in it, that’s good news. If it doesn’t, we need to ask a URL un-shortener service to follow the redirects for us. But this tool should accommodate any format regardless. It’s not perfect, but I hope it helps.

Read more about at.tumblr.com tracking links [here].

If you run into any issues, you can report them to me via Discord or Tumblr ask.
