Print Theme
“Print Theme” is my first publicly available Tumblr theme.
The theme just started with the CMYK-type colour block, I hadn’t seen anyone else use this as a feature and I worked the rest of the layout around it.

It features HTML5 markup [with HTML5 Shiv], <article>, <section>, <nav>, <header> etc. and some subtle CSS3 transitions on the pagelinks [older browsers will exhibit default behaviour]. CSS Gradients for the search button. I have used vendor specific attributes where needed.
The theme usese ‘@media print’ print specific styling.
Issues
If you have problems trying to enable features or functionality, plase take a look at the excellent resource Tumblr provides regarding creating cutom themes. If you are trying to add a widget or embed something, most services now offer a Tumblr tailored option and provide specific supporting documentation.
You can ask and I may reply.
