One of my absolute favorite things about Tumblr is that users are trusted with an extreme level of customization if they choose to take advantage of it, instead of having to settle with some other theme that ends up being totally disconnected from the rest of your website. Although an inexact science, It’s actually not too hard to create a custom Tumblr theme that looks just like your WordPress install (or any other blog system, really). All it takes is some CSS/HTML knowledge, the ability to identify different sections of your WordPress theme, and a basic understanding of how Tumblr formats its posts. The steps are as follows:
-
1. Pick base theme
2. Move Tumblr’s CSS to an external file (optional)
3. Copy/paste header from WordPress
4. Copy/paste Tumblr theme code
5. Copy/paste footer from WordPress
