You may or may not know this, but I am on Tumblr. You can see my Tumblr feed here. I have it because…. why not? I get pleasantly surprised when people randomly come across my blog posts that I have share on Tumblr. It’s cool to see that they found me through Tumblr and not any other source of the web. Why? That’s because everyone is different.
Not everyone is on Twitter. Not everyone knows who I am or what I do, but they do search and when they find something I post relative to their search on Tumblr, they find me. So that’s pretty much the story behind that.
I find Tumblr themes to be pretty cool though. They all follow a certain blogging format, but in Tumblr’s unique way. So here are my two favorite free Tumblr Themes for this month.
Cassadaga
What I love the most about the Cassadage Tumblr theme is that it delivers a clean message. Images, links, and bio are all clearly seen and well presented. I’m a sucker for circle pictures. Can you blame me for sharing this one? Great layout overall.

Shade
I know, I know… another circle bio picture… I just love them! Don’t you? This free Tumblr theme, Shade, is great for photography. The feed is a little busier and allows you to see more posts at a glance. It adds a very dynamic look to your Tumblr blog, without sacrificing beauty. Just a solid looking theme.

Are you a Tumblr user? What themes have you been using lately?
Liking Shade too. Nice, for a grid theme.
Brick is rather nice too, though not without its flaws: https://www.tumblr.com/theme/37988
Publisher is also nice, but in a different, more minimal kind of sense. http://publishertheme.tumblr.com
I find there are a ton of themes that are very much the same. There are so so many tumblr grid themes that are one and the same, and the majority overlook decent typography and readability. Then there’s a ton of one-column minimal themes that all look the same.
I’m learning to code/design and will be building one in time! It’ll be to my liking, and hopefully i’ll do a decent job. :)
Observer theme is nice -> https://www.tumblr.com/theme/36900. (Using it on my Tumblr…with a few code customizations)
Before that I was using Written -> https://www.tumblr.com/theme/38737.
I developed a Tumblr theme, but for some reason it would only work on a friend’s Tumblr (not even mine!).
Awesome roundup Jacob,
I really love the Shade theme, it’s one of my all time favorite :) I created a free Tumblr theme here: https://www.softwarefindr.com/reviews/gosimon-tumblr/ that I think would serve a great additional resource for your readers.
Let me know what you think?
Thanks for sharing Brian! I’ll check it out!
