A little over 3 years ago I signed up for a Tumblr account but left it inactive for over 2 years. Then in July of last year, I decided to start tumblring and to my surprise I really liked the platform. Something about the community it creates, how reblogging, liking and following is just one click away. How quickly you start following people and people follow you back. It’s great. Don’t get me wrong, it wouldn’t be a platform I’d use for everything, but as a visual sketchbook. Sure. To post random thoughts, why not.
What’s neat about the Tumblr Dashboard is that when logged in you see the most recent posts of the sites you are following. Making it easy to view, like, and/or reblog. The only thing I found is that I didn’t like the look of the dashboard. Too blue, dark and not very attractive. I’m all for pretty… hey, what can I say this is how I chose to life my life, So when I saw that there was a Chrome and Firefox extension called Stylish to make the dashboard pretty, I have to confess I got all giddy. I know, I’m pure cheese.
Here are examples of a few available themes. I’m currently using Doodle and Lace Tumblr, the first one. What can I say, I’m a girly girl.
Doodle and Lace Tumblr
Perfect Lullabye
Vintage Style
Alice in Wonderland
In case you don’t follow me, you can see some inspiration, random thoughts and weight progress on my 2 tumblr sites. Glamour This! - which is daily inspiration, and Wait, No Weight – my weight/diet/get back into shape site.
If you are tumblring please link me to your site. I’d love to follow you back 
Until then… enjoy prettifying your tumblr dashboard. I literally spend hours looking at all the themes.
