Turning Your Tumblr Posts into Big, Beautiful Masterpieces
So you’ve decided that your Tumblr posts need a larger-than-life upgrade? Good call! Nothing says “I’m here, deal with it!” quite like posts that command attention. Whether you’re aiming for a booming presence or just want to make your content easier to read, the steps outlined below will show you how to make those Tumblr posts bigger and bolder, so let’s get started!
1. Rethink Your Container Size
First things first, let’s tackle the container. The .container is essentially the box that holds your entire blog—so think of it as your stage. To give your posts the space they deserve, you’ll want to adjust this value. To make your content column larger:
.container { width: 1000px; }
In this case, we’re aiming for a total width of 1000 pixels, because who doesn’t want a big canvas for their creativity? You can break it down like this:
| Column | Width |
|---|---|
| Left Column/Menu | 160px |
| Gap | 40px |
| Your Content Column | 800px |
2. Expand the Content Column
Now, onto the heart and soul of your blog: the .column.right. This is where your actual content resides, so we definitely want this area to match the width we’ve just laid out:
.column.right { width: 800px; }
By expanding this width to 800px, you’ll ensure your posts have enough room to breathe without feeling cramped. Your readers will thank you when they can easily scroll through captivating content!
3. Make Text Size Pop!
What’s the point of a big post if nobody can read it? Let’s not forget about the font size! To increase your text size, find this part of your HTML:
#posts{padding:calc(30px + {select:Post Padding}px) 0px;padding-top:0px;}
And give it a little twist:
#posts{padding:calc(30px + {select:Post Padding}px) 0px;padding-top:0px;font-size:large!important;}
This adjusts the font-size to be large and in charge! Your readers will no longer squint at their screens trying to decipher your genius!
So if you already turned your tiny posts into big, delightful presentations, congratulations! Now all that’s left is to sit back and gather those likes and reblogs.
