What is Tumblyzer?

Tumblyzer is a test and validation harness for creating Tumblr themes.

Is Tumblyzer for me?

Tumblyzer is intended for website designers who want to produce Tumblr themes. It will help you makes themes that produce valid, semantically-meaningful HTML. You do not need to know much, if anything, about programming. But you'll have to dork out a little: Tumblyzer works on the command line, not in one of those fancy-pants windows with their shiny buttons.

How do I get Tumblyzer?

If you're on Mac with OS X 10.5 or above, congrats — you have basically everything you need already installed. If you're on Windows or Unix, you'll need to install Ruby and RubyGems. Once you're done with that, ask yourself: "self, how well do you know Git?".

"What's Git?"

  1. Download the project as a tarball or ZIP archive
  2. Unpack the archive to somewhere like /Users/my_username/projects/tumblyzer (a.k.a. ~/projects/tumblyzer). We'll call this directory "TUMBLYZER_ROOT" from now on.

"Not as well as Scott Chacon, but fine"

OK, I've got it. Now what?

  • Check out the example themes in TUMBLYZER_ROOT/themes/
  • Open a command prompt and navigate to TUMBLYZER_ROOT, then run rake test to watch all the tests run on all the themes
  • Create your own template in TUMBLYZER_ROOT/themes/ and run rake test again. Do the tests pass? If you're not as opinionated as us about the "right" way to write HTML, try rake test:bare_minimum.

Can I use the themes included in the project?

YES! All themes are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license license.

Will you put my theme in the example themes folder?

We'd be glad to have it so long as you license it under the CC-BY license. Oh, and it has to pass all the bare_minimum tests.

Can I use the project code?

All code (everything that isn't in the themes/ folder) is licensed under the MIT license. Have at!
