Side navigation in Tumblr
UPDATE: Tumblr 3 now has an archive page at your.tumblr.com/archive/ listing all your posts. Perhaps you will rather use that than this hack.
So, time for a new layout… when I was working as webdesigner in Brighton, I was a big fan of the 3-columns layout:
Content
Side content
Relevant stuff
I prefer to do not show more that 1 or 2 posts in the home page, but the Previous and Next buttons are quite poor about describing the next posts.
A list with all the latest articles could solve the problem, and it can give a glimpse of what Tumblr Hacks is about.
Creating a navigation with titles is very easy. We just have to parse our RSS feed into a column (or space of your choice)
First, go to: http://itde.vccs.edu/rss2js/build.php.
Put your RSS feed address (yourname.tumblr.com/rss), along with all the options. We are talking about a navigation so, keep it simple.
Click Generate, grab the code, paste it into your template. Use their style tool to adapt it to your Theme.
