Bug Fix: Embedding Flickr Photos
I just realized that I forgot to upload the most current javascript file when I last updated the theme. This means that if you tried to embed your Flickr photos the way the How To explains, your photos wouldn’t show up on your blog.
I fixed this and updated the theme file in the theme garden, but it could take a few days to go through (they are almost as bad as Apple up there).
Anyway, if you don’t want to wait, replace the second javascript source with this:

That should do the trick. If you have any problems, you can always try and get in touch with me.

Photosets, or just another update
I just added updated the theme code to inculde Photosets. Until the changes are approved, all you have to do for now is add this line of code inside the
{block:Posts}{/block:Posts}tags:{block:Photoset} <p class="object">{Photoset-500}</p> {block:Caption}<div class="caption">{Caption}</div>{/block:Caption} {/block:Photoset}That is the exact code I added to the theme file, and the Theme Garden should reflect the update in a couple of days (maybe fewer since the Tumblr staff just released a new post format and might get on their horse for this one).

Theme Update
The new update just made it through. Here are the changes:
- Added automatic support for Twitter
- Made it even easier to embed your Flickr photos
- Added tags to posts
- Conditionally add/remove “About” link based on whether or not you have filled in your blog description
- Added a search pop-up
- Made the Title Text customizable
- Reduced the size of the background image so it loads a bit faster
I think that’s it. Enjoy!
Also, for those who offered to test the theme out, thank you. I actually only got the theme to one person, but since you offered, I’ll still customize a version of Field Notes or Photorific (when I finally finish it) for you if you want. Just contact me. You can find my email here.

Need a few Beta testers
I am about to post an updated version of this theme to the Theme Garden, and while everything basically looks the same, I’ve added a few features and changed a little bit of the markup. This means, as usual, I’ve probably messed something up along the way.
So, instead of going back and fixing multiple bugs and updating/uploading multiple files, I’d like to get this version as close to thunder as Zeus. Wait, what?
Anyway, if you currently have Twitter setup through your Tumblr account settings, and you have a Flickr stream you would like to include in your theme, let me know and I’ll set you up with a new theme file.
For the first two people who help me out, I will completely customize one of my themes just for you. Either this one, or my yet to be released, block rockin’ Photorific Theme (it displays HighRes photos!). You can find my email here.
Things to look out for:
- Load times. Does the page load fast enough? Background image? Twitter/Flickr widgets?
- How do the tags look?
- Does anything look out of place?
- Any feature missing?
That’s it really. More of an overhaul underneath than anything else. Anyone interested?
