Margin Notes is a Tumblr theme with a single reading column that keeps essays and text posts at the centre. It suits essayists, researchers, critics, educators and independent publishers sharing long-form writing. Newsreader sets the text in a book serif, while dates and tags sit in the margins like notes beside an essay. These details give the layout a quiet, writerly feel. You can customise the colours, choose photo caption placement, enable drop caps and add a header note.
The theme supports all Tumblr post types, along with reblog trails and tags. Search and pages are included, as is an ask box. Choose colours for the background and text, then the accent and margin text. Switch photo captions below images and drop caps on or off. You can also add your own header note. Margin Notes is a custom HTML theme for Tumblr’s desktop web experience.
