Dear Diary is a two-column Tumblr journal theme that gives text posts and everyday observations a notebook setting. It suits diarists, travellers, students, artists and writers keeping a record of their lives or work. Lined pages and handwritten dates sit alongside doodled margins and a secret-diary lock detail. Caveat adds handwritten warmth, while Figtree and Instrument Serif provide clear, readable type. You can adjust the rule-line colours, hide the lines and add a personal message through Note to Self.

It supports all Tumblr post types, along with reblog trails and tags. Search and pages are included, plus an ask box. Choose background and text colours, with accent and rule-line colours also adjustable. Toggle Original Photos or Hide Ruled Lines, and add your own Note to Self.
