Guestbook is a single-column Tumblr theme for mixed posts and updates, with bevelled tables and editable ticker text. It suits personal bloggers, hobbyists, artists, fan communities and clubs. The design takes its cues from a 1997 personal homepage, pairing visited-purple links with under-construction details for a nostalgic, gently ironic feel. Tinos and Comic Neue provide the typography. Colour controls let you adjust the panels and links, while switches let you use a plain background, stop animations and display original photos.

Built for Tumblr’s desktop web custom HTML themes, Guestbook supports all Tumblr post types, with reblog trails and tags. Search and pages are included, along with an ask box. Choose colours for the background and panels, then the text and title. Links and visited links have their own colours. Toggle Plain Background and Stop Animations, or switch Original Photos on or off. Edit the Ticker Text and Hit Counter, plus the Guestbook Button text.
