Guestbook takes its cues from a 1997 personal homepage, with bevelled tables and visited-purple links. Under-construction charm adds to the nostalgic, gently ironic feel of its single-column layout, set in Tinos and Comic Neue.

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.
