Description

James arranges your Tumblr posts in a modern grid of square blocks, with smooth transitions between thumbnails as you scroll, keeping equal spacing between every block in the grid. It’s for anyone publishing photography, digital art, or graphic design who wants a clean visual showcase, without long blocks of text competing with the images on the blog’s home screen, on desktop and mobile alike, from the very first visit on.

How to Download James

James is available for download here at Ultrapack. Once you’ve extracted the file, go to Blog Settings > Edit Theme > Edit HTML in Tumblr, paste the code, and save to apply the modern grid to your blog.

The square block grid works just as well for someone starting a visual blog as it does for someone with a large archive of published photos. It’s worth reviewing the first images on your blog after the switch, since the square thumbnail crop may frame a photo differently than the original.
