EDIT (01/11/07, 00:07 AM, Paris, France): Updated with Softs & Plugs ressources. Thank you all.

Hi all,
Based on the blog post by AngelaCW - respect to you -, I've decided to start this discussion - I think it deserves it in our recent born community. A little different from the discussion about tumblr hacks.
Let's make this forum a big ressource to learn as many things as we can about tumblr.
Denis R, if it seems useless to you or the community, feel free to delete it.

First Steps: The basics
Custom themes: Official page from Tumblr, giving basic elements to custom themes. To use these, be sure to go to your settings tab.

Show Off: CSS
http://webdesign.about.com/c/ec/30.htm: What it is, what it does.
CSS 2.1 Reference: Quick access to all 95 CSS 2.1 properties.

Going deeper: Customize
Tumblr Hacks: Tips, suggestions and hacks to master your tumblr space. By the great Denis R, creator of this community.
CustomizeTumblr : "making it better". Says it all.
Tumblepedia: Wiki, forums and themes. All around tumblelogs. Not only Tumblr. Built by Cameron.
Tumblr Themes: Theme ressources.

On the Desktop: Apps & plugs
WinTumblr: Tumblr Desktop Client (Windows Only)
Tumblr Post: Firefox Extension (submitted by David)


Expanding & networking: Groups
The Tumblers: Ours. Tumblr is beautiful.
Tumblepedia forum on Tumblr
Yahoo! Tumblr group
Facebook Tumblr Group

Chasing Tumblrs: Directories
Tumblr Radar: Visual timeline. Cool to see what's happening on Tumblr. Right now. Anywhere.
The Tumblelist: Tumblelog directory. Hasn't been updated since june 07.
Made in Italy: Italian tumblr directory.
Tumblr Universe: Custom search engine. Search all the Tumblr tumblelogs. Denis R at work. Again.
feel free to follow me: Japanese tumblr directory.

Feel free to add more and more and more...

Perhaps a basic tutorial on CSS would be nice. I didn't know any CSS (but some HTML) and I found this helpful:
http://webdesign.about.com/c/ec/30.htm

It may help people understand how to customize their templates a bit more.

Thanks to Angela and poirpom for organizing all the links in one place. This will make it easier for people to find these helpful Tumblr resources.

I am going to collect all the references people gave and edit my first forum post to show them all.

Come back in a few minutes....

[Angela]

Thanks Poirpom.... I looked all over the Ning menus and couldn't find a way of creating a 'resources' page other than using the Forum.

No problem, Angela. The First post has just been updated. I'll try to keep on doing this.

Keep on sharing.
