Tumblr is here to stay making it easy to share text, photos, URLs, music, and video clips. And with Tumblr you can post from your browser, phone, desktop or via email – just like Twitter. The good thing about Tumblr is that customization is easy and with a lot of possibilities. You can create a sophisticated and unique theme yourself, but you will need basic knowledge of CSS or you can download one of the beautiful Tumblr Skins available. Customization of your Twitter homepage is more limited, changing the background and styling the links is about all you will get.
In this article you will get a collection of useful Tumblr Skins that hopefully will give you good inspiration and help you decide on how to customize your Tumblr space. Enjoy this showcase!
