Quick question - how do all of the news websites get fancy themes for their tumblrs? Do we have to purchase/design our own? (I was trying to make one for http://dailyprincetonian.tumblr.com/) Thanks!

Hey! There are a few paths to fancy themedom. You can write one of your own, obviously; several big media places have things like that—Conan O’Brien’s show has a nice-looking one. You can adapt an existing theme with your own logo, etc.—see, for instance, The Economist’s Tumblr. 

Finally, the Daily Tumble is an interesting newspaper-based theme that could be really cool for you guys (but hurry and fund it—it only has another day and a half on Kickstarter). 

We also work with a lot of good freelance designers who can help with this; hit me up if you’d like an intro. Thanks!
