Over the weekend I added a major update to Bare Tumblr, a simple, stripped down template for creating new Tumblr themes. It’s got the HTML 5 Boilerplate at its core, in addition to calls to Modernizr and built in sections for media queries.
This latest update bumps the HTML and CSS to version 3 of the HTML 5 Boilerplate, in addition to a bunch of small semantic fixes on the HTML side. If you dig building Tumblr sites or themes and want a solid vanilla place to start, check out the code on Github.
