Steps
- Go to Tumblr's website. It's located at https://www.tumblr.com/. If you're signed in on your browser, this will take you to your Tumblr home page.
- If you aren't signed into Tumblr, enter your email address and password, then click Sign in.
- Click your profile icon. This person-shaped button is in the top-right corner of the page.
- Click the name of the blog you wish to edit. It will be beneath the "TUMBLRS" heading about halfway down the profile drop-down menu.
- Click Edit appearance. This option is in the upper-right side of the page, just below the Drafts and Posts sections.
- Click Edit theme. It's to the right of the "Website Theme" heading that's below your profile picture.
- Click Browse themes. You'll see this option near the top-left side of the page.
- Search for a theme. To do so, simply scroll up or down on the column of themes that's on the left side of the page, then click a theme you like to preview it in the context of your Tumblr's content.
- You can sort themes by clicking ALL THEMES at the top of this section and then clicking a sorting option (e.g., Premium, Free, Two column, etc.).
- Click Use. It's in the top-right corner of the Themes bar.
- Click Save. This option is in the same place as was Use. Doing so will apply it to your Tumblr; your blog will change to reflect your selected theme on all platforms.
- You may also customize your theme's settings, such as the default colors and text size, here.
- If you're purchasing a theme, you'll instead click Purchase and then enter your card details in the ensuing pop-out menu. You can also click Use PayPal at the bottom of the window to pay through PayPal.
