Our last theme, Rank & File, received a sunny reception among bloggers looking for a professional theme. Brands like Kate Spade and GQ have used it beautifully for their presence on Tumblr. It’s been about a year since its release, and in that time we’ve heard a barrel of requests for new features and changes, but it never felt right to alter R&F too much from the original vision.

And so: Anchor. Anchor is Rank & File’s cousin, a new option for those in need of a confident, smart, flexible theme.

As pictured above, Anchor has ample support for branding: every single color is an option — this includes the icons which are actually served as a font to allow for total customization. And by just picking a tag, you can populate the “feature bar” that (optionally) runs across the top of the site with your most important posts.

For live examples of the robust customization, check out our friends at Die, Workwear! or David’s personal blog.

Get it here in the theme garden for the price of $49. If you have any questions, feedback, bugs, suggestions, or anything else, just send David an email: david@sleepoversf.com

Rank & File 1.2

Lots of requests filled with version 1.2 which is out today:

  • Added support for adding Google Analytics to your blog
  • Added LinkedIn & Ning as network options.
  • Added styling for the <pre> tag
  • “Liked” header now links to /liked/by/username
  • Header now renders via Cufon for cross-browser compatibility. 
  • Fixed bug that caused tags to be hidden in certain cases.
  • Fixed bug that prevented the navigation bar text from resizing.

A frequent request was the ability to choose certain paragraphs to line break (as opposed to indent). This is now possible with a little trick. If you edit a post or page’s HTML source, you can insert an <hr> tag between two paragraphs to get a clean break: no indent on the second paragraph and a healthy amount of space in between (the <hr> itself will not be visible).

Do let us know if there any additions you’d like to see. Contact us by email at contact@sleepoversf.com or head on over to the theme page and leave a suggestion (or praise if you like the theme!).

Rank & File 1.1

Quick updates to our premium theme, Rank & File:

  • Images with align=“left” and align=“right” set now have appropriate margins.
  • The Ask link in the navigation now uses {AskLabel} so that you can customize the text.

If there’s anything you’d like to see in Rank & File, head on over to the theme page and leave some feedback!
