Previously, I vented some frustration with the Theme Garden. Today, Tumblr took some serious strides that address much of my criticism. I applaud that. But now, I’ve got an unexpected problem. My latest theme, Undercover Operative, was rejected with the feedback, “Does not fit accepted Tumblr blog aethetics.” At least I know the ball’s back in my court. Unfortunately, the feedback offers me little direction on how to proceed. Accepted aethetics? Does that mean the theme’s concept is flawed or the moderator just flat out didn’t like it? If either’s the case, I probably can’t fix it and should just move on to something else. On the other hand, if it means the color palette was displeasing or one of the theme’s graphics was tweeked or it rendered as garbage in some popular browser, then I could possibly rectify the deficiency and resubmit. I need some specifics. Before I dash off an email to Tumblr support asking for clarification, does anyone out there have an opinion on what’s wrong with my theme (clicking on the image will take you to it)?

Operative Review
  1. notjpteti answered: All though I have no idea, it could be the sidebar being so long or the circles around who you’re following.
  2. sorichsopretty answered: Hey, I love your theme but it doesnt allow for comments or tags! Help!!!
  3. redcloud answered: Looks awesome. Can’t imagine what their problem with it is.
  4. exalen answered: I don’t know what that reason is supposed to mean. Theme looks sweet, tho I would change uo-step.gif from the side and use grey for Step 8.
