I made a quick screencast to show how easy it is to activate the social media icons on the new version of the theme. No more messing about in the HTML!

I’ve submitted version 1.4 to the Theme Garden, with support for Tumblr’s new boolean and text tags, which means much easier control over output of social media links, etc. If you can’t wait for it there, grab it here.

Esquire is a free Tumblr theme by Matthew Buchanan, inspired by the art direction of Esquire magazine and released 18 March 2009 under Creative Commons. It features support for custom theme colours, followers list, post notes, and social network affiliations.
To install the theme on your Tumblr site, copy the contents of esquire-theme-1-4.txt into the Custom HTML field of the Customize area on your Tumblr Dashboard.
My sincere thanks to Peter Asquith for building the zig-zag quote script after I mentioned it on Twitter , and to Tim van Damme for allowing me to use and slightly modify his gorgeous social networking icons (there’s 10 available in the theme file).
Email feedback to hello at my domain name, and drop a tip in the jar if you like it.
Update: Version 1.4 of the theme file supports Tumblr’s new boolean and text tags for easy control of social media links, etc.
A finalist in the Magazine Publishers of America 2007 Cover of the Year:
For its Best & Brightest issue, Esquire asked illustrator Marion Deuchars to draw the coverline, which is one complete sentence. With George Clooney holding a pencil, the implication is that Clooney hand wrote those coverlines. The cover garnered attention not only on the newsstand but from designers and artists everywhere. It also is a twist on what has become known as the signature Esquire cover of crowding the cover with lines while keeping the message clear.

The Gaslight Anthem’s “The ’59 Sound”, one of Esquire’s 50 Songs Every Man Should Be Listening To. Their album of the same name was picked as the best of 2008 by Emusic’s editors.
It’s all here: Cover Gallery, Best Bars in America, Women We Love, and — um — how Ben Affleck is trapped in Lindsay Lohan’s life.

For me, the religion was in the chase, the pursuit of accumulated fact and quote, the rush to deadline, and the arrogance of standing up like the village griot at the campfire and running down a story that hadn’t yet been heard. And then the next day, maybe, doing it again.
