Tumblr Search #Losing
During the last 12 months, we’ve received a number of emails regarding Headline’s search box. Many users are experiencing an issue where searching for a known keyword, one that obviously exists on the Tumblr blog, returns 0 results. As far as we know, this is a known issue at Tumblr, and not directly related to any theme code, but rather a result of Tumblr search indexing lag.
As Tumblr continues to grow (explosively), the search indexing issue seems to be growing with it. Search also seems to be relatively low on the priority list (it’s been a known issue for quite some time), as Tumblr focuses its efforts on maintaining system uptime, rather than improving indexing. After all, at least the system is telling you there are 0 results, instead of showing you this all day long.
If you’ve got the zero result blues, we recommend voicing your concerns on Tumblr’s Get Satisfaction page to let them know search is important to you. If enough people speak up, maybe they’ll start to listen.

Q: Is there a way to add a picture on the right panel?
theangeladee
If you share your “Likes,” those will appear in the right column, and may contain photos. However, if you’re looking to insert a static image, Custom HTML is the way to go.
Q: What font are you using for the heading on this site? How can I use it for mine?

Q: On the MashableHQ site, they have the Follow Us on the right hand side of the page. How is that done? Thank you.
fredperrytoronto
The Follow Us section on the MashableHQ site is accomplished using custom HTML and an AddThis widget. The functionality is not included in the Headline theme, and we are unable to provide custom HTML support.
Q: how do I add the archive link like you have in your left sidebar?
thought-hoarder
We use a little Page trickery to implement the archive link. The link is actually a custom page, that is set to URL redirect to “/archive”. You cannot use the actual word “Archive” because it’s reserved by Tumblr. You can use “Archives” however, which is what we’ve done.
Q: Hi,
Love the theme. Here's my site.

I'm a total newbie on all things blog related. But I noticed here on your site the 3rd column on the right has a "Share" heading and then the Twitter, Facebook, Digg icons and links. I really want that to be on my site as well. How do I go about doing that? Sorry if this is a basic question. Thanks again for the theme.

The Share sidebar is included automatically, but only on permalink pages.
Q: Hi! I love the theme. I looked through the .css file and couldn't figure out where the spacing between the posts is governed - I would like to add css to make this a tad smaller. Thanks!
sheepboutique
Post spacing is controlled by the following CSS code:
#index .post, #permalink .post {padding-bottom: 3em; border-bottom:1px solid;}
.post dl {margin: 1.5em 0 2em 0; overflow: hidden; padding: 1px;}
Adjust the padding and margin as you see fit by overriding the selectors via custom CSS
Q: Is there a way to customize the number of "likes" that are displayed in the righthand column? The default is 3 and I would like to increase it.
lookingforwisdom
No, not without customizing the HTML. If you choose to do so, look for the following code:
{Likes limit=”3” summarize=”100” width=”210”}
You may adjust the number of likes displayed via the “limit” variable.
