The new portfolio theme is awesome, but the theme has some kinks, like the slider bar for some reason shows some random symbols ) ''>. Could you please fix thanks!

This kink is the result of using HTML in captions that the theme uses for the tooltip function that shows a little bit of information about each project when you hover over the dot navigation at the bottom. Since this has come up a few times I’ve decided to the update the theme and break it into two options: one photo only theme that supports tooltip and one for videos, photos, and photosets with no tooltips.

Unfortunately tumblr doesn’t offer any HTML-safe tags for videos or photosets, so if you want to get tooltips working on the old theme you can still download it, but you’ll have to manually make sure that you remove any HTML tags from your captions.

For more information about the theme, check out hasaportfolio.com.

By the way, I’ve just opened up this blog to questions, so if you have any question you’d like answered publicly, feel free to ask at blog.matt.cc/ask.
