Microblogging platform Tumblr has updated its customization panel, making it easier for users to redesign or change the look of their blog.

The biggest change is a real-time theme preview, which allows you to see all the changes you make as you edit. You can add a new theme and see how it looks immediately, or edit the appearance of your current theme.

The color pickers have been updated, and are really easy to use. Being able to see changes to your Tumblr without refreshing the page makes editing a much quicker more comfortable experience. There’s also a fresh color coded source code editor, which is great for more advanced users.

Tumblr was bought by Yahoo! earlier this year for $1.1 billion, but so far has changed little of the service. Any change, such as the introduction of advertising or rearranging buttons can lead to a lot of complaints from Tumblr’s community, so we expect any more changes to be incremental.
