Diavlo is our new tumblog theme in the fabseries. This is a monochromatic, lightweight and minimalistic theme. It is also seasoned with a dash of CSS3 magic. You will see that when you hover over the post type icons. Tumblog themes are wordpress themes with features similar to Tumblr sites. You can post different contents like, asides, link, video, audio, images, chats, quotes etc and each of these contents types are presented differently.

Normally on a blog every post is styled uniform. But wont you think it would be nice if you could style these posts differently. One way to do it is to retrieve the post-ID and then apply style to it. But it is a painstaking process and you would have to repeat the css edit every time a new post is made.
