Hi, my username is eldormilon, I'm currently using a slightly modified version of profile-theme-for-main-blog https://pastebin.com/63Q0nghQ I was wondering whether somebody might help, I'm interested in just the Post Titles without the body from the post display on my "usarname.tumblr.com" (not on the post page), basically a list of post titles (for reference you can google: "that1archive", "Essays - Paul Graham", and "Learn to code like it’s the ’90s with Berkshire Hathaway’s normcore website").
I don't know how to code or anything about web design, so I can Imagine that you could misinterpret some of the information above, because i'm not using the correct terms because I don't realize if a specific term means something else.
Have mercy. Sorry to bother you.

Hello!

You were right about coming here to expose your issue. I do not have time to look at it this weekend but will definitely try to do it next week.

Thanks for your message, and have a good weekend.

Hi Gilberto.

I looked at what you asked for, and one of the issue is that not every type of post has a title.
For exemple Photo post do not have one.

You would want something like that, right? http://www.paulgraham.com/articles.html

We could achieve a result similar to it, but we would need to use the dates of the post instead of the titles, giving something like that:

Note that yyyy-mm-dd means year-month-day and would result in presenting a date in this format 2017-12-31 (2017 the 31 of december)

yyyy-mm-dd General and Surprising
yyyy
-mm-dd Charisma / Power
yyyy
-mm-dd The Risk of Discovery
yyyy
-mm-dd
yyyy
-mm-dd
yyyy
-mm-dd Life is Short
yyyy
-mm-dd Economic Inequality
yyyy
-mm-dd The Refragmentation
yyyy
-mm-dd Jessica Livingston
yyyy
-mm-dd
yyyy
-mm-dd Write Like You Talk
yyyy
-mm-dd Default Alive or Default Dead?

Therefore, when there are photo posts or other posts, like quote posts with no title, you would only have the date and a link to the post detail (like on Paul Graham website)
