> Tumblr Theme Randomly Changes Appearance After Customizing

My blog is located at http://whatblag.com

I use Tumblr. Sometimes, this happens to me:

1. I click "Customize"
2. I change something very minor, for example, altering a few words on my "About" page
3. I click "Save and Close"
4. When I refresh my blog, to my surprise, the entire appearance of the blog has changed! The background color will be grey instead of white. The font size will have changed to something ridiculous like 50px. It's terrible.
5. Quickly, I click "Customize" again. Somehow, the options in the "Appearance" tab are out of order! "Accent color" is usually listed first, but now "Background color" is at the top of the list. Well, that explains why my background color changed from white to grey (my accent color is usually grey).
6. So, I change all of the Appearance settings back to the way I want them. I click "Save and Close"
7. See #4

After repeating steps 5-7 like a hundred times and killing a few small animals (just kidding...it's only like three or four times), eventually my blog returns to normal. The problem seems to be that the options in the Appearance tab randomly change order. Anyway, I have absolutely no idea what to do--that's why I'm here.

I'm not sure if this code will help, but here it is:

Oh nice, I had no idea they had backups of my revisions. Thanks for that link!

I'm actually curious if you're still having the same issues. As you may know, the Appearance settings are extraneous options in some themes which give users more custom choices without
having to change the HTML manually. Whatever is/was happening, it has/had something to do with those <meta name="color:Background" content="#eee"/>
 bits. Maybe something is resetting them back to their default values, or maybe it was just something with the server.
Perhaps you could try removing everything dealing with the custom appearance settings (essentially removing the function
of the Appearance tab) and manually changing the CSS code in the HTML to the colors, etc that you want.

If you are just trying to change WORDS on your 'About' page..then you should be able to go to
Customize
Scroll down to Pages
Click 'Pages'
Open 'About'
and edit the text from there.. if editing that specific text changes the theme then you may have a broken link inside your HTML. dry.gif annoying i know.
