Today’s articles are at both ends of the Thesis experience spectrum.
For people who are installing new Thesis domains or subdomains is an article entitled “Installing WordPress Using Fantastico.” Fantastico is a utility for installing software systems that is widely used by hosting companies. The article describes step-by-step with many illustrations how to use Fantastico to install the WordPress software. Even people whose hosts use different installation software can benefit from this tutorial, since the steps likely will be similar.
One of the first customization projects newbies want to undertake is to add images to the sidebar. The article “Adding a Sidebar Image” is a complete guide to setting up both non-clickable and clickable images in the sidebar. It is the first of a new series for newbies, “Simple Projects.” Other articles in the series will follow soon, including how to set up a header image, putting several images and text areas into one widget, and making colored boxes for use in posts and pages.
Articles on tap for the near future include controlling spam with the .htaccess file, moving search to your Thesis header or nav bar, and an overview of tools for developing your color scheme and using colors.
