Introduce yourself and share your Thesis-themed URL

[georgedonnelly]

Hey there

I really appreciate all of Chris' work, his themes are a notch above. Frankly I will buy any theme he makes just to have it, because they're all excellent.

I like the default Thesis look so much that I have not customized mine much, except for the images. Here it is:

Here's how I did it. Note that I made changes at the top of the file and added an endif at the bottom:

PHP Code:

<?php if ( is_page('my-music') ) : ?>
    <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/headers/gretsch.jpg" alt="gretsch" />
<?php elseif ( is_page('free-ebook-download') ) : ?>
    <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/headers/book_page.png" class="three_by_two" alt="free ebook" />
<?php else : ?>
<?php

// INSTRUCTIONS:
// The images used in your image rotator are located in the /headers/ directory of your Thesis Theme.
// For best results, you should upload images that have common aspect ratios, such as:
// 4:3 — no additional class required (although you can use class="four_by_three" if you like)
// 3:2 — apply class="three_by_two" to the appropriate image declaration below
// 16:9 — apply class="sixteen_by_nine" to the appropriate image declarataion below

// Finally, be sure to add an alt tag to all of your images to ensure proper validation!

$random_image = rand(1,5); // the second number should equal the total number of images that you want to rotate

switch ($random_image) {
    case 1:
?>
                <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/headers/header-1.jpg" class="three_by_two" alt="seaside" />
<?php
    break;
    case 2: 
?>
                <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/headers/header-2.jpg" class="sixteen_by_nine" alt="ladies running on a picturesque beach" />
<?php
    break;
    case 3: 
?>
                <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/headers/header-3.jpg" class="three_by_two" alt="space station" />
<?php
    break;
    case 4: 
?>
                <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/headers/header-1.jpg" class="three_by_two" alt="seaside" />
<?php
    break;
    case 5: 
?>
                <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/headers/header-3.jpg" class="three_by_two" alt="space station" />
<?php
    break;
} 
?>
<?php endif ?>

Great, that gives me a couple of options. I appreciate all the help.

Sorry for the delayed response...

I put <?php suckerfish(); ?> in the "nav_menu_items.php" file. IMPORTANT: You have to "enable" that file in the Thesis config.php file by setting the "$thesis_use_paged_nav" variable to FALSE.

There are some great customizations here. I'm the behind the scenes guy for my wife's home business. I just overhauled her blog -- which focuses on topics of interest for families with young children -- from a free (and nothing special) theme on out-dated Wordpress 2.0.2 (thanks, Yahoo...) to WordPress 2.5.1 and the Thesis theme.

She normally steers clear of the tech side of things, but she immediately noticed the huge improvement in readability and just plain attractiveness of the new look. Well worth the price -- and I just snuck in at the end of the introductory period.

I'm looking forward to adding personalizations and transitioning the other half of our website into the Thesis framework.

Thanks,
Peter

I miss the pre-launched price of $67 but I have bought thesis theme at $87. I think it is ok because thesis looks simple and professional.

I have used thesis theme for my Blogging Secret Blog.

inhairstudio, you've done a great job of customization!

My name is Keishon and I love to read and my blog is about the books I read. I read all over the map from romance to mystery to graphic novels. I am hooked on manga and spend way too much money on those.
