magnolia: For an introduction to FTP clients, check out this introductory page on the WordPress Codex.

When you download custom.css — either via your host’s file manager or via FTP — you can open it up for editing in Notepad or Wordpad. If Notepad displays the file as a long string of text, use Wordpad to open it, immediately save the file, then re-open it in Notepad and it’ll appear correctly.

Then you can add your custom CSS information to that file, adding to whatever is already present. Only style information should be placed into the file.

Afterwards, save the file, re-upload it to thesis/custom/ via your host’s file manager or FTP client, and make sure that the box is checked in Thesis Options to make use of the custom.css file, and you should be all set. There is a page in the Thesis Manual which further explains how to customize Thesis with custom.css.

Chris,
I just put (maybe) Feedburner on my site. Feedburner indicates that it is compatible with WP 2.5 but does not mention the latest upgrade in WP. Do you suppose that means incompatibility?

Hi Chris:

Chris Brogan’s new page has me thinking seriously of switching Audiophilia to a Wordpress Thesis model.

I am technically very limited. My developer has done all but the creative content on my site. How easy would it be to switch for plonker like me? :) The thought of easy updates, daily content, RSS, comments, and the whole blog look has got me thinking.

Thanks for your time, Chris.

Cheers, Anthony

Anthony: Depending on the extent of the customizations you’ll be wanting to make, Thesis isn’t too bad even for newbies. Loads of help & free code snippets can be lifted from the support forums, and there are very likely plenty of people who would be willing to give you very specific code to do what you want — or who you could hire to get what you need done.

I do hope you’ll Get Thesis, though; a lot of people have found it to be the greatest thing for blogging since WordPress itself, and I’m sure it’ll help you take your site to the next level as well.

All the best,
Rick, Thesis Support

I am interested in your theme but I am wondering if it has the capability of adding video clips and advertisment banners. I have the latest update of wordpress and I am tired of changing themes and not getting the help to work with my theme. I have not worked on my blog because I have been running into various problems lately.

Please get back to me. It would be greatly appreciated.
