Really useful tutorials, thanks!!!

I am new to Thesis and working on my 1st blog. What I'd like to do is use a background gradient image(sidebargradient.jpg) for the sidebar. Not sure what code I need to do this and there will need to be something to tell it to stretch the image, obviously, with sidebars being dynamic.

I'm guessing I have to input code in both the custom.css and custom.functions.php files. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm working on a standard 2 column theme(right sidebar).

Thanks

Hi,

I am trying to widgetized the home page's middle content area. I have tried to replace the footer hook to a "before content hook" and screwed up my custom_functions.php file. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,

Thank you for such a amazing piece of information. I am new to wordpress and thesis. I had gone through so many websites to customize my sidebars but I'm telling you non of those articles are not even close to you. Kudos my friend. Regards, VJ.

You could put all your 'widgets' into one sidebar, then make the change in Thesis design options to have a 2 column layout with one sidebar.

Sure you could create a conditional that tests for “any page that is NOT the home page” then supply the needed custom template.

You should be able to create a conditional that tests for a specific category then deliver the custom template you want. You may need to do this with the category ID.
