Hi Bill
Thanks for this. It’s given me more of an idea what to expect with Thesis. I bought it yesterday and have just stared playing around with it. I was hoping to avoid much coding as I don’t know PHP and my CSS is a bit rusty. The info I have found so far seems a bit disjointed but maybe thats because I don’t know where to look. I normally just get a book but haven’t seen one available yet.

Thanks for this detailed post. I think I’ll probably leave the Thesis theme for now. It seems you’re really tied to it after you install it and any changes you might want to make don’t sound that simple. I’ll stick with the free wordpress themes for now and write some simple code if I need to change anything.

Two things needs to be said about Thesis:

1. While it’s a *good* WordPress theme framework Its popularity is mainly due to its successful affiliate program that makes a lot of people blog about it, praising it like the best thing ever invented.

2. Thesis is intended to be “an HTML framework frontend for WordPress” which is really quite a neat idea. Thesis is extremely light on the MySQL database, totally bypassing a lot of the stuff WordPress othwerwise does by default.

I agree with Tony. Simply choose “Thesis Nav Menu” under “Select Menu Type”, and you can easily drag and drop the order of your menu, including which links to include in the menu.

And, as Tony mentioned, the openhook plugin is a nifty customization tool for the Thesis theme.
