I have one question though - My clients would like to edit their home page content inside the Wordpress admin and NOT by having to edit home.php. Is there anyway to apply this same technique but make the home page content editable from the WP administration panel (e.g. edit the "home" page)?

This will put a .css file in the WP_HEAD hook. <pre><code> // Header Scripts function header_scripts_html() { if ( is_page('2') ) { ?> <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/custom/home.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" /> <?php } elseif ( is_page('3') ) { ?> <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/custom/about.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" /> <?php } add_action('wp_head','header_scripts_html'); </code></pre> Use conditional tags! :) Copy & paste the code below into custom_functions.php

// Header Scripts
function header_scripts_html() {
if ( is_page('2') ) { ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/custom/home.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" />
<?php }	elseif ( is_page('3') ) { ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/custom/about.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" />
<?php }
add_action('wp_head','header_scripts_html');

The custom_template will always override and fill the entire width of the Content Box. Hey Justin – It won’t matter how many columns you make Thesis.

I want to have two different formats: the home page is my custom design (a specialized 3 column format) and then the post pages are a 2-column format. What do I need to change? My home page (http://www.justinlong.org) is shoving the third column on the bottom of the 2nd, trying to put the sidebar in.

I'm running 2.92 and it seems to be running fine. I might give your tutorial a try though if I run into problems with it. Since it's working OK now I have so many other things I need to dedicate time to. By the way, I got the template working! I changed the function in custom_functions.php a little...replaced "else" with an "else if" statement and just specified each page. Also changed the !is_page and went with is_page() || is_front_page(). Seems to like this now. Thanks for your replies! Great site. Really? I’m running 2.92 and it seems to be running fine.

It's still only Wordpress 2.7 compatible.

I have a question though. I want to use a background image that is 10px x 500px called bghome.png for the home page, and a different 10 x 500 images for the internal pages, called bgother.png. How do I put it into the CSS that the home page should used use bghome.png, and the internal pages use bgother.png as the background? Could I used an if then statement? This is a bit past my level of expertise. I don't know how to code it. If you could help me out I would be forever appreciative! Thanks, Nadav I love the tutorial. I have a question though.
