Comments on: Part 11: Changing the Look of Your Site http://www.wp101.com/wp101-11.php Learn how to use WordPress 3.0 with our WordPress tutorial videos and screencasts. Tue, 13 Jul 2010 00:23:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Shawn http://www.wp101.com/wp101-11.php/comment-page-1#comment-85 Shawn Mon, 24 May 2010 15:40:52 +0000 http://www.wp101.com/?p=61#comment-85 Hi Monica, The background and header subPanels are a function of the theme that is installed on our demo site, called TwentyTen. This theme will be installed by default with the new version of WordPress (v3.0) comes out in another week or two. But even after you upgrade to WordPress 3.0, you still will not see those subPanels if you are using a different theme than we're using in the demo. Most "premium" (paid-for) themes include these kinds of custom subPanels. They're not part of WordPress, per se, but they provide a way to customize your theme's options. If you would like to get a jump on this, you can download the WP 3.0 Beta 2, which includes ALL the functions and features you see in my new videos, in addition to the Twenty Ten theme. Download Link: http://bit.ly/ahJeCO If you don't care to be on the bleeding edge, then consider the Canvas theme by WooThemes. It's an equally flexible theme, similar to Twenty Ten in its look and functionality, with TONS of customizable options, directly within the WP Dashboard. Check out Canvas here: http://bit.ly/d9OpG0 Either way, in about two weeks (or less), these functions will all be available with the WordPress 3.0 upgrade. We're just trying to ensure that our viewers are prepared. Hope this helps, Shawn Hi Monica,
