I just wrote a guest post for the guys at ThesisThemes.com where I talk about how a relative newcomer to Thesis can learn to troubleshoot their code when things go wrong. Go check it out and make sure to try out some of their skins (most are free) while you’re at it.
In other news, I must admit that I haven’t written a tutorial in a while. This is partly because I don’t know what people really want to learn and partly because I sometime think that tutorials should be more proof-of-concept than copy and paste, which has been prevalent here for some time, so I guess I’m internally resolving that mix of ideas as well. If you want to hear about a topic and see it covered in a tutorial, please leave me a comment and let me hear about it.

EEEEEK! I AM SUPER NOOOOOOOOBIE! I just got thesis 10 minutes ago and I am already stuck. Oh boy I am scared. What have I done? I don’t know where the files are that I have uploaded. Found them.
1. Upload the new Thesis 1.5.1 folder to your /wp-content/themes folder. (done)
2. Locate the /custom-sample folder and change its name to /custom.
not called this: (I can only find Custom Template page Template- but it says in the text do not edit!!) – now what should I do?
3. Locate the layout.css file, and change its permissions to 666. (I don’t know where to find the permission) I’d ask my mom for permission but I don’t think this will help me here:)
4. [optional] If you’d like to give Thesis the ability to auto-crop thumbnail images for you, then you’ll want to change the permissions of your /custom/cache folder to 775. (dont’ know where to find this either) OMG…
should I quit and ask for a refund?
Ok Rebecca, calm down. There’s definitely a learning curve to all of this but don’t freak out yet. As for #2 it will be located at wp-content/themes/thesis/custom. For #3, find the layout.css file and right click on it. Click its properties and change the permissions to 666. Do the same for #4 of the custom/cache folder.
