Blatant plug; wasn’t sure whether to accept your comment or not – this tutorial is also built on Thematic, but interesting to see what you’ve done.

Nice tutorial here. I noticed in another post that you recommended using Thematic as a framework. If anyone is doing that and wants to save some development time, try checking out the tutorial and source files for creating a theme options panel with Thematic.. You could also look at how to code a logo upload box. .-= Devin´s last blog ..Using TimThumb with WordPress MU =-.

Yeah. Definitely a better option to do that or even have a dropdown. If I ever update this tutorial that’s one to include.

Alex, I haven’t noticed when I first commented, and I really feel the need to ask this.

Regarding the “choose a layout for your blog” option.

In the screenshot, I see you’re using checkboxes and you’re telling the user to only check one – which for us developers totally makes sense and we would never tick two of them.

But for people with no tech skills, wouldn’t it be much accessible to turn those checkboxes into radio buttons (so they really can’t choose 2 options).

What do you say?

Thanks,
Cosmin.
