Step1:

Go to your admin page and Select Custom file Editors. Choose Custom_function.php and Copy following code in it.

function twitter_offical_tweet_btn() {
if (is_single()){ ?>
<a href="http://twitter.com/share" data-count="vertical" data-via="thetricks">Tweet</a>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
<?php }
}
add_action('thesis_hook_before_post', 'twitter_offical_tweet_btn');

Open Twitter’s Official Tweet button and Copy code at the end of page. Change red code here with your code. Click Save and you are done!

Above code will show twitter button only on single page. If you want to show it on main page too, just use below code.

As, you have seen i have just made lot of change in my thesis theme to make it more attractive than before. I think that you also want to do it and need some tutorial. For those, who are not using thesis theme, should start to use. It is more way better than regular wordpress theme. If, you are planning to move to wordpress, please refer to my post Step by Step Guild to Install Self Hosted WordPress.

In this tutorial, I will explain you customize for thesis theme which are highly request up to now. If don’t own thesis theme, then, I will recommend you to buy one. You can buy one by clicking on thesis banner on sidebar.

You can either add color to background or image. I have added image. Here I will explain you both.
First if you want to add color, go to custom.css file using ftp. Add below line in it. This is only for thesis version older than 1.6

body.custom { background: #44443f; }

If you are using latest version of thesis theme, then you will find this option in your option page of thesis theme. You can refer to image.

If, you want to add image as background, then you can add below code in your custom.css file.

body.custom { background: url('/images/background.jpg') 50% 0  repeat-x; background-attachment:fixed}

You see fixed in above line. It won’t allow background to move.

I hope that you enjoyed this tutorial.
