I hope you are still around. Can you tell me how I can have a 3 column setup in homepage and have teasers in all 3 columns? No sidebar. Only for homepage.

I really hope you can help.

I'm seeing that there are always TWO teasers in teaser_box, so when I set the width to 30%, I get two teasers with lots of space in between. Any way to have 3 or 4 teasers side by side?

But no, I didn't use a widget. I hardly ever use widgets these days - I prefer to just insert functions with thesis hooks, allowing me to add any HTML I want, spiced up with PHP functions and variables, without worrying about the widget executing things properly.

Then you could format the teasers to look more like a typical archive page by showing them one across instead of two-column (see the last tip in the article above). You could even set the excerpt text to "display: none" so you have only titles and thumbs.

The standard thesis nav is at the top, and there's a secondary nav in the sidebar (hand-built). At the very least, you could have a widget placed anywhere with a list of pages or popular posts.

I just introduced a friend to Wordpress (without Thesis) and I was surprised just how much harder it is to customize Wordpress without Thesis' extensive hook system. Thesis provides an abstraction layer on top of Wordpress (what we usually call "frameworks") so you don't have to hack the core wordpress files. Basically with one extra .css file and a custom_functions.php file, I can modify and extend almost anything in Wordpress - I don't have to worry about upgrading my core files (or even Thesis), and transferring those customizations to another site is dead simple...
