# Add custom template fields?

 * I’m making a blog site for a client and I want her to be able to change text 
   in the template easily (like menu text, footer text, etc). Right now, the only
   thing that works for this is the “tagline” which is called with the get_bloginfo()
   function. I’d like more fields like that which can be changed in the admin screen.
 * Any ideas? Thanks!

 * That typically means coding a theme so that the user can configure via the admin
   panel.
 * Take a look at how the Atahualpa does that…

 * That theme is about the most complex one I’ve ever seen… a lot of work went into
   that. I’m not sure that a) I would want to work with such a robust framework 
   for such a small piece of what it adds or b) would want to reverse engineer that
   theme.
 * What I want is basically a set of fields in wp-admin (maybe another options screen)
   that can be called in the theme. If I could add extra information to the bloginfo()
   function, editable in the admin screen (like the tagline).
 * Any other ideas? I’ve combed through the plugins looking for something but have
   not had much luck. Thanks!

 * Don’t make me learn how to write a plugin and do this myself… 🙂
