 * Can someone point me to the correct pages in the codex for how I add to the admin
   of my theme. For instance, the thesis and titan themes both have options in the
   Admin sections, which I presume is done using hooks (that could be completely
   wrong), can someone point me in the right direction.
 * Cheers

 * [@opw679](https://wordpress.org/support/users/opw679/): The short answer: functions.
   php. It works something like a plugin.
 * Read the Codex article here: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Theme_Functions_File](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Theme_Functions_File)
   
   I know that there isn’t very much information there…
 * The Codex article does mention that the default theme contains Admin options,
   and there are many other themes which have them also. Some themes get really 
   fancy with the options they offer! For me, when I can’t find detailed tutorials
   quickly, sometimes it’s best to sit around with an example and reverse-engineer
   it. Change the output, make it do something new, make it do what you want. By
   doing this, you will learn and gain practical experience.
 * Then again, not everyone can learn that way. I’m sure you could try a Google 
   query and see what you come up with.
 * Either way, you are sure to find your answer eventually!
