 * Can someone please help me turn this input into a check box?
 *     ```
       <tr valign="top">
       	<th scope="row">
       		<label for="blogname">Option Label</label>
       	</th>
       	<td>
       		<input name="theme_option" type="text" id="theme_option" value="<?php echo get_option('theme_option'); ?>" class="regular-text" />
       	</td>
       	</tr>
       ```
   
 * It’s for a basic theme option. I tried “checkbox name” but nothing appears.

 * Thanks! that was so amateur of me..lol
 * Would you happen to know why an option won’t register? The checkbox appears in
   my theme’s option but when I check it and save, it remains blank.
 * I proof read the coding several times.. all other options work but the checkbox.
   Not sure what can be causing this.

 * Ok I figured it out. Under register_my_settings I didn’t have the new option 
   listed on the same row as the functions HTML
