Creating an options panel - day 3

Still no responses on the other thread so I'm creating a new one: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/104632/options-php-loop-wont-show

Already got some help and are narrowing everything down.  Well I feel very stupid.  I forgot to actually  call the them_options function forth.  To do so, all I had to do was add_action('init', 'theme_options'); which I knew already, I just kept missing it.

Another problem occurred with the save button not working so I've posted a new question on it here: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/104734/theme-options-save-button-is-not-working

I don't mean to rely on them for help but I've been struggling with it for a few hours now and are stuck.

In the meantime, I'm taking written notes on the source code from this tutorial: http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/creative-coding/how-to-integrate-the-wordpress-media-uploader-in-theme-and-plugin-options/

These are some of the functions I've learned about:

• http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_option
• http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/after_setup_theme
• http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_theme_page
• http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/admin_menu
• http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/_e
• http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/settings_errors
• http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/settings_fields
• http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_settings_sections
• http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_setting
• http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_settings_section
• http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_settings_field

That's it for today.
