Thesis’ features look amazing. However, I’m turned off by the price tag. If they can reduce it a bit, then I’ll consider paying for it.

The thesis site itself needs work. I have been looking for hours for a screenshot of the admin options page, and finally I find it here on problogger!

I had earlier heard of Thesis so much.. from so many people that it seemed like a damp marketing squib. But now I stand convinced that Thesis is the best thing to have happened to WP. It is indeed a great piece of code for churning out websites in no time.

My blog looks cleaner with Thesis. It is simply wonderful that a new-bee like me got started on it in no time. The extent of customisation one can do is great. Kudos to CP!

I bought Thesis and am running on my Load of BS blog. Not at all what I expected. I thought it was supposed to be easy to configure but unless you are good with CSS and Hooks it isn’t.

Hi Darren,

Love you blog by the way!!

I recently have been working as a consultant to hep expand a clients business. I decided a blog was absolutely the way to go in her case in particular. I researched various blogs, and decided that i liked Wordpress features the best, but eventually went with Blogger because Wordpress wouldn’t allow forms, and i really wanted to include the Feedburner email sign up form, and have the option of perhaps others in the future.

Now i’m confused… i take it this ‘Thesis’ template is in Wordpress, and i see you have forms on your page here. Grrrr… was i mistaken/mislead? My client has already posted several successful post on her Blogger blog….

I find the Blogger tempaltes very limited, and the features also…

Any thoughts/advice?

Rich options, but too expansive for me.

thanks for suggesting thesis. It doesn’t do everything but it is very helpful. Building a website requires A LOT of effort, learning and time. Thesis reduces a lot of that.

Yep, this is the one. I love the fact that you can purchase a personal license then upgrade by throwing another $87 to clench the dream deal on this theme steal. Love it… Just Love it!

@Ganesh - Be sure to check out the new features in the 1.2 release. I posted about it on my Thesis Theme blog here: Thesis Theme 1.2 Revealed There are so many new options that I'm having to do a series of blog posts to cover them all. :-)

I’d like to say that the Thesis theme is damn amazing. Its typography and SEO is mouth watering. I’m going to use it for my next blog.

Just a short note to thank you for your recommendation. I ended up buying the developer version, based largely on your review, and I’ve been very happy with it. Not only does the Thesis Theme look good out-of-the-box, but it takes care of all the SEO requirements with no effort on my part at all. Gotta love that.

They should allow me to use the Theme on at least 3 of my blogs after buying a personal license. Hopefully, they shall make the Theme XHTML compatible soon.

Hi! :-)
I joined the Thesis Theme affiliation program few days ago and I just wrote a little review, using this article as the main origin of my content. Sure, I also wrote my personal thoughts about this product, but Darren’s articles give always a good inspiration to me!

Keep writing in this way Darren! ;-)

Hi Darren: This is a GREAT theme! I just moved my blog from Blogger to this theme on WP and I love it. My tech guy, Joel (www.blogtechguy.com) says it is a bit tricky to learn at first but that, ultimately it’s a very, very good theme with great features. Even tho’ I chose this theme before you reviewed it I feel even better about my choice now that you’ve given it a positive review!

A very interesting theme and I don’t mind paying for the effort they have put in the development, but right now I’m trying to focus on photography and not on restyling my blog over and over again. I saved this link in my bookmarks though.

A couple of weeks ago I was looking for a theme for my first WordPress blog. I took my time reading through Thesis’s site.
First time I hear of Chris Pearson. I was so impressed that I was confident I was making the right decision with Thesis. Not only is it gorgeous but Chris’s support is one of a kind. He is so on the ball. When does this guy sleep?!

About Darren Rowse giving a sales pitch:
Darren is successful and does great work, which makes it very likely he’ll have friends that are the same way… so If Darren has more friends like Chris P, I want to hear a “sales pitch” for each one of them!

I've been using Thesis for a while, and I love it! It took me a while to customize it and make it look exactly the way I want it to, but from all the compliments I've been getting on it, I made the right decision. Of course it helps that I'm a graphic designer, but in truth, I knew a whole lot more about print design than I did CSS when I started my blog. With a little doing, you can literally make Thesis all your own, and I've gotten a lot more hits due to the built-in SEO. My blog is featured in the Thesis showcase, Green Your Decor.

Ok, I caved in last night and bought it. Someone out there’s making a lot of money this week. I’m still in default mode but will be experimenting around. Here’s mine to add to the showcase… :)

I LOVE the look of thesis, but I do have to agree with Duhh, that this article does sound a bit like a sales pitch…. but, you are a man of high integrity, so I’ll probably buy it anyway. :)
