@ Karen, I agree completely–I use Thesis as well and while I’ve been able to do a lot with the drop downs and non-coding, I’ve also had to learn a LOT of coding. Not to say that this hasn’t been beneficial, but I think users should really know what they want from a site before they buy Thesis thinking that it’s going to be easypeasy to customize.

While it’s great to see all of these laudatory comments about Thesis I would like to be the voice of decent: while I do not regret my purchase of Thesis (because it IS excellent SEO wise) IMO it is advertised as a LOT easier to customize than it actually is. If you’re like me and are essentially brand new to blogging and WordPress and don’t have much of a clue when it comes to CSS and PHP be prepared for countless sleepless nights or to shell out more than a few bucks for some help in customizing.

Thanks for letting us know about this. I guess I will wait for it to be released and will see how others are doing before upgrading.

Thesis is a great theme for wordpress if you don’t have the time/skills to edit and modify the template files yourself.
In fact the best part about thesis is the backend template modifications and options. There’s lots of customizability.

I have 56 wordpress blog but I have no shame to say that your one blog is worth of all my blogs. And this one is the best complement I had ever given anyone. It’s really helpful and informative share.

I’d have to agree with Peter, another Thesis 1.6 user here and I simply love it.

I did customize my design quite a bit, but it really was a breeze.

Hi Darren,

I’m enjoying reading your book and your problogger blog. I’m still not at the stage where I can set up my wordpress blog self-hosted, but I’ll definitely keep this them in mind for when I do. Thanks for another useful post.

There’s a small typo on the last sentence of this post:

…Chris Pearson plays around with changing the default layout in a number of ways to shot you how …

Best,
David K

Seems that the thesis theme si very popular this days, isn’t? I’ve been considering the change of themes, but the thesis isn’t one of my options.

I recently purchased the developers version to use it on all my sites, and it’s worth every penny. You can fine tun so many things just with the standard options. The problem with pratically any of the free themes is that you have to be a CSS or PHP wizard to customize them.

And if you have Theses, be sure to get the OpenHokk plugin to be even more flexible.

If you purchase these, do you have to post their ad on your site or be an affliate? All the sites I noticed were but I’d rather have the option not to. Thanks.

I have just upgraded to thesis 1.6. I like the theme for its clean lines. Highly recommended too!

Running thesis on most of my blogs, and I love it. makes upgrades easier, and very customizable – even more so now with 1.6

Thesis has been a godsend to me. I am anything but a techie but have managed to get my personal blog (www.inspiratus.org) into the top 3 on several Google searches and even built a nice looking site for a friend’s company (www.corehomeimprovement.com) and this from a guy who doesn’t know HTML, CSS, or anything else (except the power of good, compelling content). If you’re on the fence about Thesis, go for it. Lots of support out there.

Darren,
Just wanted to say good article. My wife and I use the thesis theme for our website http://www.inspirationtheride.com. We love the way you can totally customize it. Even if you don’t know a lot about coding, the forums provide a great resource to be able to find all the information.

Also, wanted to say that your book Problogger: Secrets for Blogging your way to a Six figure income was great. My wife and I used it as part of our initial research when beginning our blog (we actually just mentioned your book in our latest post) and we include it on our marketplace page under blog resources.

Lastly, thanks for continuing to provide all the great content through your website. I have a few emails in my inbox I am waiting to implement.

I wish you the best and much abundance for years to come.

Take care
