ChrisBrogan.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress

Thesis WordPress theme

Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.

With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like ChrisBrogan.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.

    Brilliant - totally F$%*in brilliant.
  • I love his little look around at the end. "What?!? What did you expect me to say?"
  • IMHO: So long as it does not compromise the message and spirit of the work, what's the difference...really? Product placement in media is nothing new. The difference is that the once subtle use of product placement has become more noticeable by more "media literate" audiences.

    Observing obvious product placement in any media can spoil the viewing pleasure and credibility of certain works by snapping the attention away from the message. The ideal balance lies in using product placement credibly while leveraging that revenue stream to improve the overall media product and/or its distribution. Not easy...but quite possible in most cases.

    Unless of course it is an arrangement where there is a stated requirement for aggressively giving exposure to a product or service within a work as a condition of recieving financial support. In that case, agreeing to such an arrangement will undoubtedly compromise the integrity of the work. That's just a bad deal to agree to and is best avoided if at all possible.

    YMMV
  • Ah, brevity is a breath of fresh air, especially on the internet. Don't you think, Chris?
