The first, How to Build Small Business Websites Using the Thesis WordPress Theme [pdf file], comes from Expand2Web.com, by Don Campbell. His site was packed with similar information, so if you like this doc, swing by and check out his other information.

The other document was called Thesis Tutorial – SEO for Everyone [pdf file] , and I found that at DoubleMule, which had lots of posts about Thesis themes and designs.

Most folks appreciate the theme and get it installed just fine, but I do get the occasional email from someone who isn’t as comfortable with the installation process, or they might have it configured in bare bones mode, but want to do more. I think having an affordable premium WordPress theme is a great way to make your blog look even more attractive and professional, but you have to remember that I’m biased.

Need suggestions for good designers? I recommend both Nico Pin and WeFixWP.com. If you want to go a bit more premium than even that, my friends Justin and Eric at Coffee House Ideas kick serious butt, too.

Good luck with tuning up your blog with Thesis. I think it’s a really useful theme and I love promoting it.

If you’re more of a visual thinker, you might try checking out Great Thesis Resources, where I found you some videos to browse.

Let me know how the docs work out for you, okay?

I got curious as to what resources were out there for people who agreed with me that they should buy Thesis, but who might be wondering what to do next. I found some great videos and tutorials. These are just a few:

This came from Chris Pearson himself. I liked his work, and found another video of his that explained design elements:

I also found a nice little general review here:

Lisa has a longer review, and it’s very conversational, but it definitely gave me some information I didn’t have before.

My personal favorite Thesis tutorial person is Sugar Rae. She has lots and lots and lots of tutorials. If you read nothing more, swing by her site and check it out.

I’m really thrilled that I have Thesis as the theme for this blog. It’s so flexible and powerful. If you’re interested in learning more, check it out. If you decide to buy it (It’s cheap – $87 US), and you click one of my links, I get a few dollars (beer money, not enough for a free pony), but you can also visit the folks who created the videos above and buy from their sites, as they did all the heavy lifting. Either way, it’s a really cool product and you can see everyone’s pretty enthusiastic about what Thesis does for your WordPress blog.
