Two Really Useful Thesis Documents

thanks, Chris. Very useful info

I *think* I fixed that. Try now?

nice theme, congrats! but my wordpress spot& it s contents are too smooth for this design. otherwise I would use it. definitely.

Chris, I want to start out by saying that I really enjoy reading your insights on social media. And yes, I realize that this is your blog, and you can do whatever you want on it. That said, here's my question:

Why you pimp Thesis so hard?

There's a giant blue box after every post, there's the tag in every footer and the 125×125 on the sidebar. I know that he gives at least 50% to affiliates (at least $40) for every sale that comes from your site.

You shouldn't be that hard up for cash, considering you command a hefty fee (for good reason, and fully justifiable) for your public appearances.

I only ask because I work with Thesis on a regular basis, making custom modifications for clients. I know that it has a steep learning curve, is nearly impossible to do heavy modification to, it's owner (Chris Pearson) is very cocky, and DIY Themes (Thesis) currently butting heads with WordPress over being GPL compliant – All reasons why I stopped using Thesis.

I think your blog is incredibly insightful, I just don't agree with the company you pimp.

hey Chris,

I always enjoy your posts and information. But I think thesis is over my head. I've heard its got a steep learning curve and I'm not so techy. Crap, I had trouble just getting WordPress installed :-(

Anyway, I appreciate your stuff.

Best regards to ya!

The expand2web article contains advice to disable the RSS feed on the page unless your visitors understand what RSS is.
I would probably NOT follow that advice, because search engines look for the presence of the RSS feed in order to rank and weigh your site.
Overall it looks like a good Thesis primer, but I had to make that bit of a correction for anyone who is going to use the Thesis directions step by step.

Hey Chris,
I am trying to talk my client into using the Thesis Theme (We are currently using Presstopia–not my favorite) for their Blog. The CTO said he had a few questions and I was hoping you could help answer them.

1. Does the Thesis theme support Java Script
2. Does it have a Sequel Back End–I dont know what that means…hopefully you do : )
3. Is it .net

Thanks so much for the help, hope you are enjoying your vacation

If it's not uncool to toot my own horn, I also build WordPress/Thesis sites, including my own. Very reasonable rates, references. Will reply w/ client site list, URLs, etc. to anyone who's interested. Normally I wouldn't be this crass, but we all have to make a living, right?

If it IS uncool, just delete this. :-) You have a great site and I don't want to walk all over the comments with my muddy boots.

It's only as techy as you want it to be. It installs like any other theme, and then you can tweek it a little at a time. You don't have to touch the geeky hooks at all if you don't want to.
