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.

    I found Throwing Sheep book easy and enjoyable to read. Once I picked it up and started reading, I couldn't put it down. The book looks at social networking sites and Web 2.0 platforms in general and their impact on corporate and institutional structures. It is a fun read--it covers topics such as how to "un-friend" a friend and other social networking etiquette, little-known facts about the beginning of social networking sites, democracy 2.0 (Obama), privacy issues and the nature of social networking's democratic, horizontal structure compared to the vertical structure of most of our society's institutions (corporations, churches, governments, schools, etc.). This is a fascinating and engrossing book about a timely topic. PS - An interesting tidbit from the authors: Bill Gates has a page on LinkedIn. I checked it out; it's true. Not surprisingly, Bill is not taking any inmail or introductions.

  • Love the video book reviews Chris. Yes, both these books are terrific, but I find myself not paying too much attention to written reviews these days. The video format works great.
