Just come from your reply to me on speeding up wordpress and I must say that Thesis is very impressive.
The SEO features alone would save one maybe two plugins.

Layout, menu… all have great features.
And the coding written for efficiency… superb.

Many thanks for great articles… I’m off to think about Thesis?

I would not recommend that someone brand new to this tackles those until you're comfortable with a basic understanding of CSS.If you're reasonably serious about blogging and keen to learn about working online, then you may want to consider the special offer I'm running at the moment: buy Thesis through my affiliate link and I'll install and customise it to your requirements, free of charge.I also offer an ongoing support service in which I'll teach you how to use Thesis (and WordPress) to the point where you're able to run on your own.If you'd like to discuss those ideas a bit more let me know through the <a href="http://www.wealthydragon.com/blog/about-me/contact/" rel="nofollow">contact page</a> - I'm very flexible with arrangements and we can sort out something that works for us both.Cheers,Martin. Hi Jim,

Thanks for dropping in..!

The short answer to your question is that most of the changes you might want to make to layout (number of columns, column widths, magazine or traditional blog style, etc), are made by selecting options in the control panels.

For someone who’s new to blogging this may seem daunting at first, but don’t worry because if you make a change that you don’t like, or that causes some kind of freak out, you can just change it back again.

Essentially, any change you make through the control panels is easy to make and easy to change.

Where it gets more involved and requires some techie type knowledge is when you start using the Custom CSS file and the Custom Functions file. I would not recommend that someone brand new to this tackles those until you’re comfortable with a basic understanding of CSS.

If you’re reasonably serious about blogging and keen to learn about working online, then you may want to consider the special offer I’m running at the moment: buy Thesis through my affiliate link and I’ll install and customise it to your requirements, free of charge.

I also offer an ongoing support service in which I’ll teach you how to use Thesis (and WordPress) to the point where you’re able to run on your own.

If you’d like to discuss those ideas a bit more let me know through the contact page – I’m very flexible with arrangements and we can sort out something that works for us both.

Cheers,

Martin.

You had responded to a thread I created on the warrior forum about the Thesis theme. I was just reading your review. It looks like you like the theme. I don't know if I am getting cold feet or just scared because maybe I would be getting in over my head. I am relatively new to blogging. I started my blog a month ago and I have been able to add plug ins, play around with widgets, and stuff like that. I even just recently found that I can enlarge the font on headers, but thats it. As I read the post and you were talking about when you upgraded to 1.5 you had to adjust columns and you had to reinstall your contact forum plug in I was wondering if a new guy like me can do that? I mean I don't know code and stuff like that( i can't even think of the acronyms CSS and such). Is it difficult to adjust columns or is that something that is simple once you know how. Just curious. .-= Jim Hardin´s last blog ..How to Build Better Relationships =-. Hi Martin!
