Thesis 1.8, released last week, brings some nice new functionality and a missed opportunity. Affiliate alert: I’m an affiliate for Thesis, which means that if you buy it by clicking one of the links on this site I get a bit of beer money. See my disclosure for more details. I discussed Thesis in more [...]

The site layout controls on the Design Options page in Thesis offer the ability to completely change the layout of your site whenever you want. You can select the number and positioning of your columns (content and sidebars) and choose your page framework (full-width or page) just by selecting a few options. When you use [...]

Images add hugely to the visual appeal of a post and help to keep site visitors engaged. And if you’re using the Teasers option (magazine style layout) for displaying posts on your blog page, Thesis will automatically resize your post image to fit into the Teaser box. The Post Images and Thumbnails section on the [...]

The Thesis Custom CSS Stylesheet is the tool you use to build on the colours and fonts you set up in the Design Options screen, to make your WordPress site uniquely yours. Keep in mind the point I made in the article on design options: in order to keep your site coding as efficient as [...]

Although I’m focusing primarily on the Design Options screen in this article I do have to refer to the Site Options screen occasionally. Please read carefully in those parts as the names of different sections are quite similar and can be confusing The Design Options screen gives you point and click control over a wide [...]

The first thing I do when I create a new installation of Thesis is install the Thesis-OpenHook plugin. One of the most powerful features of Thesis is the custom-functions.php file. It enables you to move different elements of your page around and add bits and pieces wherever you want. But if you’re not a PHP [...]

When Thesis 1.7 was released I reviewed it and bemoaned the fact that I couldn’t make use of its SEO features and drop the All-in-One-SEO plugin. The reason was because removing the All-in-One results in all the META tags on all the articles on the blog being removed as well. That would mean I’d have [...]

WordPress 3.0 was released towards the end of last week and brought with it some major changes. The biggest is the integration of WordPress and WordPress Multi-User (MU) – previously two separate packages. Some others were: A new Navigation system, allowing you to add Categories or other special links to your navigation bar (the same [...]

‘I can’t find any WordPress themes I like so I’m going to build my own’ is a statement I see a lot on places like Twitter. If you’re an ace coder (really ace) with a good understanding of SEO (really good), that’s a great route to follow. There’s also the option of using Artisteer, a [...]

Yes – my getting-rid-of-plugins crusade just got another boost, thanks to the latest version of Thesis. Please note: I give you both the good and the bad in my reviews (including this one), but I’m an affiliate for Thesis and that means I will get some commission if you were to buy Thesis through the [...]

Yes, it can is the short answer. I used to think of a theme as nothing more than a nice colour scheme when I first started blogging. As long as I liked the colours, and as long as it had enough sidebars, I was a happy camper. How wrong I was. WordPress themes have progressed [...]

I recently upgraded to Thesis 1.6 on three of my sites and installed it from new on a fourth. Here are my thoughts. Firstly, just so you know, I’m an affiliate for Thesis. That means I get a bit of beer money if you end up buying it through my affiliate link (the Thesis links [...]

I upgraded to the official release of Thesis 1.5 over the weekend – here are some thoughts. Full disclosure up front: I’m an affiliate for Thesis. The official release of Thesis 1.5 must have been one of the longest drawn out sagas of any recent major product upgrade – there were seven (yes 7!) 1.5 [...]

My friend Bob Hartman pointed me in the direction of the Open Hook plugin for Thesis yesterday – and what a discovery it was. For me, that is – Bob already knew about it. I’ve written elsewhere about the Thesis theme and mentioned that, in order to maximize its powerful capabilities, one of the things [...]

The last WordPress theme you’ll ever need. Bit of an extravagant claim, I know, but consider this: The Thesis theme for WordPress has been designed from the ground up specifically to enable non-techie users to customise and change the look of their site at will. Full Disclosure up front: I use Thesis and I’m an [...]
