A very complete look at the Thesis Wordpress theme that looks slick. I have never bought a theme before but the ease of customization here rocks. Looks especially good for those of you who think PHP looks like Chinese..unless you’re Chinese.

Strongly considering this theme now based on Rae’s review.  I read the post last night and was thrilled with the options and customizations availble.  The only commercial WP themes I’ve bought in the past were Revolution themes, and while they worked - they required a lot more hand coded PHP to function as I wanted them to.

Buy the fricking thing already. And buy the developer’s license so you can use it across all your blogs. I also looked at this based on Sugarrae’s reference, and bought it as a result - hopefully she got an affiliate payout for that :). Yes the theme is customizable, and easily so. yes the admin panel rocks. yes, support for the theme rocks. It’s all that. But the reason I bought it is much more straightforward. He’s got a great big money shot of pictures in the top right of the blog - and that block is super easy to change in the control panel. In sugarrae’s blog it contains her link to seobook. In my blog it’s got my conversion form. All you have to do is go to the admin panel and change the attributes of that block from ’rotating images’ to ’custom code’. Then paste your html code for whatever you do to convert, then save. Done, instant conversion facility on every page in the site. Normally to do all that I have to frig around with the template code and the css. A right pain in the butt. The 3 second setup to do that - and across a bunch of different blogs - that alone is worth the price of admissions. In terms of individual posts, you can upload a pic and it’ll thumbnail it and put it in the top right corner of the post automatically. Wonderful...and easy.... way to get images into all your posts. I never bothered with that stuff prior to this theme. I didn’t measure this specifically, but a rough judge of my conversions pre and post install of this theme says it’s already well paid for itself in increased conversions. Since sugarrae’s responsible for breaking this theme here, if you buy it I’d suggest you do so through her affiliate link on her blog.
