I am in the process, as previously mentioned, of migrating this blog over to a new domain: My WP Works. Along with the new domain, the site is getting a complete makeover thanks to the Thesis premium theme. I wanted just the right WordPress theme to showcase my blog about WordPress plugins.
It seems that every site I really like has the same clean, organized look, and they were all powered by Copyblogger’s WordPress theme – Thesis. So, I purchased Thesis for a mere $87. While I waited on my logo art from Pamela Wilson at Big Brand System, I tweaked the layout. (By the way, I am very pleased with my new logo!)
While Thesis is great, it does have a learning curve. It doesn’t run out of the box, so if you buy it, be prepared to do some research or hire someone to do it for you. I love figuring out all that techy stuff, so I jumped right in.
I’m going to write a post about WordPress’s import/export feature, so I’ll save the details of that for later this week. I’m also going to post about Thesis’s builtin SEO. According to what I’ve read, you can just uninstall the SEO plugin. Thesis has everything you need for great SEO. I’ve also noticed there are several plugins I used with this website that don’t seem to work or are not needed. More on that in the next posts.
Thesis has great support. The DIY forum is active, and you can have an answer in sometimes minutes.
Take a look at My WP Works and let me know what you think!
**Update** I’m going back through my blog posts to optimize them for SEO using Copyblogger’s Scribe SEO plugin. I love it! It is so easy to use and yet so effective. A word of encouragement about Thesis (affiliate link): I hardly ever use the support forum now. Once my site was set up, Thesis runs seamlessly and requires no maintenance.
