After reviewing and thinking for quite some time at last I have decided to go for Thesis theme for my blog.
Believe me, I was really thinking a lot on to whether I should spend money for a theme when there are so many professional looking templates for free but let me tell you I made a right choice to buy Thesis theme. I always wanted something that was easy to handle and tweak, simple and good looking and also fast loading. I think thesis has given me all these. Some of the few things I have experience in the last few days after downloading thesis -
1) Flexible: This is one of the biggest thing for which one should buy and install the thesis theme. It’s so simple to change the structure of you blog from 1-column to 2-column or 3-column, everything just a click away. To work with this theme you never need to know anything about programming or PHP.
2) Customization: If you have little knowledge of coding and you want to tweak the theme its again very simple compared to all themes I have used to far. You only need just two files custom.css and custom_funtion.php that’s all. Any customization you need just add it in these two files and it’s done. Thesis uses something called hooks for this to get done. Cool isn’t it!! Saves lot of hassles going around different files.
3) SEO Factor: This is the heart of the Thesis theme. While I was doing my review about Thesis (before buying it) I read that blogs with thesis themes are easily indexed by search. It’s true because I can see that in case of my blog and I believe this is because this theme is optimized for search engines. The code structure allows for easy indexing in search engines.
4) Support: I have now learned little on how to tweak Wordpress themes but I am not an expert and need help most of the time. One of the main things was support which I was concerned before buying thesis because I don’t want to land up figuring out myself when I am paying for it. I should say the Thesis forums are active and full of unselfish people who know the theme in and out. Every day I learn so much and still I see there are so many.
5) Upgrades: Last but not the least and something that makes me very happy, is on buying thesis theme I am automatically signed up for lifetime upgrades.
It’s been just few days using the thesis theme and I thought it was worth sharing with you all about my experience. Please feel free to chip in your thoughts. If you like something do let me know and also things you didn’t like. I want to hear from you!!

I run one of my blogs on Thesis but I’ve decided to use another theme for my other ones. While Thesis is good, I couldn’t get my head around HOOKS, and I wanted something that didn’t need me to play around with CSS and PHP. I can get around a little with the coding but it always gives me a headache and I much prefer leaving it alone.

Well working on CSS and PHP is a bit of pain when you are not a programmer or dont like doing it. I too didnt like much though I have done some coding. But, I believe things are much easier with thesis HOOKS .If you have access to the thesis forum there is so much of information and tips and trick out there that you only need copy and past in your blog.
