Ask HN: Is Thesis Theme the right choice for my blog?
I'm just getting started with a new blog and I'm looking into Thesis Theme. From what I've seen it's pretty good but it's hard to tell because the reviews I've found include affiliate links and banner ads to buy the theme.
Can someone give me an unbiased review?
If you think Thesis isn't the right choice can you recommend another one that has good SEO?
Here's the link to the site for anyone not familiar with it yet http://diythemes.com/
- steveplace 17y agoI use it in a couple niche blogs, and once you master it, it's quite versatile and useful. It does have a learning curve and you need exp in WP and PHP to shorten said curve. A buddy of mine did a writeup on it and he is a much better user than I am: http://bit.ly/nicksthesispage http://bit.ly/nicksthesispage [Edit] As full disclosure he does have aff links to thesis but it's still good info.
- shabda 17y agoIts a pretty good themem which I use myself, but I wont use it on any new blogs, as it has been used so much that no matter how much you customise it, I can take a look and tell you that it is thesis.
- tjr 17y agoI can take a look and tell you that it is thesis. Is that a bad thing? Do most users notice, or care?
- nickreese 17y agoYou can style thesis any way you want. Check http://blog.auinteractive.com http://blog.auinteractive.com and http://artofblog.com http://artofblog.com both run on thesis and don't look like the standard "Thesis" theme.
