A Better WordPress Theme with Thesis

Blogging took the world by storm a few years ago and became a powerful tool for building traffic to an online business. In many cases, online marketers replaced traditional websites with blogging platforms such as WordPress. New online businesses were born by accident by people who just started blogging for fun. Like most positive things however, everyone else starts doing it and competition grows to the point that it becomes less effective. This is why I do not recommend that beginners start their online business with a blog. But it’s not the only reason…

The Problem with Blogging

While a format like the Thesis Theme for WordPress makes it easy for anyone to get started online, to be successful and build an ample amount of traffic to be successful, you also need to know the techniques involved in creating a high traffic website. That said, WordPress can still be a great add-on to your business model. Another problem is that the free version of WordPress is limited in what you can do to create better looking and more functional themes.

The theme you are looking at is Thesis – only available with the Thesis Theme Plug in which works from within WordPress to give you the ultimate in control over the look, feel, and style of your blog. You are invited to use this theme and learn how it works by watch this online video demonstration.

It also allows you to make quick changes to any theme you like without much knowledge of web development needed. While there is a cost for this type of control, which includes a much better comment platform, the best part is – you do not have to pay WordPress to the additional upgrades such as mapping your domain or access to editing the CSS or the layout.

If you have ever tried to use WordPress, you will have noticed that the basic themes are never easy to change. In most cases, the changes you are able to make requires knowledge of CSS to do basic editing.

The other frustrating this is the comment submission form.  With the Thesis Theme Plug In, you will get the easy submission comment forms as shown at the bottom of this article. Visitors to your site do not have to be logged in to make a comment or to link back to their own site from their comment.

Don’t forget to also download the Thesis OpenHook plug-in (which is a free add on) that works with the Thesis theme plug in for even more control.  But you first need Thesis installed on your own ftp site.  You will also need to purchase your own domain which will become the home of your WordPress Theme just as you are seeing on this website.
