I’ve released another premium Thesis skin over at ThesisThemes.com called Feedpop. I decided to take a different route with this skin and give everyone a different way to spice up their site. It’s definitely far from the Thesis standard layout: Feedpop provides a new and exciting way to show off your Thesis site. The skin boasts a [...]

Throughout my time with WordPress, I have not found a good calendar/events plugin, but Events Calendar Pro (available here) changes that.

If you haven’t heard, Wordpress 3.0 dropped the other day with a bunch of new features. Although there’s no news on a Thesis update, Thesis 1.7 seems to work fine with WordPress 3.0 but unfortunately doesn’t cash in on any of the new features.

Almost anything that can be done with a normal theme can, in almost the same way, be done with Thesis.

So is it possible to add built in widgets with a Thesis skin or customization? Of [...]

Lately I’ve been venturing into the Thesis community, coming across loads of great people and excellent resources.
