Latest gossip is all about Thesis. And it’s also about those fellow Thesis users. Some do really love DIYthemes’ Thesis. Some of them who do love their precious WordPress framework are going to be interviewed here. I’m just launching this category, so you should consider knocking on my digital doors to grab a spot in the line. Let’s go!
Yet Another Thesis Testimonial
Hi, who is it?
My name is Denise Busch, I’m yet another drawing artist from Germany.
And your domain? We want to visit your blog!
Sounds brutal. Are you going to kill people with your pencils or what is that all about?
Nope – I dedicated myself to the art of drawing and chose the everlasting World of Warcraft environment as the subject for my fantasy drawings on aggro-arts.com
Oh, that’s okay. Murder is a crime anyway. So, how long have you been using WordPress and especially Thesis?
Not for long, my site is a really fresh one, it’s maybe a month since I started it. Before I launched aggro-arts.com I was busy with all the drawing. The gallery is currently filled with 20+ unique pictures and I wanted to have my website / blog ready for visitors. The art-thing (World of Warcraft Art, so to speak) itself was on my mind for the first time almost 9 months ago…
I assume that this blog is your first one, ain’t I right? And if so: How come you chose Thesis? I mean if a greenhorn enters the web there is only little chance he or she picks the right WordPress Theme in the first place…
Indeed. I wouldn’t but my companion told me about Thesis. He uses it himself and he simply loves it. I had barely an idea of what blogging is all about, so I believed his repeating statements of how cool Thesis is to be a broad hint. Actually I didn’t order it myself – my blog was designed and maintained by the very companion I’m talking about. It’s the client site option for 40$ – although I’m not very confident about pricing in the scene I strongly believe this amount to be more than fair ;-)
These are conclusive arguments. Have you at least had a peek inside?
Yes! After watching Thesis and especially the Options Panel in action I was bound to check out what’s really inside. I had my webdesign, CSS and layout maintained by my companion as well, but from now on I’ll try to figure things out on my own.
Do you know there is a HUGE community around the Thesis Theme? You know, I learned something from the X-Files: “The Truth Is Out There”
More or less. I’m currently following @pearsonified to get the latest Thesis gossip right into my Twitter inbox (BTW: You can follow Denise Busch here – @aggroarts) but since I do not “own” the package I don’t have access to the forums and such :-(
Well, I bet you’ll find some tutorials for free if you use Google or my blog! Besides not really being inside the community forums – are you satisfied with Thesis?
Yes. No complains. No regrets.
And what do you like best with the Thesis Theme?
The many options you can choose from to make your blog unique and that each of these options look so good. In my opinion there are a lot of possibilities to go with but not too many to get lost without a handbook.
Do you think there will be a better theme available in the future? e.g. Headway
Maybe one day there will be competitive theme that also has a lot of options to choose from but I personally think that Chris Pearson and his team won’t let someone else outdo them that easily.
Hey Chris, did you hear that?
One last question: Would you subscribe what I state on almost every page? e.g. I LOVE THESIS
Yes, I also love Thesis for its simplicity and elegance.
Thanks for your time spent answering my questions.
Nice words, nice woman, nice art
Go and visit aggro-arts.com for some Aggro-Art!
I believe this section is going to be HUGE, so beware of hesitating. I repeat: Don’t hesitate to contact me, I’d like to interview YOU about your Thesis experiences!

(Hate to do this in a comment, but you can always delete this later. I get a fatal error when trying to use the email address you give on the Try page.)Hi!
I love that you linked to my work, but the main site (http://www.hitthosekeys.com) is a hand-coded and original design of my own, not Thesis. Only the blog portion of the site (http://www.hitthosekeys.net/wildkeys) is run on Thesis.
Would you mind very much correcting the link? Since I do web design professionally, it matters to me that I be known as both being able to adapt pre-existing code and write code of my own.
Thanks for understanding,
Lisa

Hey Lisa, thanks for showing the dead link.
I’m currently correcting my mistake – I knew that your blog was the /wildkeys part but I seem to have missed adding it.
Sorry, wasn’t meant to be like that :-)
Edit: Fixed.
