Serradinho’s 1st Guest Post – Thesis Tutorial

I am very excited to say that I’ve done my first guest post on customizing Thesis. Somone from ThesisThemeHQ.com had asked me via email if I was willing to write a guest post about some Thesis customizations that I’ve done on my site.

I had previously written 3 posts about customizing Thesis,  Cool CSS trick for Thesis, Thesis Customizations for Sitemap and Archives Pages and 3 Basic Thesis Customizations, which gave me a head start on what my guest post format would be like.

Now, writing for another blog can be scary, but very exciting at the same time. I’m not going to go into much detail as I would like you to read about it at the source.

Tutorial: Customizing Thesis – Standard to Unique in 5 Easy Steps.

I hope you enjoy the post and I would love to hear what you think about it, whether it’s good or bad. The more feedback I receive, the more I would know what to do next time.

Congratulations George, there is nothing better than the knowledge that someone out there appreciates your work enough to do ask you to do a guest post for them. High praise indeed, and I’m sure it was well deserved.

I really like your guest post, and I left a comment there too. You are clearly very knowledgeable about Thesis customization – I didn’t even know it was possible to customize so many aspects of the theme! I’m going to try some of your tips on my personal blog.

George, I am glad that you did your 1st post. Last but not the least :)

I’ve to mention that you tricked me somehow: you said: “Somone from ThesisThemeHQ.com had asked me …” Well I thought that ‘someone’ is anybody but figured out -from comments here- that ‘Someone is a nickname not anonymos :P

Well done :)

Nice post. Well done man.
That is one possible disadvantage of theme frameworks. They have a learning curve. I also changed me theme recently (switched to Hybrid Theme framework), and it took me some time to understand even the absolute basics.

Great work George
The best part is your customization tip is based on your own work and after implementing them you are writing about it.
I’m 100% sure, you must be regretting using thesis so late ?? ;)
