Hi all,
I just wanted to say that I’m not using my previous theme anymore and have updated to the Thesis theme. I’m still playing around with a few things, so please be patient as there will be site updates for the next couple of days until I am happy with the look and feel.
What I changed already:
- I changed the header to include my site logo. I had to check the forum for the css code, not to hard to add the new css in my custom file.
- I added a border to my site with a background. I still would like to use an image, but still trying to find the right one.
- I have had to adjust some of my pages as my previous theme showed child pages and Thesis does not.
- I had to fix up my Google search page, it was not working at all.
- I installed Thesis OpenHook plugin – you can have a look at what it really does here. This is a very handy plugin that saves me loads of time.
What I still would like to do:
- I like the small author bio box at the bottom of the post like on ShoutMeLoud website. Harsh says he will make a post about it and I just can’t wait.
- Move the navigation menu to under my site logo.
- Change background color to an image.
- Add Adsense to my site.
- Maybe have a look at my sidebars and try and make it unique
- getting my links, sitemap and contact page up again and in order. My old theme had templates for theme and Thesis does not.
I know there are still loads for me to do to get my site to be unique and that is why it will take a couple of days or even weeks.
If you don’t know Thesis, then there are three movies below you can watch to find out more about Thesis. Go have a look.

I have not put any affiliate links in this post like I see many other do when they write a post about Thesis. I have instead just added 2 banners in my sidebar for that, so feel free to click on any links.

But; on my screen it doesn’t totally “fit”- so I have a slider on the bottom to move my screen to the right.

Love the theme. It’s very clean and easy to navigate.

@Maria – thanks for the comment
@Tycoon Blogger – thanks for the comment. I just could not leave my header out. I paid a bit for it and I’m going to use it. I am still trying out a few things to make my site unique from the other users
@George
It is a time to mobilize your website.Don’t ignore the mobile users,you must consider them also.Use ‘mobilepress’ plugin for that.Hope to see the mobile version of your website soon.Happy blogging!!!
Grr..everybody is changing to Thesis. It makes me jealous
“I added a border to my site with a background. I still would like to use an image, but still trying to find the right one.”
Wish I knew enough CSS to do that..I might need to “steal” it from your site’s layout with my Firefox extensions if u don’t mind

@Ricky – I am in the process of looking at one. I will let you know when done.
@Nihar – I kept the header image as I like it. Thanks for noticing that
You are doing a wonderful job, and sounds like you are having a great time too, which makes it all a part of the integral experience. Well done on the changes made, and the ones you are currently in progress of doing. These all sound very exciting, and like you I have similiar interest in changes. Soon, will get down and work on my site. Have only been changing little snippets, and I feel inspired to be more creative with it when I see other bloggers like yourself, sharing such fulfilling experiences about their creativeness in experience, through the art of Website Development. I too love working on the website space, as its such a great part of my imagination. Nice to drop by.
Ana’s last blog post..Breathing Naturally
Hi, I am a newbie blogger needing advice. I have been following your blog since you were using the One-Theme. I wanted to know, why you chose to switch from One-Theme to the Thesis theme. I am currently using the Comfy Theme, but since I don’t know any programming, I am unable to change the layout of my theme. Do you think, the One-Theme or the Thesis theme is better for a newbie who does not know any programming. Thank you for your advice.
[rq=933,0,blog][/rq]Hello world!
@Chintu – I will send you an email with details.
Hi George,
I’m impressed. I wanted to know what version of Thesis you are using?
.-= Anton Amoto´s last blog ..Steve Interview with Posterous.com’s Co-Founders =-.
@Anton – I’m using the latest version. I see you are using version 1.3.3. I suggest you upgrade. Can I ask you why you are using such an old version?
I’m still playing around the old Thesis theme environment. I will upgrade very soon.
