The original purpose of this site was to provide tutorials on Thesis in exchange for commissions earnt by referrals. Well, let’s call a spade A SPADE (as they say.)

I benefit by way of money to keep my Jaffa Cake habit alive (trust me, this doesn’t pay the bills,) and Thesis customers don’t pay any extra when they buy through me, and MAYBE gain an insight or two by way of joining my site.

It’s a “nothing to lose” arrangement if you will.

Thing is?

Tutorials for this kick-ass WordPress theme are ABUNDANT (much like the Jaffa Cakes in my cupboard after grocery shop day.)

They’re also FREE, unlike my Jaffa… but whatever :P

So … I have to applaud the community, and in particular, whoever put all those tutorials together over at the official DIYthemes site.

YOU ROCK!

So where does that leave me, this site, and my ability to fund my eating habits?

Well … unless I change direction … it doesn’t look good.

Thus the whole NEW DIRECTION I’m going in so I can more easily ADD VALUE to those customers who rock enough to buy through my site :-)

Bottom line is this: I don’t want to feed you more of the same sh*t that you can already find out there.

Be sure to keep tabs on my Thesis 2.0 updates page for more snippets as I get them ;-)

It looks like some level of drag & drop functionality will be making an appearance in the upcoming Thesis 2.0 according to a comment left by the developer over at his personal website (well worth a look, by the way.)

… you’ll be able to drag and drop the elements of your site with the next version of Thesis.

I can’t imagine the implementation of this to be anything like Headway theme, though, whose USP is entirely about the drag & drop / visual layout approach. No, I expect it’s much more subtle than that.

Daniel McClure of Mixed Media Marketing has released his first Thesis child theme simply called G+ … inspired by the styling and layout of the new social network Google+

Don’t own Thesis yet? Damn! You’ll need it to enjoy this free skin, and hundreds more like it … I highly recommend it. By the way … many people like to grab my Thesis bonus when buying their copy, and maybe you will too ;-)

It doesn’t happen often …

Chris tweeted on July 26th, this:

I explained one of Thesis 2′s new abilities to a coder the other night, and it visibly blew his mind. Seriously, I had to hire a maid.

When WordPress 3.2 arrived, the powerful Thesis Category SEO controls went missing. Well, Thesis 1.8.2 corrects this issue, and also introduces a new Dashboard widget that displays the latest Thesis news at a glance.

Meanwhile, the world awaits the arrival of Thesis 2.0 …

That is all :-)
