Procrastinating About Your Site Design? Thesis is on SALE.

Update: Chris says the offer is only good for the first 150 people; official details are available here:  DIY Themes Black Friday Sale  - judging by the Twittering going on about it, this won’t last long unless Chris has a change of heart about the limit.

Ok, no more excuses for that dull outdated blog layout you’re using.     The awesomeness that is Chris Pearson’s  "Thesis"  wordpress theme is on sale for 20% off until midnight, Black Friday.     Just go to DIYThemes and enter coupon code:   20D03977D0

  Seriously.  Just do it. 

Why?

Because "Thesis" isn’t exactly a blog "theme" - it’s  more a piece of software in its own right, a template framework that allows you to select colors, font styles,  even the number, location and width of the columns - all without having to dig into the pages of code.

I was an early adopter, fretted over paying what, then, seemed like a lot of money for a theme.     It was worth every penny, and I found it to be the cleanest template Wordpress template code I’d ever worked with — and that was while it was still in Beta!    I loved it so much that I shelled out the additional cash for a developer’s license so I could use it for other projects.  

Since that time, Chris has added a design dashboard and made almost everything you can imagine customizable.   Because of the customization ability, you don’t have to worry about your site looking like everyone else using Thesis  - and you can change the look as much as you want, as often as you want.    He’s even made it remarkably easy to upgrade the theme, so that your customizations don’t have to be redone with each update to his code.

And if you do get stuck,  there’s a helpful support forum to help you with anything you get stuck on, or just offer feedback.

But it was the side benefits of Thesis that surprised me -  it’s actually attracted traffic, and helped with networking.    If you wander my comment section and blog roll, you’ll notice a surprising number of blogs there that are based on Thesis.    We found each other through the Thesis community.  Who knew MindTweakers were such a stylish blogging bunch?

Plus, you’ll be supporting MindTweaks

Because yes, this is an affiliate link. 

But I’d be telling you about this sale anyway, because I know a couple of subscribers have been procrastinating about changing their theme, worried about the amount of work involved.  But Thesis does make it easy, really -   And if you need help, I’ll be around. 

Just remember to use the coupon code ( 20D03977D0 ) before 11:59 on Friday to get your discount.

Now while you’re off ordering Thesis, I’m going to go make sweet potatoes and the obligatory green bean casserole. 

Happy Thanksgiving : )
