If you cant afford Thesis then there is an alternative called Suffusion. Its free and does all what Thesis does without the price tag. Hope that helps :)
hello, i'm working on my sisters blog and she has no knowledge of html or css. fortunate for her i do. she's running wp 3.0 and thesis 1.8. She solicited my help of course i agreed. i need to know where i can edit the html code so i can remove certain non css features. can anyone help? thanks so much
Before playing with the css, I would recommend creating what is called a 'child theme'. This allows you to edit the css and make whatever changes you like without making a mess of the original theme. It also saves you the hassle to re-entering your settings and code everytime there is an upgrade. There is a Firefox addon called Firebug that lets you look at the html and css of a website and change it in realtime.
I am using 1.8 now. The "Home" link does not show up on the nav menu whenever I select to use the "WP nav menu". It ("home") shows up when I use Thesis nav menu, BUT, the pull down menu function dos not work with Thesis nav. Which one do I select to have both "home" and pull down menu? Thanks~
Hi Lisa, I just left you a comment on your May 2009 intro to Thesis video but I have no clue where the comment went. In any case, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to creating websites but your videos sold me entirely on why getting Thesis is one of the best decisions one could ever make. I just purchased the full unlimited version yesterday through your affiliate link and I've been busy creating my workout blog since then. Loving this, Lisa - Many thanks.
I'm still running Thesis 1.7 and really do not want to upgrade right now. I was wondering if you knew of a good plugin or any other way to add custom links to my navigation bar. I have tried all ways I know of like adding "links" and "link categories" but I'd like it to be a drop down menu. I only ask you because you say you're pretty decent with html/css. Thanks. Oh and I love your site and tutorials.
Thanks for posting this vid. I have been considering getting Thesis and you may have made my decisions easier. Now, I just need to learn some PHP and CSS...
Hi Lisa I've been doing a lot of research on affiliate marketing, and I appreciate your honesty and sincerity. Quick questions. It looks like you used WordPress for the new site. Are you still using Site Sell or site builder or do you use it or just sell it. Also if a person has a website but wants to use site sell how does that work. Also just wanted to say the new site is real cute and I commend you for taking the natural challenge, but I just think I can retain my naps :0) LOL
@busngilr09 I use WordPress for my new hair site but I still use Site Build It! for flat-stomach-exercises. If you want to use SiteSell you can transfer your domain over to them for free once you are a customer. They walk you through the process.
Hello Lisa...Sadie in France here. I'm running 1.7 and inside my dashboard I can do anything just now Thesis has added a huge green button saying upgrade now... my hands are tied... The issue for me is I'm having difficulty getting my head round how to upgrade! I loaded everything myself and I'm down with FPT but the DIY instruction was confusing to me... I wondered if you, might make a video version of the DIY written guide? Your videos are so easy to follow and informative. Great job ! :o)

I don't know if theres a video for this. Do you have a video on some of the best tools to customize and maximize your browser with? I notice you use Firefox and so do I. I hate the bookmarks with all browsers. I want a bookmark that's more visual. They all fall way short of functional in my book. It takes me too long to find things. Can someone please make a functional bookmark program!
Lisa, I think you have a great site! One of the best sites on the web, hands down! Where are all your youtube videos? I only see 18 in my subscription. I'm in the stage of planning a site. I would like to do a web site about all the crazy rides I take people on with my taxi cab. I would be focusing primarily on race and relationships. I will make it fun and informative. Any suggestions you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks a ton!
@jneroo226 I also forgot to add that I will be videotaping these rides. I want to add 10 minute clips to youtube and offer the full video on my website. Thanks
@jneroo226 I hate that new video preview feature that YouTube shows when you're watching a video. They don't show them all. If you go to my channel homepage you will see them all.
Say what? Thesis and WordPress are not connected??? Gracious!!! Still have no idea why my web host insisted that I have a WordPress blog for my podcast site, and I have a Thesis theme. I really don't like either, but after a year I really have no choice, and oh well---the things you learn!! Not related, huh? You wrote an enthusiastic post about a year ago about how you loved Thesis but never pointed out that it was not related to WordPress. Wow.
@AYWalton I said "not affiliated" Big difference from "not related." What I mean is that WordPress doesn't work alongside Thesis....meaning they aren't checking to make sure their updates comply with the Thesis theme (or any theme for that matter) It's up to the theme creator to make sure their theme is compatible. When you have a paid theme with free updates, many designers make sure their theme stays compatible. Settle down. :)
Hey Lisa! I just wanted to say thanks for creating & posting such great informative videos! I do have a question about starting a website. 1. Do I need to check and see if there are other websites similar to the one I would like to create for copyright reasons and the fear of being sued? For example, if someone created a website similar to facebook, could they be sued? 2. Once I create my website, how do I copyright my site & the information I’m publishing?
Hey Lisa, could you do a video on your opinions of CPA marketing? There are marketers killing it right now with it. They even use Free traffic with articles and make 6 figures. I am not sure if you use it or not. It's like Adsense, but some would argue it's even more profitable. Just curious what you think of CPA.
@jrrowntree You either use one or the other. Thesis created a nav long before WordPress. Now WP has one. Version 1.8 just allows you to style your WordPress menu using the menu/control panel instead of getting into the code. But if you already use the Thesis nav, no reason to use a WP nav. That's why I don't use it.
@lisa3876 do you know if there are any advantages or disadvantages to using the WP nav over the Thesis nav? It would be great if you could do a more detailed explanation on your blog. I have one promoting it but nothing as good as your posts!
So I'm wondering how to put a banner as the header that is an image stored on a remote server like an affiliate banner for example rather than the header image? Has someone done a tutorial on that for the new Thesis 1.8?
@AffiliateJumpstart On my other programming channel (2createawebsite) I have a video called "Customizing Your Thesis Header" and I explain how to add custom things to your header and position them. I only show how to add a hyperlink but of course you'd just change the code to an image for a banner.
FOR EVERYONES ATTENTION :)
