Thesis WordPress theme is one of the most popular themes in the WordPress community. It is known for being super SEO friendly, and a lot of super-bloggers use it as a starting point for their blogs (see an example here). Thesis is an extremely clean, simple, and yet powerful theme for all bloggers and those interested in starting their very first blog.
Thesis is a three column premium theme (content + 2 – column sidebar). You can modify the theme easily to have the column show on the right or left side of the content. The theme is coded in PHP + HTML + CSS, but the developers have kept SEO as their high priority. What I like about this theme is the contrast of colors in the design. Have you ever been to a blog that you really like but hurts your eyes badly every time you try to read it? That’s not what you get with Thesis.
Thesis theme has a lot of real estate for ads, if you are interested in monetizing you blog. You can also customize the headers as you wish, which means you don’t have to create a blog with this theme. You can even use Thesis for your corporate site.
In summary, here is why many super bloggers are using Thesis:
- Design: Thesis is simple and intuitive. Things are where they are supposed to be.
- Flexibility: there are lots of ways to customize your Thesis-based WordPress blogs.
- SEO: the folks behind this theme have taken time to optimize the code for search engines. Who doesn’t like free traffic?
- Accessibility & Usability: Thesis designers have paid extra attention to web usability and accessibility. It doesn’t take a genius to navigate through Thesis blogs.
- Layout: Thesis’ layout is highly customizable. You don’t have to be a coding genius to change things around.
- Cross-browser Compatibility: your Thesis blog is going to show up right on top browsers such as IE, Firefox, and Chrome.
- Lifetime Updates: Thesis comes with lifetime updates. That means you won’t have to spend a time to get your hands on updates done to this theme.
- Support: if you are stuck, you can always count on the folks behind Thesis to help you out.
- Affordable: for a such a sophisticated theme, Thesis is actually under-priced. $87 is not a lot for such a well-designed premium theme.
You can get your hands on Thesis for $87 but you will have to leave the footer intact and use it on only one site. You can get a professional license for $164, but you get to use it on multiple sites, and you can remove the footer. If you are looking for a killer WordPress theme, you won’t go wrong with Thesis.

Building a profitable WordPress site is all about being at the right place, in the right niche, and at the right time. There is one niche that allows you to be at the right time all the time. The celebrity niche is very hot, and it continues to be hot regardless of the economy, terrorism, earthquakes, or even giant astroids hitting the earth. If you are into the celebrity market, and you know how to spin your words in a way that makes your blog unique, you are going to have the opportunity to make a lot of money from advertising and sponsorships. That’s just a fact.
Creating a celebrity blog/site may seem daunting to most folks, but WordPress is your friend here. You can either choose a free theme and build your blog on that or you can do the smart thing and invest a small amount of money to make your site look professional and advertiser friendly. If you prefer the latter solution, Celebrity Gossip is a must checkout.
Celebrity Gossip theme comes in three styles: Warm, Dark, and Light (see a demo here). You can further customize the theme to fit your style, but these three styles should get you started in no time. The theme comes with an automatic image resizer, which means thumbnails will be created for you on the fly. What I like about this theme is the fact that it comes advertisement ready and with the PSD files. You can make changes as you wish to make your site more friendly to sponsors.
Celebrity Gossip is compatible with IE, FireFox, Flock, and Chrome, which is a big plus. It’s also social media friendly and ready for SEO. Overall, the programmers have done a good job of duplicating “Kineda.” The theme is not expensive (at $39), and the fact that it’s tested with WP 2.7 should give you piece of mind on your investment. If you are into celebrities, now you can no excuse not owning your own celebrity blog.
