The Thesis Theme for Wordpress is by far the most powerful and most flexible available. It has a very large and helpful support community that most Thesis Users have taken advantage of at least once or twice.
Despite that, there are a few things that I get asked all the time that are rather simple. This is not to say that those asking are unintelligent. Quite the opposite, actually. In most cases, they are simply trying to optimize their use of the powerful theme. That shows intelligence right there!
I’ve put together a few short video tutorials for those just getting started with Thesis. Instead of creating a new post for each video, I’ve decided to list them here. If requested, I will add new videos — so be sure to bookmark this page (On Delicious, perhaps).
- How to Use Newspaper Style Blockquotes
- How to Use Magazine Style Drop Caps

If you feel you’re ready to dive into some more advanced activites with Thesis, I recommend starting with my 100 Thesis Resources list. Or maybe, 10 Ways to Customize Thesis. And who could forget 3 Easy Way to Customize Thesis. You could always insert an Animated Tabbed Widget too! Ok, that’s the end of my self-promotion segment of this post.
If you’d like additional help or would like to request another video tutorial, please let me know in the comments below. I promise to respond!
