I just finished giving InternetsCelebrities.com an extreme makeover with a customization of the Thesis WordPress Theme (damn straight that’s an affiliate link). Thesis is getting pretty ubiquitous these days but if you’re not already familiar, it’s a premium theme created by uber-web-designer Chris Pearson. This is a homecoming of sorts for us because Pearson also created the free Copyblogger theme that we used when we first launched this site two designs ago.
I’ve been using Thesis at Oh Word since relaunching last year and I’m still impressed by its flexibility and power. Thesis is my proverbial exosuit cargo-loader in the life-or-death battle with an alien that to me best represents website design.
So I was very excited when DIYThemes – the partnership behind Thesis – joined our Stadium Status Kickstarter drive to sponsor the upcoming video. They’re fans of ours, we’re fans of theirs – you couldn’t ask for a better sponsor situation.
Some of the goodness in this site upgrade won’t even be visible to most viewers — the Thesis admin options are incredible, the blog’s source code is clean and honed for search-engine goodness. But we also stepped up the interface and are providing more ways for you to connect with the IC’s.
Best of all, the site has that new blog smell and that should lead to a lot more blogging.
