Have you introduced yourself and your site in the Thesis Forum?
This is one of the first things you should do when joining the Thesis Community but so many users have not done it yet.
Visit the following link in the Thesis Forum and leave some brief details about your site.
Introduce yourself and your Thesis-Themed site(s)!

Why Introductions are so important
There are nearly 30,000 Thesis Theme users, yet only about 600 have introduced themselves in the Forum at the time of this post.
If bloggers average three blogs each (and some average more), then there could possibly be 100,000+ sites out there powered by Thesis.
If you are interested in what other Thesis users are doing, how they’re designing and configuring their sites, then a Directory of Thesis Theme Sites would be wonderful to be able to access – quickly and easily.
The Need for a Directory – with pictures!
Currently you have to trawl through over 100 pages of forum posts with no visual cues as to what the site may look like, whether they still use Thesis, or even if they still exist since last posting their ‘hello‘ message.
Grand Plan: Thesis Theme Directory and Gallery of 1,000 Thesis Sites
- We’ve just put together Part 1 of 1,000 Thesis Sites - the video. It contains the first 100 Thesis sites. We selected them mostly from Thesis users who have been around for longer than 12 months.
- If you visit the Thesis Sites Gallery page you will also have access to the links to visit these sites, quickly and easily.
- The video is on YouTube, so feel free to embed it on your site to show off the amazing and unique sites people create with the power of Thesis.
Most of us were newbies to start with and most of us create (and revamp) our sites base on trial and error and with the help of tutorials provided by the Thesis Community.
Next Steps
We have trawled through the Introduction threads and selected hundreds of Thesis sites; enough for many more parts. However, many Thesis users I know of have yet to include information and links to their sites in the Introduce yourself and your Thesis-Themed site(s)! thread.
In order to find worthy sites for inclusion into the 10 part video series (more if needed), we need to be able to find you, as do others.
1. Head on over to the thread and add your site.
This is where we will be going to find more sites to add to the Thesis Theme Sites Directory.
2. Check out the video – 1,000 Thesis Sites (Part 1).
Feel free to leave your comments about the video on this post.
Let us know if you liked the music we chose.

Will do, time for me to hop on the forum and say Hi to everyone :)
I’m hooked on blogs, and this is a lovely site. I’ll say hello in the forums methinks
i never used this before.. but this is good. i’ll try it!
Whoa… danger, Will Robinson!
KingdomGeek’s blog is the one that shows up on your YouTube splash screen (at 2:40 in the video), and is running on the included WP theme “Twenty Ten.” Rick’s been pretty vocal about his split from Thesis.
Not sure that this would mean you need to re-record the slide show, but perhaps at least pick a different image for the splash screen, eh?
(and I’ve been using Thesis for over a year, but haven’t posted on that thread. Ahh, well, I procrastinate)
I’m in the process of swapping out the video. I thought Rick had made the pre-thesis 1.8 for WP 3.0 hacks and hadn’t stayed up to date with his change. My oversight. Amazing that this was one of the only sites that I didn’t double check (assumptions made an ass out of me) AND youtube chose this image to use as a splash! Must have been fate to identify it. Thanks, will be back soon with a revised version.
That’s very nice. The themes presented are very awesome. Must have a look into it.
I have been using Thesis for one week now as of this morning. I have only been using WordPress for 3 months, and before that my only experience was MS FrontPage.
I have experimented with several Themes, including Headway. But every Theme ends up requiring some coding, and so I’m getting a little CSS “education by search engine.”
I decided that if every Theme needs some custom coding anyway, why not just go with the Theme that was made that way in the first place? I must say tho that the OpenHook plugin made it all fairly easy :-) Headway has something similar but the Visual Editor gave me problems, and drove me into the arms of Thesis.
I just joined the Thesis Forum, and look forward to l learning a lot more!
I like the simple modifications you have made. Your header is really cool and the round corners make a huge difference – very polished.
Maybe i will try it now. My site use thesis theme. I’m happy with it
Many people forgot about this, include me
Thanks for reminder us.
I never used this, Can someone give me examples of blogs that use this?
My blog using thesis plus bloggusion (until now)
Wow .. very cool, bro.. looks like I should try it later..
Great directory and I wish I could join thesis theme designers team sooner. Anyway I am still learning thesis hooks first :-)
I’ve never used, but this is good. I’ll try it!
Really nice directory!
I will join it!
I have never used this before, but it looks good. Thanks for sharing.
well the interface looks really cool I guess I will have to try this out.
