To be honest, my customization from the original was not TOO drastic. On a scale from 1 to 10, I would rate the tweaks I implemented at about a 2 or a 3. Most of the custom additions are things that I learned how to do via tutorials at other blogs freely!

I highly recommend checking Thesis out and learning as you go, you will not regret it!

I like the theme, you’ve done a lot to it from the original. When I went to the DIY site I didn’t even recognize it. I was thinking I might use the theme myself, I just don’t think I quite have the skills to modify it like you did quite yet.

I’m seriously considering buying Thesis too – Ive never paid for a theme, and inability to design is only matched by my inability to hack css -so it could be the right solution for me!

Rochelle,
The nice thing about Thesis is that once you learn the CSS override system it uses (which I am still doing), changing the colors becomes very easy.

I recommend going to the DIYThemes members forum and reading up on the threads dealing with customization.

Using a combination of Firebug/Web Developer plugins for Firefox, it becomes easy to find out what CSS styles control certain parts of the text of your theme, then you can simple add a custom CSS declaration in the custom.css of the theme.

I am no expert on this, but highly recommend you check out some of the forum posts, VERY helpful people there. Congratulations on the Thesis purchase!

Just a week ago I also invested in the Thesis theme. The only thing I wish is that it was easier to change colors. If they made that as easy as the rest of it, this theme would be unbeatable!

Your site looks nice. I like the clean look of the Thesis theme.

It definitely has a learning curve, but the nice thing about Thesis is the HUGE amount of tutorials and resources on the net designed to walk you through customizing it.

Not to mention the fact that there is a wonderfully helpful community only forum that helps you with design questions as well.

I highly recommend you check it out!

I love the Thesis Theme Tyler. I am starting a new blog and want to use the Thesis Theme. However, I think that I still will need a designer to help me to customize it.
