Great tips. I always wondered, what makes Thesis Theme so special? I do most of my Wordpress coding by hand and am always distrustful of premade templates.

First of all, they've succeeded. Don't be distrustful because Chris Pearson has done everything correctly and taken care of all the quirks of Wordpress. So out of the box it just works. It's a great framework to build css upon as it's pretty empty when you get it, and you can go nuts. There are custom hooks to place everything and all classes are correctly done.

There's also a very large admin panel which I don't use too much but is great for beginners or quick switches to fonts, etc. and also layout changes (column numbers and placement of sidebars)

It's great for making lots of sites with too because you can just upload a new css file to completely change the look of your site, without installing a new theme.

All in all, I love Thesis <3.

So is it actually the php that's different? What quirks did they fix? I thought it was just some already coded theme. Guess I should find someone who has a license so I can take a look at the guts :)
