Great looking theme. It's quite sharp looking. I like it quite a bit. Bigger photos are always nice. I leave on a trip and come back and everyone seems to have upgraded their blog with a new theme.

I will have a front page similar to what you see at SM, ... but the galleries going through PS. The clients like PS much much better it seems. Michael Thanks Ron,

By the way, I spent some time on your new website last week - it rocks! You have done a wonderful job, and the photos are outstanding!

I have of course the free WP site. When I decide on how I want to integrate my site with Photoshelter, (http://pa.photoshelter.com/c/macroartinnature), and host it all myself, I will certainly give this new theme a try. Thanks again Ron for letting us know about this new theme. It has my brain churning now! : ) Michael Thanks again Ron,

Yeah, changing themes was painless, didn't lose any comments or posts. In fact, you can easily hop back and forth between the new theme and your old one as you fine tune the look. You can change the colors as well - it isn't as easy as changing fonts, columns etc., I believe you do it through a Cascade Style Sheet. I went with the default colors, but from a glance at their forums, it sounded fairly easy. If you go to their site, you can see a lot of sample sites by users of Thesis, they all look very different. There aren't any systems requirements that I'm aware of - I have mine on a bare bones hosting package right now. Hope that helps - let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck, Ron Hi Michael,

I just ran across your post over at Naturescapes and had to check this new theme out. I too wish that I had something like this 4-5 years ago when I started my first blog, and it certainly is something that I will take a good look at for my current blog, and a new type of blog that I am working on. Not having much of a chance yet to dig really deep into what they offer or exactly what can be done with the new Thesis theme, ... have you noticed if one can change the background colors within the theme, say maybe to a light gray if one chooses to do so? And, ... is there any system requirements needed to use this theme? Have you heard if things could be easily transferable from a old Wordpress.com blog to the new theme, without loss of existing comments? I'm certainly glad I ran across this, and has me a bit excited after seeing what you have accomplished. Again Ron, ..... cool stuff for a guy who produces excellent imagery! Michael Now this is really cool Ron!

The ads are a tough one - tried a week with Google ads, but didn't like how they looked, or who was being advertised. Now trying this - if they don't do great, they will be gone too!

Here I had my back to the lake - I'm assuming the water level was down somewhat. Thanks for the suggestion Mike. I was with Digital Railroad, and have considered PS - maybe in the future.

I like the fact that the photo changes at the top right every time you click on "home". After reading this I have a greater appreciation and understanding of all the work you and Janine did for me to set up my blog. Love, Mom Wow, really nice!

The big pictures are nice, but it took me a minute or two the figure out how to get to the current posts. Have a great day. Ron this is a pretty picture of the Salton Sea.

Really suits your photos nicely! I'll take you one step further though, you should check out a site called PhotoShelter if you haven't already. Does some amazing things for a photographer's website. As always though, great image! Very nice! Really suits your photos nicely!
