Few days back I informed you about Thesis 1.8 is on the way and it’s good news for all Thesis WordPress theme user with developer license: Thesis 1.8 beta1 is available for download and all of you who have developer license can download thesis right away. Those who have personal or single user license, need to upgrade their license to developer license or wait for some time when Thesis 1.8 will be available for everyone.
Getting back to important factor: What’s new in Thesis 1.8 and here goes some of the feature I’m sure many of you have waited for:
Header image uploader:
You buy a theme and the first thing which you would like to do is install the theme and upload your logo banner. Earlier I have written How to add clickable header image in Thesis wordpress theme and now you don’t need it any more. Thesis 1.8 comes with image uploader and you can browse and upload banner easily with few clicks.
Windows Live writer Enable and Disable:
WordPress comes with many tags which many people are using and for many users it’s useless. For example tags for Windows live writer support. In latest Thesis 1.8 you can enable or disable this setting with one single click.
Page option Gone:
In thesis 1.8 page option is gone and now you can control all your SEO setting from site option page. Which somehow helps you to manage everything from single option page.
WordPress 3.0 Nav menu support:
One of the great feature of Thesis 1.8 is support for WordPress 3.0 nav menu support. Which itself is a great feature and this version of Thesis theme is also compatible with WordPress 3.0 in all the way. So no codepress error for custom file editor from WordPress dashboard.
No wonder Thesis WordPress theme is great choice for every WordPress blogger who take care of blog SEO and elegance. That’s the reason I have using Thesis for all my blogs. You can see all customized Thesis theme by us at Callingallgeeks, Shoutmeloud, Wphostingdiscount.
If you still thinking to get Thesis theme, My recommendation would be stop thinking and grab this theme right now:

Dev as it is this is beta version, so won’t suggest to update now on your live site. So this wait is worth
cool features. we must wait for the stable version
@Puneet Yah waiting for the stable version is good, which I believe will be launched in couple of days.
can’t wait to see final version thesis theme
Subagya I believe final version will be out in a week team. Though I’m testing this beta version on one of my site and not finding any problem till now.
I love thesis, and now these new features are rocking. I am waiting for its released.
True Bilal, even I love Thesis
Seems like they took a lot of their ideas from the Headway developers.
Mind you, with the new beta version of Headway 1.7, Thesis is still playing catch up. It’s no longer the theme everyone’s talking about.
Thanks for the update, pitty theres no really new cool features in thesis 1.8
heres hoping 2.0 will freshen things up a bit
I have 1.7 and only been using WordPress for less than 6 months. I love thesis and can’t wait for the official release of 1.8 but won’t install anything until it’s final release. Looks good to a noob like me already.
Will definitely switch to thesis in future. Right now using WP Perfect.
I should try it sometime.
The Enable support for Windows Live Writer didn’t work for me. I still have to go in and enable the XML-RPC setting in the writing settings. I would have assumed that this option would do that for me.
too bad the price is so high
would have loved to used it 
Deepanshu quality always comes with a price tag.. Initially even I was kind of scared to spend so much money on a theme when there are so many themes out there which we can buy for just 20-30$.. Though now I’m happy that I have made a good investment. You should always think about long run..
true
i will save my pocket money to buy this 
I have heard a lot about Thesis but am still not motivated to use it. There are other frameworks that work as good as Thesis if not better. Infact right now I am using hybrid framework on my blog
Is there any free theme from thesis just to have a try??
NO free or sample theme from DIYThesis Theme.
