Last month we informed you about release of Thesis 1.8 beta which was available only for Thesis users with Developer license and now here is a good news for all WordPress users that Thesis 1.8 final is out. So all of you who all are waiting for this final release can grab Thesis Theme now.
For the info Thesis 1.8 has made the customization of Thesis theme simpler and you can quickly upload banner using inbuilt header image uploader. No more playing with custom.css to upload your banner.
Also Thesis 1.8 comes with many cool features and if you have missed this, I suggest read Thesis 1.8 review and features now.
Thesis 2.0 is also about to roll some time in future and DIYthemes are thinking to increase the price of Thesis theme with 2.0. Just to let you know if you buy Thesis theme now, you will be entitled to life time free upgrade of Thesis theme.

I’m going to upgrade in a few minutes, thanks a lot for sharing this.
Thesis is awesome, and I can’t wait for version 2.0 to be released. Now, the only thing I’m considering is if I should get my own customized skin / theme for Thesis.
Jens getting your own customized design helps in branding. That’s what I do for all my Thesis powered blog.
You can also take help of my Thesis Customization service

Wow, thanks. I didn’t know that you had your own service
I’ll leave a message and ask for a quote (hopefully it will be fairly cheap)
Good news for WordPress thesis users
@Anup Thanks for your comment.
Harsh i downloaded thesis theme but its layout is not same as your’s layout. I contacted then and they said that i have to do lot of customization to make layout look like shoutmeloud type. I want to ask that did u did any customization on thesis. I thought that you didnt since shoutmeloud and techiemania.com has exactly same layout…
Hey @Mazekaro
Thesis theme at @shoutmeloud is custom layout and to get this kind of layout or similar to this, you need to edit your custom.css and custom_functions.php.
I have shared few tutorials here, this might help you

Customization is not a big deal if you go through the tutorials on DIYthemes. You will find some here: http://diythemes.com/thesis/visual-slider-sidebars-tabbed-widgets/
where you can have colored widget boxes like here on this site.
for footer I would suggest you this tutorial : http://asnio.com/free/footer-mod/
Wow , thesis is updating too fast ,
Hope they have not increased license cost , i might just buy before thesis 2.0
Blog404 they have not but according to it’s creator Tweet report, I believe they might increase this with the launch of Thesis 2.0.
@Mazakaro
Thesis theme is a plug N play theme. The theme will be plain when you download. You should customize it. If you can’t you should hire someone. Check the service page in Shoutmeloud and contact Harsh for your task completion.
