When it comes to great features, Thesis WordPress Theme is what comes in my mind for a WordPress Blog or website. Being a Thesis Developer, I believe Thesis Theme is highly SEO optimized with many other flexible options.

In this tutorial, I will guide you to install Thesis theme on a WordPress Blog. If you haven’t bought a Thesis Theme yet, then you can buy/download your thesis copy now by visiting the link: Download Thesis Theme

After buying, login to the Thesis Theme account on DIYThemes, where you can have a fresh copy of Thesis WordPress Theme and it will be in a Zip format. (Save the zip file on your hard disk for future reference)

Once you have the thesis theme, follow the procedure below:

  • Step #1: Login to the WordPress Dashboard  Admin and navigate to Appearances > Themes. (you can also refer the screen shot below)

I will come up with more articles on Thesis Options and Customizations soon. If your WordPress blog is currently using a custom theme, then you can redesign it using the Thesis Theme Services.
