One of the reasons I chose Thesis, aside from its appearance, was the builtin SEO features. Say goodbye to Michael Torbert’s SEO WordPress plugin (but thanks to him for his hard work)!

The Thesis philosophy is simple—you can change your design all you want, but you should never change the core code that powers your website. For long-term success in the search engines, it is crucial to serve semantic, information-rich HTML that loads quickly, and optimization and efficiency are two areas where Thesis shines.

As I’ve said before, I’m not that tech savvy. What I see when I look at a new post page in Thesis that I don’t see in my old theme, even with the SEO plugin, is more SEO fields to complete.

This is what I see in Thesis.

This is what I see in my current theme.

I’m still investigating all this, and I repeat: Thesis has a learning curve.

Isn’t it fun?
