One of the things that makes running a blog such a challenge is all the behind the scenes work that goes into it. I could spend hours making small little tweaks to the blog in hopes of making it more of an enjoyable experience for all my readers. I hope you enjoy it! As an inexperienced blogger, I had to learn alot on my own along the way. One of the things that have made the experience so much more enjoyable is picking a theme (website template) that makes my life so much more easier. That theme is Thesis.
This weekend I just upgraded to Thesis 1.5. What’s that mean to you? Nothing really. It just means that this financial planning blogger can devote more time to cranking out helpful articles without having to worry about having to understand html code. That makes me and mama Rose a very happy couple.

Thanks for mentioning my article. The site’s looking really good!
That One Caveman’s last blog post..Build a Budget You Can Use
I say boo on thesis. I love burying my head in a sea of PHP and HTML until javascript comes out of my ears! I know the feeling on tweaking, I spend way too much time on it.

Don’t worry my friend. While Thesis does help with some of the basic coding for novices as myself. With all their “hooks” you have plenty of coding to do to all the tweaks you want. Trust me
Thanks so much for the mention, I do appreciate it!
Yeah Thesis is great! Thanks for the roundup!
