Very nice, but unfortunately it's too late in the game for me to change from Blogger.
I've been considering a changeover to Thesis as well. Any thoughts on viewer culture shock when they see a new design and their comfy old site is gone?

Hi Chris,
I love how clean, simple and easy to navigate the new site is. That said, I miss the color scheme that you used in the old design. Those colors were more inviting. These colors seem sort of sterile or something. Either way, it's your content that really matters, and this does make accessing it better. Overall, great new design!

@Tumblemoose - you know, that's a really great question. Does changing the theme really mix up the UI? Sometimes. Definitely. One really great but VERY custom theme is Mitch Joel's theme at Six Pixels of Separation. When you go to comment, it's a little different than you originally perceive.
I have to think about how one might transition. My first answer is just a simple blog post.

Hi Chris,
I went to Six Pixels...
That is one Ka-Pow! comment section. Very cool.
I imagine a simple blog post alerting the readership to the upcoming change would be pretty effective. I was thinking wouldn't it be cool if there was an ap that could sense a returning visitor and the first time they come to the newly designed site they saw the old design initially and then the page morphed/transitioned into the new design.
Wish I knew something about computers... ;-)
Cheers

Hi Chris, The new design is definitely easy on the eye. Nice work. I'm currently using SimpleBalance 2.0 whilst I work on a skin for Sandbox.

I just purchased the thesis theme this weekend! I've ported my running blog Go the Distance over and noticed some immediate improvements - the rotating images on the right have increased traffic deeper into the site! Awesome!
Now I have the exciting task of porting my more content-heavy site over. For some reason, that task is a bit daunting, because I think it really could use some overall rebranding.
The idea of being able to play with thesis and customize it makes it a fun project, however!

Chris,
Two more things about thesis: 1 - The DIYThemes forum rocks. Rick, Jen, Kristarella, PhoenixGuy and IndianGuru are very helpful. 2 - Thesis 1.3.2 has hooks, which means that anyone (even Grandma) can create awesome looking blogs.

I gotta say...I liked the look of your other site. I think Thesis has a nice look and all, but thought your site had a unique look, particularly the banner and I liked the fonts on posts. Meg is using Thesis on a project for me, so I understand the hoopla...I just liked the look of your previous site better.

Have not yet dug into the hooks functionality in Thesis 1.3.2. This is from the original release: http://www.shorespeak.com/blog. Note that I only know enough about code to be extremely dangerous and break things! I am a Thesis fan and affiliate.
Site looks great Chris.

I'm using one of Chris Pearson's themes myself, and I keep wanting to take the plunge and move to Thesis based on all the positive buzz it's getting. Maybe for Christmas, I'll treat myself.
faryl

LOVE the site, Chris! The colors feel refined, yet cozy. I have to admit, I checked out the site yesterday to see the new design and was thinking it was quite subtle! ;-)
Does having a new design feel like getting a new car or moving into a new place? I feel like I'd keep going to my home page just to look at it!
(btw I covet thesis! I can't wait to get my hands on a copy and try to merge my current design with it!!!)

I'm jealous of your nav bar. That's the one thing that is giving me the most troubles. Maybe Chris can elaborate on how he did that. I also love the email/rss/twitter box at the top--I think I'll do something like that soon.
My site is at Oktober5.com, and I just released a plugin specifically for Thesis users that creates a visual recent posts section with thumbnails, title and excerpt (if you want).

Bryan Person

From a visual perspective, I also liked the old design that Nico built. Bolder, livelier colors in comparison to this design. On the other hand, if this theme gives you better results on the SEO front, that's probably reason enough to make the switch.
Are there other behind-the-scenes benefits to using the Thesis theme? Maybe Chris Pearson can chime in on this front. I'm on the lookout for a good theme for an upcoming work project, so I'm all ears ... or, uhm, eyes!
And as a guy who reads you almost exclusively in Google Reader, I personally won't fret either way over your design choice! I read you because the content is good.

I have to admit, it is a very pretty site. Someday when I have more money then I have now, I'm going to get a premium theme. I don't like to pay someone to customize for me, though, because doing it myself is how I'm teaching myself CSS *laughs*. I learn by doing.

So I've been off the net for about a week or so and just noticed the new site design today... My initial thought was "what the?!?" I liked the old one ya know! It was the Chris Brogan that I know. But after looking through and diggin' around (the comments section, and seeing how things are tidied up on the sidebar, I'm starting to like it.
As far as lay-out, I think it really works and connects (the fonts are great!...especially on the "Contact Me" page which I think is particularly important for you since you set sail on your new pirate ship "New Marketing Labs." Not that people wouldn't contact you otherwise, I'm just saying it's crisp, stands out and makes it easy for people to want to contact you). The cool lay-out of the comments section makes it cool for us (your readers) to see who else is hanging around and sharing in all that you dish out.
Anyway, enough rambling...just wanted to tell you that I dig it!
Teresa Wu

I normally read your blog through RSS — just checked it out and I love the way he's tweaked the theme. There's a lot of interactivity yet it's still very clean.
I've been a big fan of the Thesis theme after seeing it on various blogs. If only the college student budget would allow for it. :)
Ari Herzog

Congrats, Chris, for taking the leap into Thesis.
I migrated ariwriter.com from Blogger to Wordpress in early October; and upgraded to the Thesis theme the first week of November. There were many reasons why, namely wanting a minimalist theme without hacking the code and using a gazillion plugins and something that was SEO-friendly and neat. I followed the advice and inspiration of Justin Levy of primecutsblog.com, Writer Dad Sean Platt, and Phoenix Real Estate Guy Jay Thompson, all of whose blogs previously used Thesis.
Granted, I don't have Chris Pearson or other developers help me. My blog is a product of my sweat and tears, and every visitor, reader, and commenter has mentioned they enjoy the clean and bold feel of the blog and how my personality shines through. Thesis makes my personality all the more crisper.
If you run across any questions, Chris, let me know.

Hi Chris
This post is very timely. I registered 2 new domains names recently and I want to create them using Wordpress. I've been searching around for a couple of eye-catching Wordpress optimised themes.
The Wordpress themes on these sites look really impressive. I now have another choice...THESIS! - these look great too!
Also, Jeff Johnson from www.undergroundtraininglab.com sent me an email last week inviting me to download a free SEO Wordpress theme that he's created. It never expires, I can use it on as many sites as I like and it's mine to keep. Apparently it's a search engine magnet.
I've got some serious thinking to do.
Have a Great Day and Thank You for always providing great information.

Love it! We've been dressing in Thesis, too, since early September. I customized our header, dropped the stock rotating images, and made our blog title "live" using the help of the forums and the tutorials, all in a day. Without. One. Bit. Of. Experience. Ever!
Looking at your rss and other icons up top makes me want to do more! I love the font you've selected and the background color in the sidebars adds just the right touch with your background - very handsome!

Anyways, long story short.. this inspires me so I will go ahead with it :) and looking forward to it.. I may need some help with customizing etc.. but I'll figure it out somehow ~ so thx Chris. (p.s. how else am I going to get on ur rockstar list LOL) - it will be exciting to start one beginning of '09. So thanks! Best always, Susan KN

P.S. I'd be MOST interested in learning how you added a "top" sidebar above your two right sidebars, and a "bottom" sidebar at the very foot. Tips?
