It's only as techy as you want it to be. It installs like any other theme, and then you can tweek it a little at a time. You don't have to touch the geeky hooks at all if you don't want to.

1. Yes.
2. Yes, it runs on WordPress, and WP runs and interacts with a mySQL database.
3. No, it is not .net—.net is a MSFT technology that is considered something of a joke in the "modern" web development world. Both Thesis and WordPress are written in simple, efficient, and (basically) universally accessible PHP.

If it's not uncool to toot my own horn, I also build WordPress/Thesis sites, including my own. Very reasonable rates, references. Will reply w/ client site list, URLs, etc. to anyone who's interested. Normally I wouldn't be this crass, but we all have to make a living, right?

If it IS uncool, just delete this. :-) You have a great site and I don't want to walk all over the comments with my muddy boots.

Hey Chris,
I am trying to talk my client into using the Thesis Theme (We are currently using Presstopia--not my favorite) for their Blog. The CTO said he had a few questions and I was hoping you could help answer them.

1. Does the Thesis theme support Java Script
2. Does it have a Sequel Back End--I dont know what that means...hopefully you do : )
3. Is it .net

Thanks so much for the help, hope you are enjoying your vacation

-Sean

I'd just like to add that Thesis has an excellent user forum where you can get quick answers to all kinds of Thesis (and Wordpress) related questions. The active users of that community have bailed me out of all kinds of trouble. Check out: http://diythemes.com/forums

hey Chris,

I always enjoy your posts and information. But I think Thesis is over my head. I've heard its got a steep learning curve and I'm not so techy. Crap, I had trouble just getting Wordpress installed :-(

Anyway, I appreciate your stuff.

Best regards to ya!

So incredibly useful, thank you. I just tweeted today asking how to get the two up and running as I was having some problems. Talk about good timing!
