Approximately six weeks ago I went ahead and bought Thesis. I posted about my first impressions here. Today, I finally went ahead and installed Thesis on this blog as well, so seems like a good time for adding my “second” impressions. First, since I’m already a Shareasale affiliate, I went ahead and signed up as [...]
Keeping a blog fresh with regular posts can be a challenge. At some point or another, we all feel we have simply run out of stuff to write about.
