This blog is built on Wordpress, using Chris Pearson’s Thesis theme. I paid something like $65 for Thesis and I think it was well worth it. And I’m the kind of guy who believes the best price is $Free. Check out the Thesis Gallery Showcase while you’re at it.
I get a lot of traffic from Chris’s site, so I figure he deserves a plug in return. Caveat: You’ll pay about $20 more than I did if you decide to buy Thesis. I got an early-bird special.
One of the nice things about the Thesis theme, and Wordpress in general, is that it’s search-engine friendly right out of the box. In fact, with the latest version of Thesis, I was able to deactivate my SEO plug-ins.
If your Wordpress site could use some SEO tweaking, this piece I came across at Custom Wordpress has a list of 10 tips for tweaking your SEO options under Wordpress.
I’ll run down the tips here, but for more explanation read Kim Beasley’s post at Custom Wordpress:

- Optimize your permalinks
- Optimize your images
- Optimize links
- Add no index to archives
- Remove all unnecessary links
