Nick,

Thanks for the info. I’ve been sitting on the fence for awhile now regarding investing in Thesis, but I think you’ve now made up my mind for me. With the money back guarantee, it seems I have nothing to lose and everything to gain :-)

Very nice program, I like better than SEO.

Thank you for that added insight. For casual or novice bloggers, the difference between the two options is not made obvious.

I don’t quite understand why you would even want to put this theme on a wordpress.com blog, from what I understand about that blogging venue is that you do not have as much control over your site as a self hosted blog and is they if they feel that your linking or is inappropriate, they can shut you down without notice and all your content is gone forever.

I think they do not like internet marketers that link out using their affiliate links.

Not a place where I would want to set up business.

Sorry, but I will stay with my self hosted site that I have full control over.

Paul, you would need an exact response from someone at DIYThemes, but from my conversations with Chris, I understand it that every site you don’t personally own or have a business/client relationship you will need a developers license. So if you wanted to work with clients to set up a Wordpress blog using Thesis you would need a client site license for each one. As far as if you charge your client’s more than the $40 that is up to you. Hopefully this makes it clearer.

Hi Nick
We want to be able to offer our clients a wordpress blog of their own, using the Thesis theme. It sounds like we can do this, but what are the rules concerning use of developer edition Thesis?
The Thesis reg page says “A single Client Site Option is $40, but you can also purchase 5 and 10-site Client Options for $36/site and $32/site, respectively”
But I’ve also seen mention that there is no re-seeling ‘allowed – what do you mean by re-selling exactly – I presume you mean that you can’t just download a copy and then flog it to someone else.

Your clarification appreciated.
cheers
Paul Stephenson

Thesis can only be used on Wordpress.org sites. In other words you must have a self-hosted blog.

Do I need to pay something extra directly at Wordpress or I get to upload Thesis on my “free hosted blog”??

Thanks! :)
