I Need Theme Help | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Does anyone have a suggestion on a good wordpress theme for a stock investment blog? I hear Headway is good but I would love to hear some other's thoughts. Thanks.

I use Thesis for everything. Here is my link for Thesis. It takes a little time up front to learn, but it is incredibly powerful and great once you get used to it. I have a developer license so I can use it on all of my sites.

Do you have to pay annually for that license? 

I use Thesis as well.

According to their site they may have Thesis 2.0 coming in August where the price will be going up for new users.  I've also heard people liking Genesis as well.

Best thing to do – take a look around and find some sites you like and find out what they use.

I too am looking for a new theme, and decided that learning Thesis and Genesis is not in my long term plan.

Headway was suggested by Corey to me, and it looks like a solid option. 

I also found something called UDesign at ThemeForest that I'm strongly considering buying, because like Headway, it seems to be highly customizable. (Not an affiliate link)

I too use Thesis for my blog, as well as 8 niche sites (the rest of my sites are still on traditional static HTML pages).

It all depends on your objective. Thesis is best for SEO and user interface in my opinion. Optimize press is best for capture/landing pages if that's what you are going for.

If you are still on the fence and would like like to read how Thesis works from an SEO perspective and why it's beneficial, you can check out a recent blog post I did on how Thesis has helped my blog's SEO get to where it is today.

30%+ of my traffic comes from search engines.

Thanks guys. I think I am going with Thesis because I love there SEO stuff. I actually found out that I can create a child theme and develop the site for my needs. Although the website is based on photography it's not going to be loaded with images.
