Twitter has proven to be an amazing place for getting Thesis related news, and updates on blogs that use Thesis. I have found a lot of great information by searching with the #thesiwp hash tag, and have figured out who the Thesis pros are on Twitter.
So, with Week 3 of Thesis Thursday here, I present to you 10 of the smartest Thesis users I know of on Twitter. Not all of these people will always tweet about Thesis, but they all have contributed greatly to the Thesis WordPress theme in their own ways.
1. @pearsonified
The genius behind Thesis (hey, I made a rhyme), Chris Pearson is the dude who posts all of the hottest Thesis related news on his Twitter account. Pretty much anything he says on Twitter with that #thesiswp hash tag gets retweeted like 1,000 times, so if there’s a breakthrough somewhere in Thesis, you’ll be damn sure to hear it from him.
2. @KingdomGeek
If you head over to the Thesis Support forums, you will notice one guy who stands out from the rest — and that is Rick Beckman. He probably supports the most people then anyone else at the Support forums, and to top it all off — he created the kick ass Thesis OpenHook plugin which allows you to make any edit you want to your theme without even leaving your Admin Panel.
3. @kristarella
At her blog Kristarella, she uses Thesis in a way not many people have before, and that’s by using the one column look. She does it very well, and it looks great. She has some outstandingly awesome tutorials on her blog that I use every time I code a Thesis theme, and is just insanely useful. She posts tips on Twitter, and retweets useful Thesis information.
4. @doublemule
Only tweets a little, but Double Mule is a great blog with a lot of great Thesis stuff on it. But, their blog is something not to be missed by any Thesis user. They have a great, huge SEO tutorial, a list of who they consider to be “Thesis Pros,” and a lot more informative posts about Thesis at their blog.
5. @jamievaron
Jamie Varon has created some excellent Thesis designs before, and has a great Thesis theme related service in the works. She is definitely talented at what she does with her Thesis themes, and I (and many others I’m sure) can’t wait to see what she has to come up with next.
6. @sugarrae
Rae Hoffman’s blog was probably the first customized Thesis I have ever seen. She has a really nice looking customization, and the greatest part about it is that she posts a ton of tutorials on how to pimp out a version of Thesis. She tweets about Internet Marketing and has conversations with her followers a lot, but she does throw out some Thesis stuff here and there.
7. @HowToMakeMyBlog
Marko Saric has been such an inspiration for me. I found his blog, HowToMakeMyBlog, and I knew two things. One, I wanted to get into the “Blogging about blog” niche, and two — I wanted Thesis. Marko writes some great Thesis tutorials on his blog, and whenever he launches one off, it becomes a huge hit.
8. @thesishacker
The blog Thesis Hacker was probably the first Thesis tips blog I read. It helped me so much, and I recommend any new Thesis user who is lost to read this blog for some basic, but handy tutorials. Although this Twitter account is small, it’s used as a feed to post the latest tutorials from the Thesis Hacker blog, which can surely help you out if you ever need a quick tip or two.
His customizations are used on many Thesis blogs, making him a strong influence in the Thesis design community. Definitely a great guy to follow on Twitter for some extra links to useful articles.
9. @jermainemaree
One of the “WPBandits,” and also a Double Mule Certified Thesis Designer, Jermaine knows how to code some pretty sweet looking Thesis themes. He doesn’t work alone at WPBandit, his partner Alex Agnarson does some amazing stuff. I love this quote from the Double Mule article, it shows how great their WPBandit service is:
Alex and Jermaine focus on quality, limiting the number of clients worked with to ensure that each customer receives an amazing website. Alex loves to create designs that make Jermaine say, “how am I suppose to code this?” — which typically results in a site that exceeds the client’s expectations and makes other Thesis developers say… how did they code that?
10. @mitchcooper
Mitch Cooper has done some truly kick ass Thesis design work. He is the guy behind the DIYNinjas and has designed some of the best Thesis sites around.
So there we have it. The third Thesis Thursday (a little late). 10 great Thesis geniuses on Twitter. Hope you enjoyed it, and hope you stick around for some more posts.

Great list! I’m glad I follow most of them, maybe it will rub off
GO JAMIE! Love ya!
Heh, I know it has for me. :p
I really like the rounded corners you do on your media boxes. Care to explain how you did them?
Max
That sounds like a good topic for next week.
Awesome list there Alex. I’ve started following a few of them
Just what I needed. Just purchased the theme and have started to delve into it’s potential.
I know how I want my layout to be, just need to figure out how to use the hooks to get there (hopefully I can).…
Congrats on buying the theme. It rocks, doesn’t it?
It may take a little at first to totally wrap your head around the Hooks, but once you get it, you will never look back.
Thank you for this post! I’m following and reading all of them now .. . and you!
Thanks for including me in the list with the big Thesis pros Alex… I am glad my blog inspired you and I appreciate your support!
Thanks for stopping by Marko, you deserve the spot up there.
Hey Alex, nice list. It’s great to see the Thesis community growing.
I do have a small correction for you. The FuseBox Theatre site is actually my work. Mitch Cooper and I work together on DIYninjas.com. Mitch has lots of great sites to his credit, including:
http://harcourtsluxury.co.nz/ and
http://australs2010.com/
as well as http://www.diyninjas.com itself.
Some of my Thesis work includes:
http://www.fuseboxtheatre.com
http://www.curiousbusiness.com
http://www.tiplet.com
and just recently launched:
http://www.wellingtonradiologygroup.com
http://www.jcdfitness.com
I would appreciate a correction in the article, if you don’t mind. I’d like for Mitch to get credit for his sites, of course. But FuseBoxTheatre is sort of my flagship piece, so I’d like to get credit for that.
My twitter is @john_sexton, in case anyone would like to follow my updates as well.
Thanks!
Ah, sorry John. I didn’t know you worked at DIYNinjas with him, I just thought that was all Mitch.
Yeah, I’ll definitely fix that up for you because that’s a huge mistake on my part. You shouldn’t miss out on any of the recognition you get with a theme like that. Again, sorry!
Thanks, Alex. I appreciate it!
Great post! I’ll subscribe right now wth my feedreader software!
