I’m a fan of Thesis theme. I have a handful of blogs running on Thesis theme. The beauty of Thesis is that it is a framework and not just a theme. So you can make unlimited number of unique looking blogs using Thesis.
Now Thesis theme is not just about the looks. It is more than that! There are loads of SEO features that help you optimize your blog efficiently for search engines. Read my full review of Thesis theme to learn how to optimize your blog for search engines using Thesis theme.
Since Thesis is a framework and you can make it look the way you want, you can either go for custom designing or ready-made Thesis Skins.
I personally love the Thesis Skins by Thesisawesome. The latest addition to their skin gallery is a kick-ass skin called Avenger. You can see it in action right here on this blog.
Why Avenger?
Clean
The first thing I love about this skin is that it so clean. There is no clutter, whatsoever, with the look of your blog when you install Avenger. In my opinion, clean is professional.
Gear up list building
If you’re struggling to build your list, this skin lifts the weight off your shoulders. The skin offers very cool header, sidebar and footer optin forms, which are not only eye-catching but also at the optimal positions.
Don’t like the default color of the forms? Or is the form color not matching with the general colors of your blog? No problem! You can change the color of the forms; you can even insert background images (you can choose to either repeat or not repeat them).
Take a look yourself.
Custom Widgets and ads
With one click you can insert custom widgets in places shown below. Once you’ve inserted the widgets, you can simply go to Widget settings to input Adsense code, custom ad code or whatever you want to put in there.
Cool Author box
If your blog allows for guest posts, Avenger skin helps you to reward your authors with a nice Author box. When enabled, this option adds social profile fields on author profiles.
When those fields are filled out, the author box becomes a rich one, really :).

Hi Jane, the Avenger skin by Thesis Awesome really looks quite awesome and I have been thinking to buy it. I already own two other skins from Thesis Awesome. Glad to see you using the Avenger skin, the blog is looking awesome
Shiva, the skin gives a great look (as you can see) plus saved me a lot of time 🙂
I have often thought about swapping over to thesis but wonder if the capabilities are just more than what I need
Natalie 🙂 Well, sometimes it could be the case! I’m not sure lol.
I was thinking about migrating to wordpress.. and was looking for a good theme.. Thesis for Avanger skin will be a good option… thanks
Yup it is a great skin Pankaj. Hope your migration goes well!
Hello, Jane! Thanks for sharing this review. I like that Avenger lets us customize widgets and ads easily. I hate spending lots of time with this kind of settings.
Sure, you’re not alone Fernando 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Great thesis! I like how you manage to have a color that is pretty appealing, but wouldn’t hurt your visitor’s eyes. It is really a great affordable thesis skin for everybody!
Yup Tim, its very affordable given the time I would spend otherwise on the design!
The theme looks awesome. Even you’re using the same. It is very clean theme.
Yes Jack, its a great skin, that’s why I’m using it 🙂
hi…, my brother give me this skin last week ago. and i tray to my another blog, its very awesome skin. its looks so frendly and easy to used for navigate our blog. awesome skin.
I do agree that whenever you are planning to have your own blog it is best to have a clean and attractive skin and if Avenger can give it, it is really necessary to get and grab the opportunity. Thanks for this review and for sure you give another idea to newbies in the world of blogging what are the ways on how to have an attractive blogs.
Yeah its really superb theme. I saw most of Blogger mainly which have Blogging Niche they are using this.
I will use same on my new Blog which is going to mainly for Blogging Niche.
I just love this because of Professional Looks
Thanks for the awesome review! I think I will try it out as I have several blogs currently under development and I need some really good themes to “clothe” my blogs with. The theme looks relatively clean and I think $30 is quite affordable if you are after something which is nice and very professional looking. I am however a WordPress theme freak and suffer from “theme fatigue” which is why sometimes am wary about coughing out some cash for WordPress themes.
