Coming soon I'll also be featuring resources for both new and experienced bloggers in an attempt to help you promote your blog and/or take it to the next level. I'll also be featuring resources for better monetizing blogs as well as tutorials for customizing Thesis, my preferred WordPress blogging theme.

For now, I invite you to subscribe to the feed.

Sugarrae runs on the Thesis WordPress Theme

Thesis WordPress theme

If you’re a blogger looking for a professional presence but don’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality that you wouldn’t be able to obtain otherwise with a simple control panel. With the incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks, you can easily make your blog stand out from the crowd.

Thesis allows bloggers to make more professional customizations than they may have ever deemed possible due to lack of coding knowledge. The theme allows me to run Sugarrae more professionally, with a focus on monetization that is more targeted than I’ve ever been able to achieve with a theme before.
