Today I installed my first ever WordPress Premium Theme. I’ve won this StudioPress theme from ThemeGrade WP contest last month and finally I got time to install and customize it a little bit. This is totally different from my previous free theme, Atahualpa which is one of the best free WP themes you can have by the way.
As you can see, it’s still a little rough and I still need to check out the other features but I’m already liking the new look of my blog. I haven’t touch the built in SEO settings yet so I’m not sure if I need to install All-in-One SEO plug in or not. There’s so much to do and I think I need some help at StudioPress support forum for tweaks.
I need your opinion on what I need to add or do to maximize this theme. I am not sure if I can change the background color or the size of the sidebar but I’m all ears so please add your comment or 2 cents at the comment box below.
so clean and beautiful!!! I love premium wordpress themes!
I really like the new theme as well. Very clean, easy to navigate and I really like the light blue color.

I’d really want to have my own professional theme but I think the chances of me actually winning one is quite slim. That is why I might just buy my own customized pack when I get the chance. I so like the color combination
I’ve been thinking about switching over but I’m worried about my old post images. The theme I’m currently using has a wide (750px) post are and some of my images are that wide. Is there an option to have Thesis resize your old images so the posts don’t look all screwed up? Or do you know of a plug in that will do that for you?
Premium themes are always (well most of the time) better than the free ones
I’ve been using 2 premium themes and they stayed for years on my blog

Looks very slick, ZXT. Good luck with the blog!
wordpress has got a nice collection of themes. This one’z really cool. Clean and innovative. Color is also nice….
Why not maximize it using Scribe SEO. I used it with WordPress 3.0.1 and it works great! I believe they offer a free trial on their website.
