If you are following this blog, you know that I am using Thesis Theme on this blog from the start. Having a Thesis makes it easy to tweak design, make changes and it can reduce the loading speed.
The only drawback with the Thesis is that you need to alter Thesis to look like you want. It does require some initial modification and changes to set it up correctly for your blog. One way is to do changes by yourself or you can get Thesis Skin to make it easy for you.
I have changed this blog to Thesis Avenger Skin two months back and I am really happy with the performance of it. It really makes it easy to setup a blog and make it look professional.
Avenger is Thesis Skin from ThesisAwesome, which already integrate many function and makes easy to setup your thesis blog. It covers aspect of Guest Blogging, Targeted Ads, related posts and email subscriptions.

Your Blog look really nice, do you have any idea about Blog Skin Thesis Skin from thesis awesome.
I have used Blog skin on one of my other blog and it also has almost same features along with social options. Main difference will be looks and you can decide which one you like…
That’s a good theme but it’s not free. Hope i’ll run my blog on Thesis or Genesis Framework asap. Currently i’m collecting money for it and working on my blog.
BTW thanks for the share!
Its a worth of the investment, I always avoid using free theme because I have to spend lot of time to correct them and make it look what I want without any support…so this is one thing which I always sort out first….
Yes, you are right but newbie bloggers like me who don’t have enough budget to buy themes and other effective plugins etc have to manage with free themes and plugins.
But i’ll surely get a one soon. 😉
Ohh Ya, I agree, I have also used the free themes for initial few months on Makewebworld. Once I had the money, I invested and got this one…
At first I thought this had some referance to the Avengers movie too! Having the fields like social media sounds like a resolution to organizatoinal problems.I like the clean look.
I actually thought that the Avengers theme pertains to the movie! Anyways the design is great and I assure you that it has a great loading speed. I didn’t even have to wait for more than ten seconds for it to load which frequently happen to me on other blogs. Great post!
Thesis is really good for improving the loading speed…Avenger is really utilizing it well and does not add any bulk to it..
Unfortunately, i am not a Thesis theme user. but will sure consider Avenger skin if i shifted to Thesis.
With Thesis you do need a skin or you need to spend some time in coding….Which theme are you using right now?
Avenger Thsesis skin is really nice and I love the simplicity of the design. This nis really good for bloggers. Thanks a lot for sharing this.
Absolutely its really good one for multi-author blogs..
Thanks for letting us know about the Avenger thesis theme, Sanjeev! And it is a cool name, Avenger, it sounds kick-butt. By the by, it is a theme I would definitely consider if and when I tweak mine.
Thanks Reese, I love the features coming with it and it does provide lot of flexibility to webmasters..
Yes, you are right about Avenger Thesis Skin. It is good theme for blogger to make impressive design and attract more blog readers. Avenger skin theme looks professional which makes it capable for business blogging. There are many other features available into this theme which helps for perfect management of blog.
Yes Brian, impressive design plays a vital role in the success of a blog along with quality content…Avenger covers that important part really well…
I have the Genesis pro pack. Lots of themes but not all as feature-packed as this one. After reading this post, I’m jealous. The Avenger theme really has you covered, Sanjeev. Genesis needs to catch up, or I might have to switch to Thesis. Heh.
I also have Genesis and using it for some other sites, I think some of the market themes are good but they are more of a design stuff and does not add many features….with Thesis it’s different..
You’ve cited great points there. What I actually like most is the targeted ads. There are times that we are not getting the right ads for our website so we find it very hard to convert. Fortunate for others, they were able to find ways to get the right ads that they wanted for their own website. I’ll check your linked post to learn more.
Targeted Ads are really important as they can increase CTR..Avenger takes care of it other wise we need to add some code in the file (Code is their in my linked post).
Yup! The code is helpful to others. Actually I’ve visited your link and will try to use it to get targeted ads. I wonder if you could recommend the best positioning for those ads?
I get most of my hits at top and bottom of the content, still doing some experiments but those are my preferred positions for ads…
You know, I’ve been using WordPress for a couple years now, and STILL never gotten on the Thesis bandwagon. But your site, this theme, is very nice. Especially with all the little integrations, the DiggDigg type floating bar on the left, the awesome social media share widget in the upper right. CommentLuv enabled. Pretty squared away site, and you do make me want to start something using Thesis and Avenger now, LOL.
If I wasn’t doing a cam and chat site at NE1UP.com right now I’d start something. Hmm – maybe I’ll use it for the blog section of the site or something.
Anyway, beautiful site! Cool theme!
I have used few plugins along with Avenger to achieve the looks, but they all have blend well..It is a good skin and works really well with Thesis…
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.
