Today, a community can be formed around just about anything: a good-cause charity, an Internet meme, and even a WordPress Theme (hey that rhymes). Thesis is one of the best-supported WordPress themes I've seen yet, and that includes a thriving forums that shares tips & tricks — I'd link but it's limited to Thesis owners. The forums are also useful for when unexpected errors occur upon upgrading (which I ran into with the 1.5 beta).
In addition, there's the Thesis Theme User's Guide, a must-read if you're even slightly curious about changing your theme to Thesis, because it explains a lot of the benefits in a clear and concise way. Beyond basic blog mechanics, it gets into optimizing how you present your content, and my fave section has got to be "Publish Like a Pro with These Styling Tips".
Apparently, I can make notes like this!
And if I so desire, let's boost it up a peak with an alert… like this!
All it takes is a few class characters, and is simple to do for new bloggers. CSS classes aren't hard to setup but most themes lack easy starting points like this. And you know what I have to say about that.
Even better, if you use Windows Live Writer and have it slurp your Thesis theme, you'll see these styles in your near-WYSIWG edit mode, which makes your draft all that closer to visualizing the finished post.

You probably saw this, but since it states in the TOS "…and everything watermelony shall be passed along to Torley" I am linking to it here: http://jpgmag.com/photos/1048014
