A few days back while I was customizing Thesis, I realized that I don’t want text wrapped up around the thumbnails. It doesn’t look good and symmetrical when text gets wrapped up around thumbnails. I started looking for the solution, search through forums, asked the support team.

A featured post slideshow is many times a good way to show your latest posts or posts from your favorite category. I always wished to add a featured slideshow to Thesis theme and searched for a number of tutorials. But most of them used bulky gallery plugins which was not my choice.

First of all let me tell you that Thesis 1.8 beta1 is available for download now. But, this is “beta” mind it..!! Though Thesis is a very stable framework yet no one can guarantee a beta version. Betas are always meant for test purpose. Not, even DIYThemes can guarantee you about the stability of the latest beta version.
