New server for MasonWorld.com

by Mark Mason on March 22, 2011

servint vps serverI am moving MasonWorld.com today to a dedicated VPS server (none of my other sites will be on this new server) to improve performance.  You may see some down-time today as DNS propagates.

I am also switching my theme to the Thesis framework, so look out for falling objects.  Let me know as you find things that are broken.  I use ServInt.net for hosting, and never have any issues that they can't solve, so I am not expecting any problems.

The Thesis framework is a premium theme and is very popular among the WordPress community. Thesis gives you more control over your blog, while at the same time, freeing you from digging through lines and lines of code just to fix one little thing.

It is set up to improve your site's search engine optimization and provide faster page loads. It offers point-and-click design, font controls, and you have access to awesome support staff as well as a members-only forum.

And then, there's this - my favorite testimonial from DIYthemes.com:

“If God had a WordPress theme, he’d use Thesis.”

Matt Langford on Twitter

That's classic! I'm going to try it out for a while and I'll be letting you know about my experiences with it. If you'd like to try it out, too, you can get it right here through my affiliate link: DIYthemes - Thesis Theme Framework

Motivational Tip #22 – Enjoy Your Life

by Mark Mason on September 20, 2010

Articles On Motivation Graphic

This shouldn’t need to be said, but often it does: if you don’t enjoy what you do on a regular basis, then you’re going to have a very difficult time achieving your goals. The reason for this should be obvious: even if you “know” you should be working towards your goals, the pain and discomfort associated with them will push you too far in the opposite direction.

This is why it is important to make sure that you enjoy your life, even as you work towards very difficult goals. You can start by revising your current approach to accomplishing your goals, so that they become more enjoyable.

For instance, let’s say your goal is weight loss; and let’s also say that you find it painful and embarrassing to go to the gym. Well, instead of doing this, consider taking long walks in the evening. This could do the job of helping you lose weight, but without requiring you to be severely uncomfortable.
