You might know that it’s not, but don’t know where to start when it comes to a redesign.

This week, we have lots of pragmatic advice for you on how to be a happier, more productive person.
Because you’re good enough, you’re smart enough, and gosh darn it, this joke has now been permanently rendered un-funny.
On Monday, Morgan Dix (he happens to be one of our Certified Content Marketers) revealed what meditation can do for your creativity and focus. I’ve been a meditator for many years, and I really enjoyed this post — I think you will, too.
On Tuesday, our VP of Operations, Kim Clark, shared some of her favorite tips for getting more out of working from home. Because some days are great … and some days you really wish you had found those 10 minutes to take a shower.
On Wednesday, I wrote about confidence and the ongoing work of reinventing ourselves. The key to gaining more confidence isn’t some kind of self-help affirmation — it’s something much more fundamental. It all comes down to Moscow, Napoleon Dynamite, and disturbances in the Force — and a fairly simple mindset shift that could actually change your life.

Editor’s note 11/28/17: Our Black Friday sale ended on November 28, 2017 at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
It’s Thanksgiving week in the U.S.!
My creative output this week will be mainly culinary — I’ve got three kinds of pie to bake tomorrow, plus all of the other fun things we’ll have on the table. So this week is a short one for you.
On Monday, the editorial team got together to talk about a problem we all face sometimes — what to do when you’re totally out of writing ideas. We’ve got eight writers weighing in with their favorite tips, tricks, and strategies for refilling that creative well.
On Tuesday, Brian Gardner officially announced our “Black Friday” (“Really Dark Gray Tuesday?”) sale on our StudioPress premium WordPress themes. If your WordPress site could use a little makeover, this is a great time to pick up a shiny new theme — or you could use your discount to get all the StudioPress themes by picking up a Pro Plus Pack.

Someone must have slipped the team some hot sauce, because it seems we’re all feeling a little spicy. This week features strong points of view and plain-spoken advice.
Ever feel a little shy telling people you’re a marketer? Do you worry that what you do seems sleazy to some? While marketers aren’t quite at “politician” level of public loathing, a lot of folks misunderstand what ethical marketing is about.
On Monday, Stefanie Flaxman shared five examples of marketing that’s helpful, not creepy or sleazy.
On Tuesday, Brian Gardner gave us a preview of our annual great-big festival of savings — in other words, our Black Friday promotion for StudioPress. You won’t even have to wait until U.S. Thanksgiving (or be in the U.S., for that matter) to get your discount.
And on Wednesday, I highlighted a trend I’m seeing in the web’s most powerful content writers. It’s a potent combination that you can introduce into your own content, whether you’re promoting your own business, doing client work, or creating content as part of a marketing team.
