A Big Thank You To The Thesis Folks!
The Thesis community has been great to me, so I thought it was time to pay it forward a little by collecting a few MindTweaks posts that might be of special interest to Thesis users and bloggers in general.
And another big thank you to everyone who has showcased the MindTweaks design over the past year - CatsWhoCode, WP-Premiums, and the DIYThemes Showcase itself (I’m sure I’ve missed someone, darn this memory like a steel colander!) With the added flexibility of the Thesis Dashboard that’s available now, there are so many more incredible site designs out there - Still, I think it’s important to demonstrate just how good the core design is, and what can be done without radical changes to the core design. (Plus I really appreciate the attention!)
Now, on with those links!

Uh oh!
Tori is serious about trying to get me into some cranial exercises!
Most exercise I get to do these days is a very sexy furrowing of my brow. Yes folks, furrowing one’s brow should be akin to smiling. Alright, so I can’t tell you how many muscles it takes to create a sexy furrowed brow (more furrows the better), but I can force a headache from a really strenuous furrow. And that takes a lot of practice which equates to a good few calories falling away and keeping the brain ticking over.
The list of exercises does look interesting. Compelling even. I think I’ll knuckle down and get to doing some serious brain stuff on the Brain Rules 4 Bloggers Series. I need it. Oh my, my, my how I need this.
Lately I just suck at blogging. I get as much ‘thrill factor’ into my writing as you do if you kept trying to eat mashed up chalk without Paul Newman’s Own dribbled over it.
Well the, here goes.
*sigh*
PS: I think a sloth has more enthusiasm than I do. Ever seen a sloth in fast retreat? A sight to behold and behold and behold …aaah it moved an eyeball…..
Dear Robert, I do admit to a bit of surprise at discovering you have an inner sloth (as opposed to the sometimes site mascot of the inner donkey) but fret not… a sloth with an enthusiastically furrowed brow can be forgiven its slowness from time to time. After all, it takes a lot of energy to do all that furrowing. I’m sure it’s quite exhausting.
Still we must find a way to motivate you… to “engage” you even. If the BrainRules don’t get you going, we shall have to take more drastic measures. (Do they make cattle prods for sloths?)

Nope. I would think there are SlothProds somewhere!
