Site

Hi All,

It seems that some of the RSS feeds are not working correctly.   Namely, the feed for "Martenson Insider" has nothing since Dec 2009 in it, and "Martenson Reports" contains no items.  Yet I can see the new content on the website.

I use RSS extensively, so I'm wondering if you guys are aware that these are broken and whether you have plans to fix them?

Thx,

Chris

Important announcement!

I am excited to announce that very shortly you can expect to see some improvements that will significantly change the look and feel and then functionality of ChrisMartenson.com. The site will be offline late tonight and into the early morning of Monday April 20th as we make the switch.

This will be coming in phases and the first phase involves significant modifies how the site looks and feels.

Here are some highlights of the redesign:  read more »

IMPORTANT UPDATE (3/6/09 6:13 a.m.):  Several people have inquired if their credit card information was at risk during this hacking event.  The answer is no.  We do not (ever) store any credit card information at this site.  We use a gateway service for credit card transactions and do so specifically so that we do not have to worry about storing and defending such important information. 

Well, we were hacked.  Somehow someone got access to our files and went about trying to destroy the site.

The good news is that some in the IT community would call this a sign of progress.  We have arrived!  Even better, we noticed this very rapidly and caught it early, thereby limiting the damage.  Ron did a spectacular job of detection and repair.

The bad news is the site was out for four hours and we spent time, money, and energy doing something that, frankly, wasn't on any of our priority lists over here.

So, sorry for the outage; we've taken steps to patch the probable hole and we'll carry on from here.

Best,
Chris

This is a quick update to let you know that I have not stepped entirely off the face of the planet. There are several things in the works that you should know about.

The Rowe Conference begins tomorrow (Friday) and I look forward to meeting quite a few of you there. I am very excited at the chance to meet this particular crowd. Being a near-compulsive planner/organizer, I have dedicated quite a lot of time preparing for the conference, as has Becca, who will be leading all the parts on beliefs.

The DVD pricing has been changed. The original, introductory price of roughly $1/disc covered the direct costs of production only, and that’s about it. Fortunately, around that time we had some generous donations come in that subsidized the distribution of those discs. But now that more than 20,000 DVDs have gone out the door at that low, low price, I have raised the prices to help raise some funds. Some have already expressed dissatisfaction at these new prices, but I would like to remind everyone that paying $10 or less for an item that can change your world view is, well, a pretty good deal.

Here are the new prices:  read more »
