I haven’t been able to write posts these last couple of days for a simple reason. It is Party time!!!! yeah!!! lool

IT is my senior year at college, and we need to gather funds to the finalists trip later this year. And, being the first week of school for us, we have some spare time, there is no need to study, yet… and we want to have fun while we can! So this week it has been crazy. Almost no time at all. Class from 8am to 6pm. And College party from 9pm to…. who nows? lol

Hey, my advice to you. Enjoy while you can.You will never know when you will be able to party like this again!

Now, i need to take a bath and have some sleep… i have to get up in 6 hours to attend college…. Sleepy sleepy….

Lately i have seen lots of new social bookmarking sites. The reason is that there are several free scripts that allow us, fast, free and easily to create a social bookmarking driven site.

One of those scripts, is Pligg. It is a free CMS (content management system), it is open source and powered by a php/mysql.

This script, besides allowing the webmaster to manage a digg like site, joins the power of CMS.

The script is at version 9.9 beta, meaning that the community is active and constantly releasing new features, mods, templates.

Unfortunately, there are many social bookmark sites around these days. Competition is some what high, but there is still space available… And some money to be made ;)

One of the most usefull wordpress plugin i have ever found was the One Click Installer.

With this plugin, you can simply install wordpress themes and plugins at the distance of a few clicks. There is no need to login to your ftp account to upload the files. This plugin does the job for you.

You can choose to install the wanted  script from your computer or directly from the place where the plugin is hosted.

This script even has a mozilla plugin!

I really recommend this script. It made my life easier, and now i update my plugins in seconds!

Check the plugin page to download it

Domain tasting, is a practice that many “domainers” use to check if a domain is profitable or not. Domain tasting gives the buyer a grace period of 5 days. If that period hasn’t ended, then we can ask for a refund and the domain is deleted.

This practice was originally intended to protect buyers from misspelling domain registrations, but it has been used to check if a domain has traffic in order to park it and earn revenue from that.

But it seems, that Domain tasting days are ending.

ICANN, following it’s meeting on 23 January, announced that will change the policy of domain registration.

ICANN deliberated that their fee of 20 cents per domain-year are now nonrefundable.

Here is a short excerpt from the meeting:

Whereas, the Board believes that the withdrawal of ICANN’s waiver of ICANN’s
non-refundable transaction fee to the deletion of names within the AGP will
substantially end the practice of abusing the AGP;

THEREFORE, the Board resolves (2008.01.04) to encourage ICANN’s budgetary process to
include fees for all domains added, including domains added during the AGP,
and encourages community discussion involved in developing the ICANN budget,
subject to both Board approval and registrar approval of this fee.

A voice vote was taken of all Board Members present and the motion was approved by a vote of 13-0. Bruce Tonkin abstained from voting on this item.

This measure can take down the domain tasting. Dynadot is still offering the 5 day grace period.
