Domain name scammers - website owners beware

If you have a registered domain name, it is likely that at some time you will receive a notice from a self described "major domain name registrar" company from the other side of the globe. The pitch is always the same, a fictitious client is about to register all domain names with all available... Sign in to see full entry.

Script testers needed (it will take only a minute of your time)

I'm working on a little project for a web client where I am modifying an existing password protection script to give them a few rudimentary features they are looking for. Now that I have gotten to a working version installed on my test server, I need other people to attempt to log in to my simple... Sign in to see full entry.

Ecommerce store anyone?

A few days ago I received an email from a company that has been working on a project with an almost identical scope as my Gomers Template project for osCommerce. I don't remember when or how we had crossed paths but they were offering me one free copy of their completed project. After downloading it... Sign in to see full entry.

Last call for a blog template

At one time I had a dream of creating a template library for Blogit but unfortunately my idea was derailed by a change in site format back in the summer of 2006. Today, the only people that can use my Blogit blog templates are longtimers on certain types of old membership plans. So now it is time to...

Cleaning out the last of the blog templates

Once Blogit changed to a new format in late summer of 2006, this day was inevitable. Up until that point I had developed a number of different blog templates and had learned all of the little foibles of this unique blogging platform. But as the people still on the old format become fewer with each... Sign in to see full entry.

Blog templates for anyone that wants one

Unfortunately I do not have a blog template for anyone who opened their Blogit account later than since the summer of 2006. For persons with Blogit accounts using the old format, you would be surprised at how little effort is involved in making a nice template for your blog. I have the scripting...

Ya gotta love this deal

At the beginning of last year I started a sports blog. I need another blog like I need scabies but this was a little different, with the set up of blogging software on a webspace and the purchase of a domain name, there was the possibility of making a few bucks. I worked it for awhile, setting up... Sign in to see full entry.

Sometimes it's the little things that pay

If you are going to run a little webhosting service, it is important to build in efficiencies by organizing your products and having features that can easily be installed. My little webhosting business, which also envelopes my ecommerce template installations, has grown again this year. A lot has... Sign in to see full entry.

Beware of the web forum whores

In the almost 3 years that I have had my little web forum, at times it has been plagued with spamming idiots and web forum whores. In the beginning, I was inexperienced with this sort of thing and did not screen people registering for the forum well enough. There are a few lessons learned in a hurry...
