Take advantage, and grab a .com domain and seriously cheap hosting today.

.COM Domain Name

One of the very first Top-Level Domains (TLD) established in January 1985, .COM has since become the largest TLD, accounting for just under half of the 174 million domain names currently registered. This TLD means “commercial” to the vast majority of Internet users. Dozens of other TLDs are now available, including .ME, .CA and, more recently, .IN. But no matter how many new extensions may be added, everyone agrees – .COM is still the “Rodeo Drive of the Web.” (CNNMoney.com) Do you have yours?

WordPress has recently released a new plugin that bundles many of the great add-ons available to wordpress.com users, into a simple and easy way to get the same features on your self-hosted Word Press website.

Introducing WordPress Jetpack.

What features does it have?

Version 1.1 of Jetpack includes:

  • Gravatar Hovercards: Find out who’s commenting on your posts with enhanced information for Gravatars (includes full name, bio, other web profiles).
  • WordPress.com Stats: Keep on top of your traffic with powerful and simple to understand statistics for your site.
  • Twitter Widget: Keep your readers more up to date by syncing your tweets to your site via a simple widget.
  • Shortcodes: Quickly add movies, images, and more to your posts and pages with a single line of code.
  • Shortlinks: Automatically creates an easy to copy/paste mini-url for any post on your site.
  • \LaTeX: Use the famous markup language to quickly create beautiful mathematical expressions and equations.
  • Sharedaddy: Your readers can easily share your posts via email or their favorite social networks.
  • After the Deadline: Your writing will improve thanks to this artificial intelligence based spell, style, and grammar checker.

Some of these features use the powerful WordPress.com cloud, others are popular features provided for the convenience of not having to install and manage several separate plugin installations.

It’s easy to see that this one plugin, might just replace quite a few plugins that people use everyday.

The Internet Explorer 6 Countdown

Microsoft does the right thing

Microsoft has recently launched the ie6countdown.com website to help transition people over to a more modern browser. From a web developer point of view, let us just say: “Three cheers for Microsoft!”.

10 years ago a browser was born.

Its name was Internet Explorer 6. Now that we’re in 2011, in an era of modern web standards, it’s time to say goodbye.

This website is dedicated to watching Internet Explorer 6 usage drop to less than 1% worldwide, so more websites can choose to drop support for Internet Explorer 6, saving hours of work for web developers.

In a recent tweet, they said:

It’s not often that we encourage you to stop using one of our products, but for #IE6, we’ll make an exception

Why is this a good idea?

There are still quite a few people in countries all around the world using IE6, and helping them transition to a newer/better browser not only helps them, but helps advance the web.

To read more about why updating your browser is a good idea, read our recent article Web Browser Dinosaurs Still Among Us. Also, don’t forget to leave a comment below and let us know what you think about the ie6countdown website.
