Well, you know West Palm Beach is my home town and the local news paper is Palm Beach Post. I was asked to interview in the news paper by the editor for their Accent section. The interview was featured today, Tuesday 08, 2008. It is a pretty darn big review. First it is on homepage, then most of the accent homepage and then and extra page. A short version of the article is also online.

Yup Lucky me. Once the interview was published today, I got multiple emails and phone calls from various people and local businesses who wants Uzzz Productions to do their design. So you know I will be a bit busy supervising and doing some of the work.

Well forget that, just check out the newspaper:

Yes fellow webmasters in webmaster world this domain is surely making a buzz. Webmasters.org is for sale on Sitepoint. Believe it or not, but this domain is well worth the price.

Current bid is $36,000, yesterday Shoemoney wrote a post and it was only at $9,000, so it is a 4 times increase in 1 day.

This is a good domain in my opinion and it is very obvious why I think that. Potential to earn from this domain is way more than the current bid. I believe a good owner can get twice the return in one year. This domain is a pr 7 with a clean record.

Jeremy suggested that it can be a very good directory, and I think it can be a very good portal. Containing directory, webmaster forum, and webmaster tools.

I will say this domain can possibly fetch around $60,000 lets see how this one goes out.

Well recently, I was reading Google Adsense Blog in which I was surprised to read that they are retiring their referral program. Well they are not exactly retiring, but they are replacing it with Google Affiliate Network.

So starting August 1, they will discontinue the adsense referral program. I don’t know if they will stop the ongoing referrals which haven’t converted yet because I know I have some that are waiting for convert. Hopefully, they let those convert because I don’t want to loose any of those $100.

Also I don’t know whether Google Product Referral will continue with this new Affiliate Network. I made a good amount with the google products, so I wish that they continue that, but they didn’t mention anything on their blog.

I just wish that google gets better at explaining their breaking news a little better for webmasters like us. But such a big corporation, I guess they have communication problems. By the way I hate the new google favicon. Did anyone else noticed that? It is just plain UGLY (Just my opinion) Hopefully they’ll make it a little brighter.

Wordpress just won’t stop eh. A month or so back they released their 2.5.1 Wordpress. Now they have released its Beta version 2.6.1.

Well what are you waiting for. Simply get Wordpress 2.6.1 Beta Version Here.

Well, someone contact me via msn and told me that my Balkhis Contact form is not working. So I kinda got shocked because I was recieving emails from the contest. The person claimed that the security question is misspeled or something. Well anyways, I decided to head over the blog admin panel, to confirm.

Well I went to settings, and I see that there is no tab for the contact form. I got worried at first. I thought maybe the contact form doesn’t comply with this wordpress, but seconds later I rejected that thought because the contact form seem to be working fine. I head over to Uzzz Productions because it is also running on wordpress. I checked the contact form, and It was available there.

I came back to the Balkhis admin panel, and double checked everything and it didn’t work. Stupid thoughts were coming into my mind. Such as the plugin might not be activated, but then I would question myself how is it working if it is not activated. After a while I figured out a problem.

Curious to know?

Apparently I am using too many plugins, and the new wordpress admin panel design doesn’t have an option of going to the next line like the old one did. So alot of your plugins might not even be visible to you. It is not only in just one browser because I tested both IE 7.0 and FF (latest version). Also it is not just the wordpress default admin theme, the Fluency Theme by Dean Robinson also have the same issue.

Edit (June 22, 2008 22:23 EST) – Dean Robinson’s Fluency theme works fine. All you have to do is download the latest version of it. I didn’t know the latest version was out because it didn’t show in the admin panel that there is a new version for that plugin. Hopefully Dean you will add something that tells us users that like all other plugins do. (Now hopefully wordpress will get it fixed also)

I came to this conclusion because it was not available in Balkhis because Balkhis have alot more plugins, and It was visible in Uzzz. Also, when I copied the url and pasted it in Balkhis … The page was there and the plugin was working.

Hopefully this gets fixed.
