Discover valuable generic domain names with Firefox Domain Lookup

Posted on November 10th, 2008 in Blogging, Tips and Tricks | No Comments »

Being a webmaster it’s important for me to keep an eye on some of the best domain names that are available out there. I’ve found a very interesting Firefox add on today that speeds up this process of searching domain names a bit while I’m working on the internet. It does not automate the whole process but provides enough automatism to be a great asset for every webmaster or domain hunter.

img216/3420/crazyhorsepreview2ke1.gifThe new version of Wordpress is all set to be released next month “10th of November”.  Version 2.7 offers Quick Post feature that will allow you to write a post from your dashboard instead of going to “Write post” page which seems pretty much useless. The only feature I was anticipating of was the “Blog Stats” and seems like we’re going to enjoy this feature in the upcoming version. Wordpress is already offering this feature at Wordpress.com and it seems really useful.
