Comments Fixed…

As I made these major changes here on WDI, one if the things that I missed was to update the reCapcha keys for the new domain. Thanks to Rendell for letting me know about that. It is now functional so please leave your comments for me about the new design. I am looking forward to it.

WebDesignIdeas.org – The Facelift…

Very exciting for me, I finally got the new WDI template done. It’s been in planning and construction for about 2 months now and finally it is here. I really like how it turned out and would love to hear some feedback from my readers. Please leave your comments below.

As you may have noticed I have also changed the main domain to WebDesignIdeas.org instead of the old wbDesignIdeas.com. I have my heart in this blog and want it to succeed and one thing that I didn’t like was the weird domain name that wasn’t really “main stream”, if you will. I tried many times to contact the owner of WebDesignIdeas.com but he won’t answer my calls or emails. I think .ORG is just fine with us…what do you think? :)

Looking forward to your feedback.

Is DIGG Dead?

diggg

Seems to me that DIGG is not what it used to be anymore. It has became a high-rollers club and not as it was intended – a social news engine. No more can a story have a chance to raise from upcoming news to reach the front page.

If you take a look at the upcoming news you will see that very rarely does any story that is submitted gets more than 3 diggs. To get a story up in the ranks on DIGG, now you have to be a part of a team of many “friends” that will DIGG your story when you ask. Does this remind you of SPAM? I know that the stories that are getting Dugg are great stories but the rest of the world that does not have Internet Marketing in their mind when submitting, have no chance.

This is how it seems to me. Tell me what your take on this is.

Happy New Year!

My Sister’s Crafty, Hand-Knitted Hats

My sister Inna posted some of her famous knitted Slouchy hand-knitted hobo hats on eBay. I wanted to help her out and spread the word. These are great as a Christmas present or just to wear durring the cold weather this winter. Check them out here: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZinna559
