Just got the latest edition of Ping! Zine at my door yesterday, and I do have to say it is great cover to cover, front to back. Yes, I also had an article in it this month, Website Hosting vs Personal Backup Hosting (check it out on page 46).
If you did not get the paperback copy of the magazine, you can also pick up the digital version from PingZine.com. If you want to get the paperback version of the magazine for free, check out this special subscription offer from WebHostingShow.com.
One of my most recent project I have been put in charge of for Lunarpages is building up a support site wiki for all of their customers to use. Now as somebody who uses WordPress for just about everything - I was skeptical about moving over to the wiki format.
I do have to say I think I am getting a grasp on how to move around, edit and customize a wiki. Thankfully, there is a lot of good help and resource information on MediaWiki’s web site. If you ever find yourself building a wiki this is one nice resource your going to be using over and over again for sure.
One of the most helpful have been the post about categories, think I have that about mastered by now. I haven’t even started looking at all the extensions though. Have any other wiki advice for me as I tackle this new project of mine?
I’m proud to say that Lunarpages (via several design contests) has done a lot to perk up the WordPress theme design area of the Web. Between two contests they are now highlighting 229 different themes that are all available for download.
So if your looking for a little insperation on your next WordPress theme design or your stressing over finding a great one to use, check ‘em out. Lunarpages is also currently holding it’s third WordPress design contest right now - so if your a designer you got to check that out too.
Loads of hosting fun from this week’s past show. Did you check it out?
If not here are just a few topics from this week’s episode of the Web Hosting Show.
HostingCon Sold Off to iNet Interactive? - iNET Interactive, those darlings of the web hosting world who brought us such things as webhostingtalk.com, hostvoice.com, and hostingtech.com have acquired the HostingCon conference.
Interesting Tool to See if Your Site is Up or Down! - Previously I told you about an awesome web site status tool that could help you tell if your web site was up or not. Down for everyone or just me looks to have become a real success. I have one better though, thanks to a suggestion from a Web Hosting Show listener named John.
The Mess That Was .ME Domain Name Registrations? - You may have caught wind of some of the .me buzz last week, as GoDaddy started taking registrations for them for $20 a year (and you have to sign up for two years, so that should really be $40)… If eight people say they registered it, that will leave seven people really unhappy about the whole ordeal.
The Simplest FTP Program Ever!?! - I often hear complaints from people that FTP programs are too hard to use. There are too many options, too many buttons and too many configurations you have to learn about. For those people out there looking for a simpler FTP program I offer to you DropUpLoad.
Need a totally off the wall and oddball way of explaining bandwidth to your friends? This video (from what I guess is a commercial for Internet access from Hong Kong) should do the job.
If you don’t find that funny, you don’t deserve to laugh! (via HostingBookmarks.com)
