Many people out there are looking for an easy way to learn more about DHTML and AJAX code, so to help you learn like I did – try MiniAjax.com.  This web site provides you with many nice looking, simple DHTML and AJAX code examples to play with and learn from.  Here are a few tutorial examples I found there:

• Facebook Style Input Box
• AJAX Star Rating Bar
• GreyBox: An easy javascript popup box
• Tabbed content browser

Check these code examples out (and many more) at MiniAjax.com.

It will automatically transform your WordPress powered blog into an iPhone application-like experience when viewed from an iPhone, iPod or Android phone.  All your standard WordPress features are there too – including tags, archive, search, photos and more.  Along with some cool ajax work and effects, you will be one lean mean mobile browsing machine.

Now where many mobile devices show some web sites just fine, other web sites might need a lightweight version that would be more friendly to the mobile web browsers out there.  That is who and where this plugin for WordPress is aimed at. 

You can pick up the WPtouch plugin at bravenewcode.com.

1. Network-Tools.com – Ugly interface but a little something for every network tool loving freak.
   
2. Pingdom Tools – The best looking set of network tools, ping, traceroute and page loading tools included.
3. DNS Goodies – Lots of goodies here to love from whois, ip check, ping and more.
   
4. Traceroute.org – Need to do a traceroute from more than one location? The interface is horrible but the info is handy.
5. DNS Stuff – Another list of your generic domain name tools. Also has a paid service for more perks and choices.
6. My Nameserver – Tons of DNS related lookup tools here. Also good to look up abuse, domain name worth and more.
7. DNS Tools – Ping, traceroute, whois and more. I really like the fact you can “search for all” here too.
8. DomainTools.com – Probably my all time favorite, DomainTools.com has everything you could want under the sun.
9. Ajax DNS – Look up your DNS info in a crazy cool ajax powered interface. Not just eye candy here though, good all around resource.
10. IP Tools – Another “we do everything” network tool web site. Dozens of search boxes with dozens of tools.
11. Internet Tools – A handful of Internet query tools so you can do quick searches for things such as various whois searches.
12. Ajax DNS Bench – Drop and give me 20! 6 ajax powered DNS tools here to pick from.
13. My IP Neighbors – Now you can use this site to do a reverse DNS search to find out who else is on your server.
14. Who is Hosting This – Find out the host or server that a domain name is using. Quick and effective (for nosey people only).

Now I wouldn’t recommend trying to use all of these, as many of them preform the same functions. Find the ones that work best for you, and next time you need to do a ping, traceroute or whois search you should be more than ready for the job.

For those of you out there that find yourself in the same borat boat as me, one neat tool to check for mistakes is SpellJax.
