GoDaddy
So I mentioned that I would start sharing some of the tools I use. So I have to mention GoDaddy. I use GoDaddy for all my domain registrations. I’d recommend them to anyone. Check them out and see what all the talk is about. I’ve purchased my domains through them, SSL Certificated through them. Just about anything I need I’ve order through through them…
Here’s a link that will give you .com domains for only $7.49.
Freshbooks
So I am getting busier and busier, as I keep helping more and more people use the web, and helping different folks get their businesses on the web. So I have been using this company called Freshbooks, for invoicing and it has been working great. Check them out here http://freshbooks.com and let me know what you think. I’ll do a few more posts in the near future of other applications that I have been using to help make my life just a little bit easier…

Worm running around attacking Wordpress Sites Everywhere
So I was doing some reading today and noticed that there is a worm out attacking wordpress sites. It appears that Version 2.8.4 is not vulnerable, so was the version before but I would go around and check your Wordpress if you are using wordpress and make sure that you are atleast 2.8.3 but I think 2.8.4 would be even better. And check your friends sites too make sure they have upgraded…
This article explains this problem more, and will give you more information in you are interested.
Hosting provider
I have now entered into the world of being a hosting provider. I have been hosting several sites for a while, but just recently decided that I should start doing my own hosting. So I am still working out some of the kinks, and will start adding some new pages here in the next few days talking about my hosting opportunities, and how I can serve the people who want me to host their site for them. But I just wanted to put this note out there letting people know that I now can provide hosting.
openIDs
I was over using Plaxo this morning, I got an email about someone joinging Plaxo or something like that.
Any way, while I was there I noticed that Plaxo now accepted openIDs. Which got me thinking that I have always wanted to have my own openID server. Well, while I was looking how to setup my own openID server, I noticed that google was now an openID site, so when I signup to sites that use openID, I can use google as the openID site. So I decided to add an openid login to my sites, so I added an openID plugin. So if you need to login to this site, you can now do so using openID.
Travel Agent Scams
I stumbled across this site, that is great. Its just a site that lists all the information about a really bad travel agency that we tried to use to get airline tickets. So here is a link to the info about this crappy company.
