Juitter Plugin Rocks!

I found this Wordpress Plugin that when tweaked can add Live Twitter Feeds to the end of your posts. You can tweak variables such as Keywords, User To, and User From. You can also adjust the look, color, and number of feeds that can be pulled. Like the title says, it rocks! Check it out below.

Jquery Carousel Slides for Wordpress

Jim Atwood — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 23:56:24 +0000

I just “finally” finished up getting a JQuery Carousel Slide Feature up on Ricochehost. You can see it on the front bpage of Ricochehost.com at the bottom until I find a new home for it. It was a bit challenging to get the JQuery code working with this but I finally got it to show correctly on my Firefox and IE browsers. I also managed to get it integrating well with Wordpress posts so that I can feature them. The customization possibilities for this are unlimited and I’m looking forward to exploring this JQuery stuff further. In fact, I’ll have to create some custom pages to highlight these JQuery projects I’m getting involved in. Great fun although it’s still difficult to find stable working examples to draw from.

Registering JP Domains in Japan

Jim Atwood — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 08:17:51 +0000

For those familiar with Japan, Onamae means “name”. Recently I just registered my own name domain http://jimatwood.jp for use in Japan. The price was pretty good I thought at $56 for two years. The domain was registered at http://www.onamae.jp which is a Japanese discount domain service. You need to understand how to read Japanese to navigate the site which I do, plus you have to have a Japanese address to order the .jp or .ne.jp domains. Of course you need a registered business in Japan for a co.jp domain.

I highly recommend Onamae as my experience thus far has been very good. Note that the control panel and everything is in Japanese. We’ll see after two years whether they ramp up the renewal cost, but since it’s a Japanese company and I reside in Japan, I don’t think that will happen. The domain extension .jp is extremely popular in Japan and for those wondering where to grab your .jp domains, be sure to check out Onamae for specials.
