    1st .au site is live!

    None of my friends that have businesses have said they have the need for another domain, all their backlinks and customers know the .com.au so why do they need something different.

    Favourite WordPress Plugins

    I've been using upfront by WPMU Dev, it was good, because it had its own theme builder, it allowed you to create the different template files, and then build the pages accordingly, but it was taking a really long time to use, and the examples were few and far between. It did however allow the...

    Marketo goes down forgetting to renew their domain.

    Apparently Marketo forgot to renew their domain, and it expired. Impacting customers for some time while the dns's propagated. Even a user registered the domain in good faith, is this correct or wouldn't it go into RGP? http://jasonmarlowe.com/marketo/
