For those of you who don’t know what domain parking is, let me tell you a few things about it to get you familiar with the topic. First, you need to remember that domain parking can be done for a couple reasons:
1. To Make Money From Advertising
2. To Make A Profit From The Sale Of A Domain
How Does It Work?
Domain parking is a function that is widely used by WordPress site members because of its ability to provide domain purchasing services. When you purchase a domain from WordPress, which can be done as easily as going to wordpress.com and typing in a potential domain that you are interested in. If you want, and the domain is available, then you can purchase it. Sometimes the domain is already purchased, so you can see if it is active.
ACTIVE vs. PARKED
When a domain is active, it will usually be hosted by WordPress if it was purchased through WordPress and will have information and a functioning page relevant to the name of the page. If the domain is parked, then you will see some information about the domain parking host, as well as relevant advertising. People who choose to park their domains can make money off the clicks that these ads receive. If the domain is hot, then potentially, one could make quite a bit of income.
RESELLING
When the domain is parked, it can also be listed for sale, much like normal real estate, except in this case it is a digital address. The domain name, if trendy, may be an item of interest, and a profit can be made on its sale. Speculators who purchase domain names in hopes of one day making a profit are careful as possible, and sometimes get big payouts from names that get popular.
CHOOSING A DOMAIN
Some domain resellers go straight for names that will bring in an ad sales interest by playing on famous web sites and finding similar names that would occur from Typos.
APPRAISAL
Getting it appraised is an option for those who are looking at big deals, and an independent appraiser provides an estimate of the value of the domain name based on a set of criteria.
PARKING IT
Parking it is as easy as going from the dashboard and changing the servers over to the hosting site. You will receive a confirmation code and should have your materials parked within a couple days. Making a profit is extremely risky, and speculators should do as much research as possible before making any investments.
If you run your life around WordPress like many other business owners and workers, and want to grab the bull by the horns and dig your heels into some new ground, check out the WP Think Tank.
http://wpthinktank.com/
The Think Tank, from what I gathered after looking at the site is that it is a place where there is plenty of room to keep things plain and simple. It was a breath of fresh air not seeing a page covered in ads. While not the most professional looking site, and somewhat hard to navigate, you could tell that plenty of thought had gone into its design. Perhaps there was a discussion on the design in the Think Tank.
The Think Tank draws on businesspeople and developers in the community and posts their live panel videos for those that do not get a chance to brainstorm in the WP Think Tank. That way, you can still immerse yourself in the discussions Ad Hoc, and get a chance to learn more about the topic, as well as find information on the Panelists. Some of the panelist details include some interesting titles, videos and more.
Check it out and see if you like it! It might be an interesting video to watch for you and the developers to see what is going on in the community.

There is a nifty plugin known as Postmatic. Postmatic is a WordPress plugin that goes above the call of duty in messaging and offers some powerful options for users who want to maintain their comments and dialogue via email. Traditionally, users could get notified of a comment via email, but this particular plugin allows users to not only get the comment alert via email, but also to respond.
The plugin has many features, but the central tenet is that it is email-platform centric. That means that for all those computer users who check their email multiple times each day, that you will be in luck if you want to get your messaging done in one place. This is the big idea; that the email inbox will be the message centre for the WordPress comments, discussion, and dialogue.
Here are three benefits of Postmatic:

Many bloggers and business owners have come to love WordPress for the option of starting their own personal, free, easy-to-use webpage. These web pages can be as simple as a personal recipe book, to much more elaborate and sophisticated online stores. Every site has its own appearance and brand, and choosing a theme can only make your site more unique.
Choosing a theme is a very important part of your site building, and you do not want to get too far along in the site building process before trying out a new theme. When you are into your theme pretty deep, and something malfunctions, or you want to choose a new theme, it can be difficult to remember all the widgets you were using and how they are setup.
Back To The Basics
When it comes to building a new site, it is a chance to reinvent yourself, your brand, and really your new site in general. It offers you a chance to start fresh. The fun thing about starting a new site is that you get the opportunity to ask yourself, “What do I want to accomplish with this site?”
Many times starting a new blog, webpage, or site can be challenging, and many people who choose their goals up front end up realizing that the task can be much more audacious than they originally thought! However, there are those that set goals only to meet and exceed them, and can find themselves beating their sites to death by trying to make every little thing perfect.
Finding A Balance
When it comes to starting a new site, it shouldn’t be like having another kid. You don’t want to have to look after the site day and night, and it should not eat up so much time that you can’t develop your other sites anymore. You need to come up with some priorities about what the main goal of the site is, and balance your resources for optimal success. If that means opening another site there, or closing one here, then that is up to you. In the meantime, enjoy WordPress and all of our awesome themes to make your sites, time, and designs more productive.
Many small to medium web development businesses will enjoy the fun and excitement of putting their developers to work on developing the next best plugin. The WordPress directory has over 30,000 plugins, but that is just a drop in the bucket compared to the number of web sites that use plugins. While I am not going to give you the ratio of opportunity here (I will save that for you to assign to the development unit) but seriously, what is the next best plugin?
Many web page developers will enjoy building a plugin as it can be a great way to get exposure for their business. Many people who develop web pages will use plugins to change the appearance and layout of their site. In fact, Plugins are one of the best things about WordPress because of their ability to work across the platform, with different themes, and allow for greater design variability. So this pushes us to wonder what we would like to do with our web pages, but are unable to with some of the more basic features. The answer? Find the right plugin.
YOU CAN ALSO ADD YOUR OWN PLUGIN TO WORDPRESS
Another interesting thing about a Plugin is that it can sometimes provider a widget as part of the Install, but rarely will you see a Widget be labelled as a Plugin. The Plugin can be used directly with your source code, or can be added to “style sheets”, or other code pages. Most often then have basic instructions, but honestly, most of the more complex plugins do a poor job of outlining how to install the code because it can have various reactions with the different themes that are being used. As a result, sometimes the same effect will not be achieved even when you are following the instructions.
Instead of having these problems, learn how to adapt an existing plugin, or write a new plugin with your favorite theme, then put your plugin in the WordPress directory and see how you can get more exposure to your business.

Now don’t think this article is about washing clothes, AJAX is an internet tool known as a Plugin. Plugins now number over 30,000 in the WordPress directory, but AJAX is one that is quite complex, often used by people who know a little bit of shortcode, and are familiar with the php environment of WordPress.
AJAX can be plugged into your site in a couple different ways. The most complex is to get the style sheet updated with some new code, but you might damage your base code so I would not recommend using the following:

WordPress is still relatively new to many people, but for those people who have been around for awhile developing websites, it has become a staple in web development. Started in 2003 as a spinoff by founders Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little in 2003, version 3.0 had been downloaded over 65 million times. These numbers are revolutionary! It seems like almost anyone who was in web development at that time ended up giving WordPress a go.

Many WordPress users are still trying to get their head around what the new “Benny” system is all about. First of all, “Benny” was named after the famous jazz clarinetist and bandleader Benny Goodman, who you can learn more about on youtube or wikipedia. The system itself is more of a patch update than anything else, however, it does have some interesting new and key features.
IMPROVED MEDIA TOOLS
The new program allows for greater control over image selection by adding an endless selection of media to be shown from your library. For sites that have 1000s of pictures, this may be a challenge with low-bandwidth, but no issues have been heard of as far as we know.
INCREASING EMBED OPTIONS
Remember back in the day when you had to be a “computer programmer” to put a Youtube video onto your web page? Well folks, we have come a long way since that day and age, and the new 4.0 Benny system is one of the greatest contributors to progressing this model. It actually gives you the tools to create really cool web pages, especially when you use one of our themes.
WordPress.org writes, “Paste in a YouTube URL on a new line, and watch it magically become an embedded video. Now try it with a tweet. Oh yeah — embedding has become a visual experience. The editor shows a true preview of your embedded content, saving you time and giving you confidence.”
GETTING PLUGGED IN
With an increasingly populated selection of “plugins” on WordPress, it is entirely amazing that the over 30,000 plugins can be handled by the system across all the different platforms and variants in which the core has expended. According to the WordPress Site, the Benny 4.0 upgrade helps with a more visualized experience, as well as offering new metrics and improved search.
THE DIRT
So really, should you install “Benny” right now? It might be a good idea to get any new updates installed and activated as soon as possible so you can ensure that you are ahead of the curve, but most people can get by with the current version.
