My VWD Lottery Experience.

You ever spend an inordinate amount of time on a domain site looking for a ‘killer’ domain name? normally, I choose one based on the product or site I want to promote, simple enough but, this time, I want a domain for my new online presence which will encompass all my online money makery things and also a place to put all the other stuff that I want to post about but can’t really slip in here.

I’ve been doing a lot of stumbling (stumbleupon.com) lately and some of the really good blogs that I’ve seen have their own domain name so I thought that I’d choose one for when this blog gets it’s hosting killed next month.

How hard is it to choose a bloody name that isn’t already gone? I tried a few that seemed nice but the closest I got was all available except the .com . grrr. Onias made a post recently at Daily Webbers about how people would automatically go to the .com of a site if they heard someone tell them “I saw a good post at daily webbers the other day”.

So, I was trying to think of a name that would be easily remembered and .com’able, I did find that IdontSing.com was available, but I don’t think that describes what will be on the new site, I ended up with ..

FiddyP.com and FiddyP.co.uk
“Get Hits or Die Tryin”

hehe, what do you think?

I like it, it sort of says it’s a UK site even though the .com is there and it’s slightly tongue in cheek so easy to remember, vague enough that I can put anything on there and it could have a sub theme of seeing how many hits it gets as it grows.

now off to personalize a new wordpress theme to make it mine, I’ve been learning Ajax recently so I have some fun things to try on the sidebar. I was even thinking of making my own wordpress plugin so I could quickly add a link to a site I find interesting while I’m on the actual site, kind of like the bookmarklet that WP had in version 1.0

oh, I have finished my dental treatment (I hope). more to come on that with a big fat review of my “the most awesomest dentist evah” who fixed me teef….
