First thing I want to say is thanks for the nice comments about my move to wordpress. I know it only took me like a month to do it, but I am finally here. For those of you who had my old feed url, you might need to update it to a new one. I have RSS information in the sidebar.

There’s still one problem I see on my blog now. If you click the October Archive, it doesn’t work. All the other months do, though. I think that I had a folder on my server already called 2006/10 and that I didn’t delete it when I made the move to Wordpress. So Wordpress is probably calling up the wrong folder for that archive. I won’t be able to check it out till I get home from work.

Making a Sale

On Tuesday I was contacted via email about someone wanting to purchase a domain from me. I have never had this happen to me before. And the weird thing about it is he was inquiring about a domain I registered on Monday! I owned the domain less than 24 hours and he wanted it. The buyer mentioned he meant to register the name on Friday, but simply forgot, and by the time he checked again I had already snagged it. A costly mistake on his part.

The domain is Putterswap.com and I sold it to him for $300. I was able to talk him up some after his initial offer. I was very reluctant to let this domain go because I planned on developing it. But, when $300 is staring me in the face just after 24 hours of registering the name for $7.20, I just had to take it. I am only saving $65 of it to reinvest. The rest of the money will go to paying bills (just bought a new couch and loveseat for $1300).

The lesson learned here is never wait on registering a domain. If you find a name you like, splurge on the $7.00 is might cost you and buy it. You just might get lucky. Oh and here’s another reason why I do not like to keep Whois information private. If I was set to private, the buyer never would have been able to contact me.

Lithman.net Header?

Anyone have any ideas for a header I should put on here? I’m thinking something beachy or golf or fishing. Since I live in Florida and enjoy all 3 of those, I thought it would be appropriate… unless some of you want a picture of me up there! (I don’t think so).
