Where do you buy your .co.uk and .org.uk domain names? Godaddy tells me I have to buy a .org.uk name for 2 years and that stinks and in any case would rather buy from a UK registrar for this one. Mind you, Godaddy seems to be a couple of quid cheaper. So any recommendations, and any opinions?
I went with Fasthosts... - Isha (Marysia)

WordPress › Smart YouTube « WordPress Plugins - http://wordpress.org/extend...
Smart Youtube is a Wordpress Youtube Plugin that allows you to easily insert Youtube videos/playlists in your post, comments and in RSS feed. The main purpose of the plugin is to correctly embed youtube videos into your blog post. The video will be shown in full in your RSS feed as well. From version 2.0 Smart youtube also supports playback of high quality videos, works on iPhone, produces xHTML valid code (unlike YouTUbe embed code), allows you to view videos in fullscreen and most recently supports YouTube playlists. The plugin is designed to be small and fast and not use any external resources. It has a number of customizable options." - Linda from Bookmarklet

You may have had emails in the last 2/3 months from Commission Junction UK &/or from Affiliate Window, telling you that amongst other things their new guidelines include: "Affiliates must not use a mechanism whereby users are encouraged to click to interact with content where it is unclear or confusing what the outcome will be: For example: [...]...
or confusing what the outcome will be: For example: [...] Opening the merchant's site without making it clear that this will occur". Affiliates contravening the code will be flung out. I quickly went through my posts unlinking all the keyword-to-affiliate-merchant links. How can we get around this? Are our 30dc sites now defunct? - Isha (Marysia)
Would love to have your comments on this issue. Affiliate Window & Commission UK are prolly the biggest UK-based affiliate organisations in the UK. If you're signed up to them, I wonder what you've been doing re your affiliate links in your blog posts? - Isha (Marysia)
The US have now caught up of course (FTC). Seems that the UK got there first... - Isha (Marysia)

This looks like a good UK aff network: http://shopzilla-publisher-blog.co.uk/ Seems more user-friendly than Digital/Affiliate Window. And they seem to have some good tutorial videos http://www.youtube.com/user... Shopzilla US is only open to sites that have an established US clientele. Anyone using either of them? Lisa? Andy? Linda?

I hope that Ed Dale covers Google Wave in this years 30 day challenge..........
Unlikely I'd have thought, it's not out yet. On the other hand talking about what might be big in the future is a popular activity. - Andy Roberts
Yes but the API and sandbox for web developers using Google Wave is out now and I am working on it. It manybe too complex for 30DC? It is due for release end of this year. http://code.google.com/apis... - Steve Williams

Anyone managed to set the new rank tracker module of Market Sam to fetch UK results yet? My project is UK based in MS but the ranking info fetched is google.com, so not much use. Is there a way to adjust it?
just been on the MS forum & someone else having similar issues. They're on it, so knowing the MS guys it will be sorted soon! - Linda
Link to forum thread please? - Andy Roberts
