mangkel sama gandi.net

mau ganti nameservers ditolak gara-gara informasi country pemilik domain tidak terisi ;(
padahal yg. bikin sampai field country itu gak keisi gara2 dia upgrade programmnya. lagian apa hubungannya ganti nameservers sama Country? padahal dulu gak gitu.. bah… ;(

pas dicari-cari cara buat isi country itu ternyata harus dikirim lewat pos formulirnya beserta bukti identitas… gile bener ;(

akhirnya, gue putuskan cabut dari Gandi utk. selama-lamanya… ;P (lagi proses transfer ke gkg)

Indonesia.go.id? ugh…

Memang Memalukan, Situs Indonesia.go.id. Situs model gitu kok mau diresmikan Presiden pas puncak peringatan Harkitnas 2002. Yang benar aja?! Layout norak, framenya pada berantakan, loading lama, bahasa campur aduk -> Indonesia Inggris, penggunaan jpg dan gif yg. kurang pengalaman, dll. Coba bandingkan sama http://www.whitehouse.gov/! Toh tidak sulit bikin yang lebih baik.

Apa mungkin ini hasil ‘tender’? 😉 Kenapa gak dilombakan saja kayak bubuawards itu ya??? Aukh, gelap! ;P

Top Ten Guidelines for Homepage Usability ala Jakob ;P

Dia bilang:

  1. Include a One-Sentence Tagline
  2. Write a Window Title with Good Visibility in Search Engines and Bookmark Lists
  3. Group all Corporate Information in One Distinct Area
  4. Emphasize the Site’s Top High-Priority Tasks
  5. Include a Search Input Box
  6. Show Examples of Real Site Content
  7. Begin Link Names with the Most Important Keyword
  8. Offer Easy Access to Recent Homepage Features
  9. Don’t Over-Format Critical Content, Such as Navigation Areas
  10. Use Meaningful Graphics
    Don’t just decorate the page with stock art. Images are powerful communicators when they show items of interest to users, but will backfire if they seem frivolous or irrelevant. For example, it’s almost always best to show photos of real people actually connected to the topic, rather than pictures of models.

Ujung-ujungnya dia mempromosikan bukunya, Homepage Usability: 50 Websites Deconstructed ;P Ada yang mau beliin? 🙂

ngelelang domain di ebay.com

Ada yg. udah pernah coba? Katanya si Zain di sini, ada beberapa langkah yg. mesti diperhatikan:

  1. Get Registered
    To sell anything on eBay, registration is required. Registration is free, but there is a small fee to list items for sale. Buying is free, and can begin right away — and there are no eBay fees to buy, only to sell.
  2. Do your Homework
    After you’ve registered successfully, do a little research to find out where domains should be placed for sale. eBay has dozens of categories, and one is of course the Domain Names directory: .com Domain Listings, while the other is the Businesses for sale–> Websites section (if the domain being sold points to a developed site): Businesses for sale —-> Web sites.
  3. Choose your Listing Type
    Featured Listing, Premium Listing, dan Homepage Featured.
  4. Decide on the Auction Duration
    The next choice you’ll need to make is the auction duration. As of now, 3, 5, and 7 days are free, while 10 days is not. I always use 7 day auctions, and so do most other sellers.
  5. Get an Appraisal
    Appraisal is an important factor in buying and selling a domain name. Whether the domain is a word in the dictionary, or has been made up, consider having a domain appraised by an appraisal authority.

Sisanya, kalo tertarik, baca sendiri. Kalo ada yg. sukses ngelelang domain di sono, cerita-cerita ya 🙂 Btw, ini bukan iklan soal ebay lho…;P
