We have completed the initial setup and design of DomainRecord.Info. Basic layout, functioning search and results, as well as various site information and policies are now available on the website. There is a long list of other features, like IP trace, ranking and domain appraisal, to be implemented, but at this time further development of this project will be placed on hold. There are more urgent ones that must be completed. The gaming news aggregator site is almost complete, and the planing stage of the domaining web sites is done. It is time to start development process.

DRI – layout update.
Although DomainRecord.Info has been available to the public since 2007, a layout for the website was never implemented. The whois script was simply installed and provided for everyone to use.
Today this was changed. A short description/disclaimer was added to the home page, explaining what the web site is about and what it does and does not. The search form size was adjusted so was the page displaying results. Most important of all a “ShareThis” button was added, allowing users to easily share any domain or IP record information on their blog, social network of choice or email it to someone. As far as usability, the web site is very easy to navigate with a simple design.
After this small update, the DomainRecord.Info project will be placed again on the back burner due to some nearly completed upcoming projects. One involves gaming news and the other is DomainVentory, which will offer domain monetization. Once these web services have gone live and are stable, DomainRecord.Info will be revisited so we can determine what new features could be added to the web site, making it more feature rich and useful to its users.

Morpheed.com Acquired.
Just about a week ago I acquired Morpheed.com. I came across Morpheed.com, again last week, as I was looking through some of my thousands of bookmarks. As I was browsing through the site I noticed that it was listed for sale. So, I decided to buy it and see what I can turn it into.
What is Morpheed.com?
Morpheed is a RSS aggregator. In addition to headlines aggregation, the site provides job opportunities for freelancers by aggregating listings from variety of job related feeds and sites, as well as CSS tutorials. Morphed’s backend is Wordpress, which I was surprised to find out, because I never looked at Wordpress as a RSS aggregator tool. But in the end, Wordpress has come a long way in its development and now can qualify as almost an accomplished CMS (Content Management System), especially with its extendibility through plug-ins. Currently Morpheed runs on three separate installations of Wordpress. In addition, the headline categories are somewhat concentrated on specific companies (Apple, Google and Microsoft), instead of general terms like travel or sports.
What is next for Morpheed.com?
The first thing I am going to do is bring the site from operating on three independent Wordpress installations to one. This will make easier managing the various sections of the site (headlines, jobs and css), as well as adding other sections in the future without having to install Wordpress once again. Following that, I will restructure the headlines’ categories. Articles need to be better calcified and thus easier to browse. A contact and “include my feed” forms will be added as well.
After the above are completed, I will look into adding more sections to the site and a possible redesign.
More to come for Morpheed.com in the future. In the mean time go on Morpheed and see what is happening in the world.
