If you think you are a good designer then I would definitely advice you to join the new
logo design contest of the
webdigity community.
The prize is $100 and I think what they ask is really simple for someone who knows a little Photoshop or Illustrator.
For more info refer here.

Web 2.0 announcer just announced the release of the monetizer plugin for wordpress. The plugin can be used to display the top stories from social bookmarks - like Digg, netscape, delicious, etc. - for the tags you are interested in.
In addition to that web 2.0 announcer gives you 50% of the adsense advertisements, which is a good motivation to use the plugin

Finally I’ve decided to contribute something in the php open source community. Today we’ve published the php user class, which is a class for user manipulation under php and mysql.
The class uses variable settings for database (table, fields), session and cookie variables, and it can easily be used in a new or an established project. I wrote it this way in order to integrate it with other projects that have bad user system and even use it in adition to other open source projects (for instance you can create a stand alone module which will be able to use the users of your wordpress blog
)
You can see a demonstration of how it works in the examples page.
Hope you will like it

One of the most important things in SEO is link bait, or the way that you acquire links to your site. There are many ways to do that like directory submissions, forum posts, submitting to social bookmarks, etc.
Of course besides free ways there are several paid options to link build your site. The problem is that in most cases you have to pay on monthly/yearly basis in order to keep your link alive, or otherwise you will loose the link and the ranking that it is giving to your site.
The solution to this problem came from the permanent link sales. Buying a permanent link always have less risk, and after all a SEO campaign should not have residual expenses but residual traffic
There are several ways to get permanent links, but as there is no automated solution/marketplace like text link ads, you should search yourself for the best deals. Of course there are plenty of webmaster forums out there that can help you with this process.
Finally I will give you one great deal on permanent text links which comes from webdigity’s donation page. The page is a pagerank 4, and as it links to the top donators web sites it is a good deal for $1 or so

I would like to announce that webdigity has opened the tutorials section to non webdigity members, so it would be easier for everyone to get tutorials from them for free.
The webdigity tutorials, consist mostly of php tutorials and there are many code snippets there that you would pay to get them elsewhere.
Also there is an RSS feed for the tutorials which you can subscribe to, if you are interested in coding. Enjoy

Looking for a web hosting partner is usually a very hard task. This is because there are so many web hosting companies out there, and in most cases you are not able to know how good a company is before you use their services. An example of the problems that may occur is the recent downtime of the online marketing blog which was down for about 18 hours when their hosting provider decided to stop serving them…
Personally I have changed a lot of hosting partners in order to find someone that I can trust. There are many companies that have serious downtimes, others have hidden charges, etc. So when you are looking for web hosting the goal is to find a serious company which is in business for a long time and have no downtime. Of course your web hosting provider should have enough bandwidth to serve your sites fast.
I guess those are the problems that real metrics thought and found a great solution. The solution sounds simple but technically is not. They have bought hosting accounts from several providers, and they run several tests that indicate how good a hosting service is. So in webdigity’s web hosting comparisons you can look for your next web hosting partner with the minimal risk that you could take.
Enjoy
