Aside from internet marketing I am a licensed minister. I mostly work with youth and young adults but I do weddings, funerals and pretty much preach whenever someone gives me a microphone.

I know that not everyone has a pastor. Not everyone has a church. Think of me as your internet marketing pastor.

What does this do for you? Well…If you don’t contact me it won’t do anything.

If you do contact me I promise to pray for you. I will pretty much pray the will of God for whatever you are going through. If you are launching a new site, I will pray that God bless your hand. If its a porn site or a gambling site I will pray that God causes it to fail. See how that works?

Seriously, if you are going through something and just want to know that someone is praying, let me know.

I have a handy contact form you can use here.

What does this cost? Free.

Priceless !

I have a bunch of domains that I had expiring about the same time. I have always used Godaddy but recently started registering my domains with Whois Guard. Godaddy charges like $8 for this and I found others who don’t. When my Godaddy domains started expiring I wanted to transfer them to Namecheap.

I thought you just unlock the domain on your current registrar and that is that. Not so. To transfer a domain out of Godaddy it takes a little effort. But it is not that difficult if you know what you are doing .

I did a little searching and here is what I found:

• When initiating a Godaddy domian transfer, the new registrar requires a Godaddy EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol) code. Basically, the new registrar will queue the transfer until you (the owner) enters the EPP code.
• Godaddy does not exactly make it easy to find this code. Log in to Godaddy, open up the domain you want transferred, and on the bottom of the left column will be a link that says “Authorization Code: Send by Email”. Clicking on the link will result in an email being sent to the domain owner’s email that Godaddy has with the EPP code.
• If you have Godaddy’s DomainsByProxy, you have to cancel it before you start all this. Godaddy will not release the domain if it is on.
• In NameCheap go to the pending transfers. There will be a list of your domains waiting for the Godaddy EPP code.

After you give your registrar the Godaddy EPP code to transfer your domain Godaddy will release it a few days later.

About six months ago I wrote a post about desiring fellowship with Christian affiliate marketers

Other than the youth in my youth group, there may be a handful of people on this planet that know my sites. That plain sucks. So I am hoping for fellowship with other Christian internet marketers.

If you are a Christian internet marketer (and by that I mean 1. You are saved, and live like you are saved 2. You actually make money online) and you are seeking fellowship with others that understand what it is like to spend 16 hours straight staring at your monitor in the hopes of eaking out a living on line, drop me a line.

Recently my friend Wade made a post challenging Christians in this business to go a step further and help Christian owned business in launching.

And just today, Shawn Collins posted an article about tithing your marketing time. Though from a secular perspective Shawn is looking for a community of like minded individuals who will partake in some charity to help the larger body politik.

I’d imagine that silent majority among networks, affiliates, and merchants has some great feedback and advice, but they’re all “too busy.”

Well listen here – if you care about the industry, invest in it with your insight. It doesn’t take so much time to contribute.

There are some folks that share a lot – they info tithe, meaning they spend a good 10% of their week helping, sharing, informing, correcting, and generally growing the industry.

There is good news and bad news in this. For those who hate God and are skeptical of those who don’t, there is very little to worry about here. We as the called out ones are not doing any better that the rest of the industry. The bad news is that I would really like to be part of something that will change that.

So why the failure?

When a business venture starts you have the visionary who raises capital to launch the venture. We have visionaries, we just have not had the capital raised. For business ventures that capital is financial. In kingdom work that capital is prayer.

Will you agree with me in prayer today? Please pray to the Father that we can have some sort of meaningful fellowship of believers who can bridge the gap between their faith and their business. A place of trusting relationships based on integreity where we can multiply our resources.

One can put a thousand to flight, two can put ten thousand.

Lots of people have talked about how Google Reader is their RSS reader of choice but the only negative has been the lack of search feature (which is funny because of G’s main business).

Anyway, I logged onto GReader today and the search is there!

The only thing is, I don’t remember what it was I wanted to search for.

I downloaded a piece of software that came with a little trojan.� The put Yahoo as the default search engine.� If they actually accepted me for YPN I would consider it but I wanted this removed.� I removed the search extension but it still hijacked the location bar search.� Previously it used to perform a Google “I’m Lucky” Search and take you to the first page of its search results automatically.

If you want to restore the Google “I’m Lucky” search then perform this simple steps:
1. Type about:config in Firefox location bar and press Enter
2. Type keyword in Filter textbox and you will see only the preference keyword.URL.
3. Double-click on keyword.URL and change the value to: http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=

That’s all it takes to restore default keyword search functionality in Google.

Note: You can use this to change to any search engine for keyword search.

So you just bought a 400,000 record article database or have a new server and need to migrate your database but it is larger than 30 MB so phpmyadmin won’t let you.

Do not worry. There is a simple system to import your large database. Go get bigdump.php and follow these steps:

1. Open bigdump.php in a text editor and adjust the database configuration
2. Drop the old tables on the target database if your dump doesn’t contain “DROP TABLE” (use phpMyAdmin)
3. Create the working directory (e.g. dump) on your web server
4. If you want to upload the dump files directly from the web browser give the scripts writing permissions on the working directory (e.g. make chmod 777 on a Linux based system). You can upload the dump files from the browser up to the size limit set by the current PHP configuration of the web server. Alternatively you can upload any files via FTP.
5. Upload bigdump.php and the dump files (*.sql or *.gz) via FTP to the working directory (take care of TEXT mode upload for bigdump.php and dump.sql but BINARY mode for dump.gz if uploading from MS Windows).
6. Run the bigdump.php from your browser via URL like http://www.yourdomain.com/dump/bigdump.php. Now you can select the file to be imported from the listing of your working directory.
7. BigDump will start every next import session automatically if you enable the JavaScript in your browser.
8. Relax and wait for the script to finish. Do not close the browser window!
9. IMPORTANT: Remove bigdump.php and your dump files from your server
