Typo Domain Bought

By Jonathan Bailey • Mar 3rd, 2008 • Category: Articles, Housekeeping

For those who have either accidentally mistyped or misspelled the word “plagiarism”, I’ve purchased the domain “plagerismtoday.com” and had it forward to this site.

Not only does this mean I don’t have to worry about typo squatters in the future, but also that those who make the simple easy mistake don’t have to worry about retyping the address.

Also, in an update to the latest changes to the site, I’ve gone back and removed the MyBlogLog and the Twitter elements from the sidebar.

I have, however, added back a link to the Performancing Legal Issues Forum for those who need free help with plagiarism and content theft cases.

Thank you very much for your feedback and suggestions. There are more changes to the site that will be coming but most should be very minor at most.

  • Ramona: I just figured that if even my father, a man whose intelligence I admire greatly, missed it on the first try, he probably was not the only one. It isn't just the non-native speakers, I have to face facts, it is an easy word to miss no matter who you are. Thank you for commenting!
  • It's an excellent idea. Many people mistype this, not to mention some non-native English speakers who can read and comprehend your content, but still have some small issues with spelling .. Best of luck ;)
  • Voyagerfan: I was forced to agree that it was off-topic. May add back the Twitter information though, just a link to my actual profile there. Will take up less sidebar space. With this layout I really have to conserve vertical space.

    Just my situation though, not all blogs have this issue...
  • Yes! Fight the typo-squatters!

    Also, I recently nuked my Twitter widget in favor of the FriendFeed widget I already had in my sidebar. The two were kind of redundant. Why'd you give yours the heave-ho?
  • Jeremy: I figured it was worth the few bucks I spent at least. Glad you like the new layout!
  • Good idea, it's better you buy it than some lame spammer.

    By the way, good job on the new layout. Blog looks great :)
