June 4, 2008 · Filed Under Tutorials · 1 Comment 

I received an expiration notice earlier for my social bookmarking site coming from my domain registrar Godaddy.com which says I only got 5 more days to renew it. I immediately went to Godaddy to renew it, but when I came to the payment page, I noticed that the domain now costs $9.95 then I was reminded of the promo code available all over the web. I used promo code OYH3 and got a $3 off the price making it $6.95. That’s a good deal isn’t it? I’ve got more domains expiring this June and July so this will be very useful.

I’ve received a mail earlier from Google Analytics announcing their newest feature and the first in the industry, the benchmarking.

XML is short for Extensible Markup Language made to transport structured data across different systems and platforms.

After discussing the advantages of submitting to article directories several days ago, I have learned yesterday that there’s a new exploit going around for article directories that is powered by article dashboard. Someone discovered a vulnerability which can be used by malicious people to conduct a sql injection attack. When I first learned about it, I asked the person who told me about it to prove it by logging into my site as admin and he really got in. When another friend told me how to do it, I tried it to a friend’s article dashboard powered directory and I also got into his admin panel without even knowing his username and password.
