That’s all for today. Let’s move onto today’s domain auctions.

Below is a hand-picked list of quick-pick domains with NO bids. There are a few sleepers on the list worth NOT BIDDING on, and allowing to enter into buy-it-now closeout status.

Attempting to allow domains with no bids to close in auction can be a bit risky. Once domains enter buy-it-now closeout status is also risky too.

I enjoy sniping and flipping expired domains at $5 pricing (really $13 after renewing it for a year), but be wise and don’t lose out on a good domain in an attempt to wait it out.

As always do your homework and research each domain before you commit to bidding and buying.

Below is a compiled list of expiring emoji domain auctions.  This specific auction list may not become a norm, so enjoy it while it lasts. 🙂

For expiring emoji domain auctions with bids, I’ve included emoji.  For auctions without bids at the time of this writing, emoji not included, but do feel free to use PunyCoder.com (copy and paste the list).

That’s all for today. Let’s move onto today’s emoji domain auctions.

It’s time to snap to it with today’s randomly selected domain auctions from SnapNames.com.

This randomly selected list of domains focuses primarily on keyword domains in auction.

It’s likely I’ll mix in random geo domain auction lists from time to time. I wish you the best in bidding.

Welcome back to today’s randomly selected domain auctions from NameJet.com.

I personally don’t bid or use NameJet.com, but there are good domain auctions to be found there.

For the many readers (that’s you!) that have expressed interest in NameJet.com domain auctions via a daily list, here it is. Unlike GoDaddy auctions, I don’t provide commentary for NameJet.com auctions.

Thanks for using my growing daily domain auction lists.

A few weeks ago, I shared a story about a friend launching a new website and desiring a way to share a list of his WordPress posts on specific pages throughout his website.

I shared two methods to accomplish this feat using WordPress’ Display Posts Shortcode plugin.

Although a good plugin to use for displaying the latest WordPress posts on a given WordPress page, a few of you contacted me about displaying the WordPress posts by a given category.

Of course, displaying the WordPress posts by a given category using WordPress’ Display Posts Shortcode plugin is not a problem at all.

In fact, simply set category or category_id parameters within the display posts shortcode, and you’re all set.

//WordPress’ Display Posts Shortcode Plugin - Shortcode examples

[display-posts category=“fishing,hiking”]

[display-posts category_id=“123”]

However, it is a problem when using WordPress’ Display Posts Shortcode plugin causes a conflict with other plugins on your website.

So, what do you do when encountering a Plugin conflict attempting to list posts by a given category?
