If you woke up and guessed July 17th was World Emoji Day, then you’re off to a good start. If not, then no worries because life goes on — likely not one bit impacted.

Last year’s World Emoji Day brought us an anthem song as well as Codemoji.com — an amazing online tool aiming to simplify the complexities and fundamentals of coding for kids using emoji. Yes, coding with emoji! How amazing is that!?

Coming off the conclusion of Emojicon BK 2018, this year’s World Emoji Day builds on previous years delivering emoji events and product releases.

The first time I met George Verdugo — a long-time domain investor and developer, and entrepreneur of dotMediaBrands.com, he was sharing an interesting story at MERGE! about how his course of action regarding the development of multilingual domains, specifically Spanish Domains.

One of the biggest challenges for most website owners is developing and sustaining a content marketing strategy that is consistent and relevant.

Often times delivering website content becomes the goal rather than delivering relevant content that is engaging.

Most website content is often outdated no sooner than it goes live. However, more and more websites have committed to creating and sustaining the efforts to keep content evergreen.

One of the ways evergreen content is achieved is by displaying updated or last modified timestamps for each piece of content — see CNN image below.

About a month or so ago, it was brought to my attention by Page Howe that a conference dedicated to “all things emoji” would occur in New York just days before World Emoji Day.

A bit more sleuthing and I uncovered what looks to be a 2-year old conference certainly flying stealth under the radar.

A very common theme in the domain industry is venturing into the abyss of domain development. Domain investors often times are lead to consider domain development for a number of reasons.

Domain investors often conclude how lucrative the opportunity of domain development can be to increase the domain’s overall value as well as the opportunity for residual income by way of a full-fledge online business.

From personal experience, domain development is very much as deceiving as attempting to understand truly how big an iceberg is at surface level.

As many of us throughout the world close the books on the first half of the year and start the second half of the year with a clean slate, I discovered Register.To is kicking off the second half of the year with a promotion to be happy about.

Last week I was reminded that one of my many websites was not secure when visiting it from phone.

Fortunately, this website is used for personal development purposes and not a customer-facing website.

Nevertheless, it was alarming to see the url or address bar of the web browser display in bright red lettering: Website Not Secure.
