🔥Hot off the press and into my inbox about 30 minutes ago, I received an email from GoDaddy entitled: .Net Price Increase.

To kick off the year, NameJet launched another 80+ emoji domain auctions in its Premium .WS Emoji Domain auction, which debuted December 2017.

PreRelease bids were made and ended a few days ago for 9 single .WS emoji domains.

The same emoji domains are now in Public Auction with hours remaining until auctions end.

Today’s NameJet emoji domain auction results give the appearance that interest is waning for emoji domains.

Of course, this loosely held opinion is based on NameJet finishing last year quite strong with a number of .WS emoji domain auctions closing with 4-figure amounts.

So, how in the world do NameJet emoji domain auctions go from 4-figure amounts to barely meeting or not meeting 3-figure reserves? 🤔

Back to life and back to… wait for it… a blank WordPress website. 😱

That’s not how this song is supposed to go, per Soul II Soul. It’s supposed to be back to life, back to reality.

Nevertheless, this unfortunate, stark reality of a potential customer stating their website loaded a blank white screen came by way of a frantic call a few days ago.

What in the world could and would cause a WordPress website to load with HTTP 200 response yet load a white screen?

Although there are many things that could cause a WordPress website to have a white or blank screen to be loaded, I’m sharing with you the top 6 items to check.

A few weeks ago, you may recall, I shared that GoDaddy added “Watcher” data to buy-it-now and closeout expired domain auctions.

No sooner than I shared my finding with the domain community, Andrew Allemann wrote an article expressing his concern and hopes that GoDaddy would NOT add watcher data to the entire aftermarket platform.

And what a stirring of emotion both articles tapped into with an outpouring cry of dissatisfaction from the domain community about GoDaddy’s beta testing of such a feature.

But one of the comments from Andrew’s article left by Jamie Zoch piqued my interest.

TWO DAYS into the New Year, and time is quickly running out if you planning on saving 50% and attending NamesCon 2018, the Domain Name Industry’s conference of all conferences to attend.

It’s been anything but a 🍾 Happy New Year 🎉 for me over the last 24 hours. 😔

But hey, all in all, the good Lord saw that I made it from 2017 to 2018. Therefore, I’ll count my blessings! 😉
